		Featuring the opening NBC theme music and a transparent peacock in the corner of your screen, NBA Showtime even uses the same camera angles preferred by the show's producers.
		A la NBA Jam, the players' heads are hideously over-sized so you can recognize each baller on the court (hopefully there was no need to implement this feature due to over-developed egos).
		NBA Showtime uses a three button control system, which makes the game immediately enjoyable for all players, regardless of skill level.

		NBA Showtime is from a long line of Midway arcade sports games stretching all the way back to the granddaddy of them all, the original NBA Jam.
		I recall a particularly bad version of NBA Jam for the Saturn, where the players were fuzzy and the movement of the camera made good gameplay more art and luck than skill.
		NBA Showtime continues that tradition (although some people will toggle the announcer off).

	Gaming Age review- NBA Showtime - NBA on NBC
		Yes, it's the same NBA Jam that wowed arcade crowds 10 years ago with players made from polygons instead of sprites.
		The only thing new is the catchy "NBA on NBC" theme song, and even that barely keeps this title afloat.
		It's 2-on-2 basketball with the crazy dunks and impossible shots that became synonymous with NBA Jam.

		With NBA Jam '99 recently released as well, I was left to wonder whether or not NBA Showtime was going to run game on its biggest competitor or be benched by the end of the first quarter.
		The reigning champ of basketball simulations is currently Sega's outstanding NBA 2K, but it wouldn't be entirely fair to judge NBA Showtime by the Dreamcast standard.
		In the vein as NFL Blitz 2000, NBA Showtime isn't so much a simulation as it is a spoof and a showcase for the more exhibitionary aspects of the sport.
