Game Summary:
NBA Jam 99 is a basketball game for the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color, released in 1998 by Acclaim Entertainment’s Acclaim Sports label and developed by Iguana West. New Jersey Nets forward Keith Van Horn appeared on the cover. Acclaim was unable to secure the license to use Michael Jordan’s name or likeness, and as such he was not available as a player for the Chicago Bulls. A player named Roster Guard is available in his place. Rosters are accurate as of July 1, 1998. The game also features Kevin Harlan on play-by-play with Bill Walton as the color commentator. The Utah Jazz’ Dan Roberts provides the arena announcing.

Description:

NBA JAM 99 has it all! Award-winning hi-rez graphics and 3D sports engine. Over 300 players with real-life faces and smooth skin textures. Authentic 5-on-5 team play styles like the Bulls triangle offense. Bonus 5-on-5 Jam mode with outrageous dunks. Create your own players and teams. Authentic team rosters, uniforms and schedules. Trade, sign, draft and release players. Bill Walton and Kevin Harlan bring you the courtside action. Motion capture by Keith Van Horn of the New Jersey Nets.

Gameplay:

The Nintendo 64 version of NBA Jam 99 features 5-on-5 play, replacing NBA Jam’s typically 2-on-2 play. (Acclaim had initially announced that the game would have modes for both 5-on-5 and 2-on-2 play.) The Game Boy Color version more traditionally retains the 2-on-2 play.
