NBA Jam Deluxe Cabinet comes pre-loaded with three classic arcade basketball games developed by Midway from 1993-1996: NBA Jam, NBA Jam Tournament Edition and NBA Hangtime.
The control panel has two sets of inputs: one arcade joystick and three buttons for each player. In addition to local multiplayer, you can play against users from all over the world via Wi-Fi. Like Arcade1Up's other Deluxe releases, it features a 17-inch HD display, a glowing bezel, dual stereo speakers, and a coin door on the front.
The cabinet is approximately 61.5 inches tall, just under 19 inches wide, and weighs approximately 62 pounds. If you want to sit while you play, Amazon has a limited time offer on this popular adjustable bar stool with backrest.
Arcade1Up has released several NBA Jam cabinets over the past five years, but the Deluxe Edition is the only model in stores today. Outside of Arcade1Up's closets, NBA Jam lay dormant for nearly 15 years; the latest home console game, NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, released on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2011. Luckily, Arcade1Up's NBA Jam cabinet offers an original way to revisit the best games in the series.
NBA Jam debuted exclusively in arcades in 1993 and was ported to consoles the following year. Tournament Edition, released in 1994, is essentially an updated and expanded version of the original NBA Jam. As the name suggests, the main addition is the tournament mode. It's still 2-on-2 basketball, but Midway has added a third player to each team, allowing for substitutions throughout each game. The Tournament Edition also expands the categories of player statistics.
NBA Hangtime was developed by the same Midway team, but with a different name, as the NBA Jam title was sold to Acclaim Entertainment. Midway has expanded the player roster to five again and introduced a create-your-own-player feature, but NBA Hangtime is still an NBA Jam game.
