It really is crazy thinking back. A buddy of mine and I stayed up all night playing GBA basketball on the C64 in 1987. It was only 2v2 and the players had first names of NBA greats and last names of the developers. Magic Lyndon, Jerry Orr, Larry Berg, to name a few. When Lakers V Celtics came out it blew our minds.

No, there's only changes for the Bucks, Mavs, and Nuggets in the 1993 offseason.

I'm pretty sure 1995 me would have completely lost his mind if he'd seen where all this video game technology was going. 1994 Dennis: 2024 Dennis: 1994 Horace: 2024 Horace: Every now and again, I just find it refreshing to gain some perspective on how far we've come while marveling at what we're capable of today.

I think it was NBA Showdown where the back of the box listed how authentic the player models were. Kevin Johnson’s goatee. Horace Grant’s goggles. Barkley’s (!!) dunks. I used to get so immersed in the games back then. I love the game today but there was something special about getting a USA Today & going over the rosters to make sure they were accurate.

Those features were listed on the back of the "_____ vs _____ and the NBA Playoffs" games (Barkley's monster dunk, Jordan's air reverse layup, Malone's in-your-face-slam, etc). I remember seeing that on the back of the box, too, and buying it the same day (at EB Games maybe?)

But speaking of NBA Showdown...you could exploit the same area behind the 3-point line as you could in Double Dribble; I fondly remember averaging over 45ppg with BJ Armstrong almost exclusively shooting 3's.

Thank God for community creations. I found the spurs alamodome court through the creations. 2k dropped the ball literally from a immersion perspective because the spurs opened the alamodome prior to the 94 season.

SN: I wish I could hit the jackpot so I can help 2k get the rights for Barkley, Miller and Rasheed Wallace.
