NBA ShowTime was released in 1999 on arcades, with home console ports for the N64, PS1, and Dreamcast following later that year. As I’m going through these series, it appears that Midway had a better grasp on how to do a multi-console release. A little odd since they had previously left that up to Acclaim,Continue reading “NBA ShowTime: a Great Game on the N64”

NBA Hangtime a Great Game on the N64
NBA Hangtime is Midway’s follow-up to NBA Jam Tournament Edition. It was marketed as the real sequel to the NBA Jam games and was released after the relationship between Midway and Acclaim broke down. This game was released on just about everything, including the SNES and Genesis. This game was released in 1996, around theContinue reading “NBA Hangtime a Great Game on the N64”
NFL QB Club 2001 is not Great
NFL QB Club 2001 was released in 2000, and Acclaim decided to shorten the title. This wasn’t the last game in the series, but it is the last one to appear on both the Dreamcast and N64. It still has Brett Favre on the cover, which is one of the more consistent parts of thisContinue reading “NFL QB Club 2001 is not Great”
NBA Jam 2000 is a good, not Great game
NBA Jam 2000 was released in 1999 and was exclusive to the N64. This is the third game in the Acclaim branch of the NBA Jam series. It is similar to the previous game, as it is more of a simulation of basketball. There were a few improvements made to the core game. Most ofContinue reading “NBA Jam 2000 is a good, not Great game”
NBA Jam 99 is a good, not Great Game
NBA Jam 99 is another game in the Acclaim branch of this franchise. This game was a console exclusive, as versions of the game were made for the N64 and Game Boy Color. It was made by Iguana, who had handled the other ports of NBA Jam games. For some reason, the N64 version wasContinue reading “NBA Jam 99 is a good, not Great Game”
NBA Jam Extreme is Good but far from Great
Do you remember the game NBA Jam Extreme? I didn’t, and I don’t even remember seeing this game in stores. There are a handful of games that I remember seeing at stores like Best Buy, Meijer, and Circuit City throughout the 1990s. This wasn’t one of them. I do applaud Acclaim’s restraint here. They could’veContinue reading “NBA Jam Extreme is Good but far from Great”
NFL QB Club 2000 is Not Great
NFL Quarterback Club 2000 is where the series really fell apart. This game was released in 1999 on the N64 and the Dreamcast. I’ll be looking at the N64 version, and I’m not planning on getting the Dreamcast version. Given the review scores from 1999, this is going to suck! Iguana handled the previous gamesContinue reading “NFL QB Club 2000 is Not Great”
Better than the Last Game: NFL QB Club 99
NFL Quarterback Club 99 was an N64 exclusive. It was released in 1998 and is the fifth game in Acclaim’s football series. Unlike the previous game in the series, the developer was only working on versions of this game for the N64 and the PC. The PC version was never released. There were a fewContinue reading “Better than the Last Game: NFL QB Club 99”
NFL QB Club 98 on the N64 has Great Graphics
NFL Quarterback Club 98 was an exclusive for the N64 and was released in 1997. It was published under the Acclaim Sports banner and was programmed by Iguana. This was the first football game announced for the N64. Brett Favre was the spokesman for this game. This was before he started stealing welfare money fromContinue reading “NFL QB Club 98 on the N64 has Great Graphics”
Super Smash TV: A Great Arcade Port for the Genesis
Super Smash TV isn’t a sequel to Midway’s arcade game or the NES game. It was released in 1992 and is a graphical improvement over the NES version. I’ll be looking at the Genesis version of the game for this review. Acclaim used Flying Edge to publish this game. It is a little odd, butContinue reading “Super Smash TV: A Great Arcade Port for the Genesis”
