Ever wished sports games would lighten up and be a bit more fun? Nowadays, everybody demands extreme realism from the latest Fifa or Madden offering... Back in the SNES era, the fun, frantic and oftentimes silly NBA Jam offered the best sports experience around.

NBA Jam features 2v2 games of fast-paced basketball action, with real-life stars pulling off insane superhuman dunking feats - it really has to be played to be believed.

Legend has it that Michael Jordan demanded his own personal copy of the game from Midway, featuring himself as a playable character; if it's good enough for the greatest basketball player of all time, it's good enough for anyone.
