The game that started it all for me, NBA Jam was the 1st arcade game I ever bought. This is probably my favorite game of all time, and rightfully so. I was in my video game playing prime when this game came out, and I spent countless amounts of my Parents quarters on the game at the Mineshaft, and at Woody's. No one had ever seen a basketball game like this before, and we were hooked. The graphics, dunks, speech, secret players, secret power ups, and full NBA rosters made this game the greatest basketball game ever. That, and the ability to enter your initials with your birthday to save all of your stats on every machine made this game completely addicting. This game is awesome by yourself, or as a 4P game. You never forget your first!
