19:16 This rewrote the best moments in NBA Jam history! 😂 My history teacher in 7th grade made a deal with us stating that if we scored high on the next test then we would get to have a free day to play games, and we did exactly that, so he brought his SNES and NBA Jam into the classroom and my classmates and I got to play it until the end of the class period. The teacher got in trouble for that, but he remains a legend to us for understanding how to motivate a class to put the effort in to learn.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL, that is really cool

[@ironhell808]

That's pretty good, but I can top it, my middle school had a school fair with a competition in the 90s with each class fundraising and I was a game collector then so I got my class to get a bunch of the old crt media carts and I brought all my consoles into school and made myself an arcade, I took 2nd in the entire school, by myself and I was the only room with only me and the 2 teachers, and no volunteers. I WAS 15 AT THE TIME.

[@thejanglezclan]

That teacher was ahead of his time. Kids are playing mobile games during class nowadays and *not* getting the high test scores.

[@jeenkzk5919]

I have great memories playing this game back when blockbuster was having a tournament. I’m not normally in the sports but this one was definitely a crossover for the average guy.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes it was, and brought in a lot of non-basketball fans

[@blakfloyd]

Yeah, it definitely was. Even though I was an avid NFL and NBA fan at the time, my gaming interests couldn't have given a shit about sports in 1994 but NBA Jam somehow became the first game I ever bought with my own money when I was 13.

Yet another outstanding video👏 Kudos to the Patman for acknowledging the greatness of WrestleFest 👌👍😎

This brings back amazing memories of my childhood and my father. I remember the Easter he surprised me with the game on super nintendo. It had been released for a month or two at that point but was sold out everywhere and very hard to find. What a great time to be a kid

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Very cool, thanks for sharing

[@travisswiger9213]

My Dad drove me to Toys R Us after my Saturday Morning Rec Basketball game to buy this game when I was in 7th grade. I was nervous the whole drive thinking it might be sold out. This was just after release. I think this was the first game I remember chasing just after it came out. NBA Jam has a special place in my heart!! I have the Arcade One Up version sitting downstairs all these years later! LOL

Great documentary on NBA Jam, PatmanQC! 4 billion quarters = 1 billion, that's a lot and like Pong breaking the machines too from stuffed change. I bought NBA Jam on the Genesis back then, a fun game as a fan of the Bulls and Knicks. Unlocking characters was fun. Surprised they had in those curse words in the arcade cheat. Akklaim, that was sneaky of them taking the license for themselves. Time to hit the courts and replay this classic again! Thanks!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes it was, thanks for the nice words

[@ragnakak]

One of the reasons it made so much money is you have to put credits in for each of the four quarters. I think it was 2 credits for the first quarter and 1 credit for each of the other three if you were going to play a whole match

[@RyanRead]

Oh yes one of those sports games I loved playing. Always pretended I was one of these legends doing crazy moves I wanted them to do on games. Great as always.

I used to work for Williams Electronics back in the day in Chicago. I remember they had a prototype room with mostly pinball games and NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat and my supervisor would have to go back there and tell the employees to get back to work after staying in there past our lunch break. Lol. I remember Macaulay Culkin coming there because they had a Home Alone pinball machine and he came to check it out. Lol. Good times!

[@sixburgh64ss]

I'll never forget my first NBA JAM arcade experience. It was an early version so I got to choose my favorite player, Charles Barkley. Down by one point in the 4th quarter, I got passed the defense and launched in the air for the super high, triple summersault dunk as the final seconds ticked away. This was nearly a "bad decision" that would have left me hanging in mid air and with a loss on my record but Sir Charles slammed it through just as the clock hit zero prompting an animation that left me absolutely awe struck, shattering the backboard in slo motion something I still have never seen again. Eight years later I had a job and my very own NBA JAM TE full size arcade in my basement, which I still have to this day. It is the third version however so no Barkley, Shaq, broken glass or MK characters. It does however have what ended up being my favorite duo/team on the game and one that wasn't on the early versions due to a mid season trade, Ron Harper, the most well rounded player on the game imo and Dominique Wilkins of the LA Clippers.

A billion $ in quarters in year one ? That is astounding figures, and early proof that pay to play gets you the big bucks. I remember absolutely feeding this machine with coins like it was a hungry labrador. my fave edition is Max Hangtime. The ability to do lean in shots from near the baseline was a huge plus. Patman you are up near 70k subs, WOW! Congrats to you it's a testament to what wonderful videos you make I've been watching for a long time but never really comment but NBA Jam is so iconic and such a crossover game for people. Multiplayer it really shines most of all you can have some epic games with close finishes but the game's rubber-banding can be frustrating too is the other side of keeping games close The NBA nowadays has talent bursting at the seams and there are a huge amount of big names and superstars and a lot of young superstars doing some craaaazy stuff (check out what Ja Morant is doing that dude is a video game) Some people in the comments saying the NBA these days is trash.... I can only think you don't actually watch any games at all🤣 Fas as Tennis games go I have been a huge fan of that too and I can say without a doubt my favourite two old school Tennis games were Roland Garros on the Amiga but my #1 and a game I still play now all the time is ATP Tour Tennis on the megadrive. That game is fantastic.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

The game was a bona fide modern-day classic right up there with streetfighter 2. Actually no, I haven't followed basketball in probably 15 years. Thanks for the nice words, 70,000 closing in fast. Cheers

Arcade Tech for around 25 years. 32:42 'Putting quarters on games hasn't been seen since pac-man, and Donkey kong' I remember that back in the day, but we didn't see that again until Street Fighter 2 came out a couple of years earlier in 91/92. SF2 where we played, locations had a 'next' quarter device mounted on the machine, which held 8 quarters. NBA JAM did it too a couple of years later, but I didn't see that happen again after that until Dance Dance Revolution, but we used custom cards/IDs. I worked at Chuck E Cheese, and we had one, and some people that worked there had "perfect' records with no loses, but I saw for myself, if they lost, they would shut the machine off before it saved their stats.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

We didn't see a whole lot of quarters on the machine with streetfighter. Usually it was just a line behind machine. That is pretty crazy about dance dance Revolution

[@brockmckraken]

I was legendary at this game. Shawn Kemp was always my choice. The key to never losing the ball to your opponent was passing. Always reversing directions to pass when advancing down the court and, as many of my opponents never mastered, passing and passing back, when going up for a dunk. Me and a guy I didn't even know except as a teammate on NBA Jam would CRUSH our opponents. Cheers to that guy whoever and wherever he is.

[@kevinmalone4341]

I could write a book on all my knowledge of this game. I estimated I spent over $400 in quarters on the first game. Some fun facts: The "rubberbanding" computer assistance lasts for an entire quarter. If you are slightly behind at the end of the third quarter, the computer will cheat in your favor for the whole fourth quarter. Each player has their own sweet spot on the court where their shots are more accurate. It is either the very corner of the court (either top or bottom), the top of the key, or a point halfway between those two. As a result, Mike Izzulino of Dallas is the best three point shooter in the game. His sweet spot is easier to get to than that of Mullins. Dunking is actually a negative stat. Layups are much more accurate than dunks. This is changed in Tournament Edition. And if you needed another reason to know why Acclaim sucks... There are six different control schemes for NBA Jam on the NES. Not a single one matches the arcade controls.

[@skyden24195]

I had the Super Nintendo version when it came out. And actually, I was happier to have the more complete in-game sounds/dialogue than the music. The music I could always substitute in-house which I usually did with the very appropriate Michael Jackson song, "Jam" (from the album "Dangerous" which I still have on cassette.) One other little bit of personal relationship with the game: prior to knowing about the "Grim Reaper" in-game secret character, I had been gifted a Halloween mask that was of the same kind used to create the head of the Grim Reaper character. I may still have it amongst my containers of collected items. If I'm able to find it, I'll post a KZbin short video to show the mask.

My good sir, that was a fine Simpsons reference with President Clin-ton. Surprised you didn't mention the home ports of Tournament Edition. TE on Game Gear is much better than the base Jam on GG, which was made by one guy in a rush. And the Atari Jaguar and SEGA Saturn versions of Tournament Edition are widely considered the absolute best among home console offerings. The PlayStation version is also good, but only as it came out in Japan, since the A.I. in the American release is messed up and way too aggressive.
