Play NBA Jam Tournament Edition (World) Online

NBA Jam Tournament Edition came out for the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by Midway. It was one of those games that felt right at home on the system, building on the arcade original with more teams and a deeper tournament structure. The graphics were big and loud, the sound effects crisp, and it ran smooth even with all the on-screen chaos.

You control two players per team, switching between them with a button press. The goal is simple: outscore the other team before time runs out. Signature mechanics include the turbo button for bursts of speed, performing outrageous dunks by holding a direction and the shoot button, and going "on fire" after making three baskets in a row, which lets you shoot from anywhere. The pace is relentless, with constant back-and-forth action and very little downtime. It feels fast, physical, and completely over the top in the best way possible.
