How to Play NBA Jam (proto v 2.00 1/24/93)
Quick start
- Choose a team and orient yourself toward the attacking basket.
- Move into space before committing to a scoring attempt.
- Watch the other players' positions as the attack develops.
- Fall back toward your own basket when possession changes.
Controls
Move with the eight-way joystick. Shoot/Block shoots on offence and jumps to block on defence. Pass/Steal passes on offence and steals on defence. Hold Turbo to run faster and enhance actions; combine Turbo with Shoot for a dunk near the basket. The top meters show remaining Turbo. With a computer teammate, the action buttons also tell that teammate when to shoot or pass back.
NBA Jam (proto v 2.00 1/24/93) — About this game
NBA Jam (proto v 2.00 1/24/93) is an exact registered version in this game family. NBA Jam reduces basketball to an exaggerated two-on-two contest. With fewer players sharing the court, each movement toward the basket has a visible role in creating or closing an opening. Licensed teams and digitized likenesses bring the professional league into that compact format, while the game's presentation pushes the action beyond a strict simulation. Read where the other players stand before committing to an attack, and change direction quickly when possession shifts to protect the route toward your own basket. Version-specific changes to characters, stages, timing, difficulty, balance, graphics or hidden content are not inferred where the registration does not document them.
