NBA Jam 99 for Game Boy Color

Australia, 1998

Videogame

NBA Jam 99 employs the two-on-two arcade gameplay of that series is known for. This game is similar in gameplay and graphics to NBA Jam Tournament Edition, which was created earlier by the same developer, but with updated colour graphics and animations, more modes, and updated teams and players. Game modes include playing a single game, a full season, playoffs and a practice mode. All 29 NBA teams of the 1998-99 season are included, with five star players per team, each with their unique skills. In fitting with the game’s arcade style, abilities include being able to control both players on a team, power-ups, hot spots where bonus points are scored, juice mode for accelerated gameplay and more.
