Trivia
NBA Showtime is the name of NBC's NBA pre-game show. It was also the name of a Sega CD console basketball game released in 1994.
Version 1.0 of the game originally featured Dennis Rodman on the Lakers. His hair color was adjustable ... and even changed during halftime on occasions! By the time Version 2.0 was released, which added 1999 rookies, Rodman had been released by L.A., and Midway removed from the Lakers.
Among the people with special hidden codes is former all-star guard and NBC broadcaster (now studio analyst) Isiah Thomas. Isiah was part of the initial Jam as a Detroit Piston. He is the only ex-NBA player with a code in Showtime.
Cabinet Information
The marquee shows the title in a shaded blue background, along with a 3-D picture of the trademark NBC "peacock" logo. The side panel is similar, except the words NBA Showtime are vertical on the panel.
Conversion
This game uses the same hardware as the NFL Blitz series. It can be converted into any of these games.
Miscellaneous
NBA Jam Extreme is not technically considered a sequel to this game because it was made by Acclaim.
