Summary

NBA Hang Time on the Super NES feels like a love‑letter to the arcade era, even though Funcom’s console port shows its age with grainy sprites and a tinny soundtrack. The core two‑on‑two action is unchanged, but the game sprinkles in fresh tricks: you can build a custom player by allocating points to height, weight, power, shooting and defense, then earn more points by winning games or acing the post‑match NBA trivia quiz. Alley‑oops and double dunks unlock a "team fire" mode that lights up both teammates, while spin moves keep the pace frantic. Hidden behind a three‑digit "combination lock" on the Match‑Up screen, secret codes can remix graphics or gameplay, echoing Mortal Kombat’s Kombat Kodes. The roster mirrors the 1996‑97 season, letting you battle from the Vancouver Grizzlies all the way to the Chicago Bulls, then face off against a roster of mystery opponents. Despite its visual shortcuts, the SNES version still captures the over‑the‑top excitement that made the original NBA Jam a classic.
