The arcade-hit NBA Jam makes its Game Boy debut with two-on-two basketball and a choice of 27 professional teams. Pass and shoot with the handheld's two face buttons, and use the start button for the all-important turbo boost. Unlock secret characters and special features by inputting certain initials before each game. Choose to play with or without CPU assistance, which determines whether the computer takes control over your teammate. Each pro athlete is individually rated in speed, three-pointers, dunks, and defense. Unlike the coin-op game and its console versions, NBA Jam on Game Boy does not include Game Link Cable support for head-to-head matches against a friend.
