Line 4:
''NBA Jam'' is a two-on-two basketball game that was released in the arcades (by [[Midway Games]]) and 16-bit consoles (by [[Acclaim]]). The game is notorious for its insane dunks and equally insane catchup. The game became a phenomenon when it was released in 1993, [[Cash Cow Franchise|earning over a billion dollars in quarters over its lifespan]]. An [[Updated Rerelease]] called ''NBA Jam Tournament Edition'' quickly followed, with new players, stat tracking, and hidden players. In 2010, [[Electronic Arts|EA]] would release ''NBA Jam'' on the 7th-generation consoles.

* [[Announcer Chatter]]: Provided by Tim Kitzrow doing his best Marv Albert impression, providing memorable quips like "Is it the shoes?" "He's on fire!" and "Jams it in!"
* [[Author Appeal]]/[[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: A rare case where the designers actually admitted this and bragged about it. Series co-creator Mark Turmell and the lead designers, all Detroit Pistons fans, specifically programmed the game to make Chicago's shots brick like crazy in clutch situations against Detroit.
