Why is it that 90% of CL ads for NBA Jam call it "NBA Jams?" I swear I see it misspelled more often than I see it spelled correctly.

It's done by the same idiots that pronounce the S on:
Des Moines
Illinois

I don;t know who needs to be smacked more - the people who pronounce the S or the person that added the letter :D

Should've spelled them
Duh Moine
and Illinoi
 
Yeah. Just change the CMOS battery. If you don't play it much it will do that every time you come back to it. Pretty annoying but wont stop the game from playing.
 
Thanks for the quick response. I wish I can find parts that I need as fast as I get help around here. O' and Sorry for the SSSSSSSSSSS in Jam. I'm so use to say NBA Jams for some reason. My bad!

It also wont save initials/records for Jam, or winning streaks in MKII.
 
The funny thing with the Jams thing is when that game came out, I don't remember anybody calling it "NBA Jams". Everybody called it NBA Jam, but now I hear people saying "JAMS" all the time.
 
Naw, I worked at Babbage's in a local mall back then. I had a teaching degree. This is why I had to work a job at the mall, in the evenings.

So, people came in all the time asking for "Intendo" "Tapes" and "NBA Jams" "Tapes" .

We had one grandma come in and ask why our Little Mermaid "tape" got stuck in her VCR.


Typically, we'd get phone calls (since NBA Jam and for that matter, Tecmo Super Bowl would always be sold out):

"You gots Super Tecmo Bowl Intendo tapes?"

or "Do you have NBA Jamz?"

Now, this call came in from all ethnic groups before I get tagged by the politically correct cadre. I spelled this phonetically to let you have an idea what $3.80 per hour got you back then.

My boss, who was of an ethnic persuasion (not mentioning which one and including "caucasian" in that theoretical group) got so damn frustrated he started referring to the Little Mermaid as "That Little Merhole."

The list of misnomers in video game history is long, and dignified.
