- The two-players mode is functional.
- The game is dated 1994 (whereas the GG version is 1993). |

| This may seem like a dumb question, but what's so special about the SMS version of NBA Jam? Is it any less common than the GG/MD versions? Or any less common than Alien 3, Krusty's Super Fun House or Crash Dummies? | |

It didn't get released, so I'd say it's pretty uncommon ;) Nice find BTW, looks pretty cool :). |

It's possible that this game was released as a pirate cart?? I remember playing a "non-16 bit" version of NBA Jam on a XXX in 1 SMS bootleg cartridge with my friends back then but I could be wrong...
PD: Loved that old school rgb monitor.. |

It could also be a prototype cartridge that was never commercially released by Acclaim. |

The possibilities for one of those rare prototypes being found in a small country in South America are 1 in a million..... I highly doubt it was a prototype. |

The story..

The story is quite a nice one!
I bought several prototypes from someone affiliated to an ex-developer. This particular one was advertised as being an Hang On prototype! As I often do I bought all his Sega 8-bits prototypes anyway. The package then went on missing. I trusted the seller so at some point I assumed it could have been lost in the mail, then I forgot about it for a bit. Then finally arrived to me after more than two months (with no explanation from the post office). It wouldn't run on the Master System and only when I dumped it I found out the surprise that it was NBA Jam! I first thought it was a Game Gear ROM copied to a SMS cartridge but no - the palette is correct and the game include a 2 players mode, so it is indeed a conversion of the game for the Master System. Now the reason the seller thought it was Hang On is because the ROM image doesn't contain a valid Sega header. So running it on an unmodified western Sega Master System would show a software error screen or revert to the game in the console.. which happened to be Hang On. (I'm sending a bit of additional money to the seller as he was good and helpful on all front) |

Very nice!
To use Turbo in game, double tap any direction and it will stay engaged until you stop moving. |

First, thanx for the release of this pearl!! ^_^
Second, I tried the cheats of GG version and all worked perfectly. Exceptions: Use  instead  to play as Mark Turmell and Warren Moon. And the Juice Mode code don't worked. Any alternative way to make the Juice Mode work?
EDIT: You can use the Button for both players 1 and 2.

[2] x 14, [2]+[1]. The press of button 1 acts differently from the GG version so the same underlying code has to be entered slightly differently. |

Im the programmer both game gear and PS1 versions of NBA JAM.. I did the MS conversion and it was finished, but we had the problem of the buttons.. The arcade and all other home conversion used the same 3 buttons.. But the MS only had two and we could not find a acceptable way of making it work so the game was shelved.
Good find coz i don't even have a copy of this.. Chris Kirby Iguana entertainment 1993 - 1996 |
