He's on fire! Jedidentist's NBA Jam TE Restoration
NBA Jam seems to be one of those red headed step-children of the collecting community. Maybe it's too commercial? Too mainstream? I don't know..maybe it's just because it's a 90s game. In any case, it's a game I played my entire freshman year in college after lunch in our cafeteria, and then in the years after on my friend's SNES. So for me, it's another nostalgia game. It's also a 4 player game (which I have none of) and is an easy game to play for non-gamers who visit my house. It wasn't something I'd originally planned on getting, but was fortunate to find one an hour from my house via eBay. Even better, it was the Tournament Edition and happened to be Version 2.0, so it has the hidden Mortal Kombat characters!
So here I was at the pickup. I've managed to fit several cabs in my wife's SUV, but unfortunately, even with the control panel removed this baby wouldn't fit.
However, after keeping it under 55 mph, it made it home safely. Here's what I started with when I got home:
