- *****************************************************************************
- Powerups
-
- The following powerups are to be performed at the "Tonight's
- Match-up Screen. When you are instructed to hold a button, you can
- either release it when the screen is blank or when the court appears.
-
- Powerup Fire:
- Press B seven times, then hold Y, B, and Up. This allows
- your player to be on fire for the entire game.
-
- Powerup Dunks:
- If you have a burning desire to jam from just beyond half
- court, try this. While rotating the directional pad 360
- degrees (clockwise), press B thirteen times and hold B
- on the thirteenth button press.
-
- Powerup Defense:
- This enables your player to goal tend without penalty.
- Press B five times, and hold on the fifth button press.
-
- Shooting Percentage:
- When you do this trick, the clock will show the
- percentage of your shot. This helps in finding
- player's best spots for threes. While holding
- down, tap B once, then hold A and B.
-
- Powerup Intercept:
- This powerup is basically useless, at least in my
- experience. While rotating the pad clockwise, tap B.
- Keep rotating and tapping until the court appears.
-
- Powerup Turbo:
- Unlimited turbo for the entire game. Press B five times,
- then hold Y, B, and A.
-
- Juice Mode:
- This makes the speed of game play double. After you get
- used to it, you may never want to play at regular speed again.
- Press any button thirteen times, then hold B and X.
-
- Password with Juice Mode: Use this password to automatically start every
- game in juice mode. Initials HRY: QF3B43T/QJY55TF (86-0).
-
- *****************************************************************************
- Special Characters: There are 12 special characters that I know how to
- get. Anyone who knows how to get the cheerleaders, or anyone else, is
- encouraged to mail me or Paul. To get the special characters, enter the
- first two initials. Then place the cursor over the last initial, but do
- not enter. Then perform the listed button combo. (Example: L,S,X.
- Hold L button, hold START button, press X)

- STRATGEY SECTION
-
- There are many ways to be successful on NBA Jam, especially because
- the CPU is so easy. The best way to steal is to run between the computer when
- he inbounds. He will always pass the ball back to his teammate. If you are
- behind the reciever of the inbounds pass when he passes, you will be in
- perfect position to intercept it. I have recorded up to 67 steals with
- this techinque!
- Also, knocking down the cpu is useless for the purpose of getting
- steals. Use the knock down to prevent a pass to an open teammate, or to run
- down your opponent's shot clock.
- On offense, only shoot open 3's. Always remeber that there is
- nothing wrong with two. An easy way to get an open three is to dish it off
- in the middle of a jam. Head fakes also work some of the time.
- Ranking the attributes:
- (1) Speed
- (2) Defense
- (3) Three Pointers (tie)
- (3) Dunks (tie)
- If your player is quick, you have an easier time getting open and
- driving to the hoop. Also, with a lot of speed you can get back on D after
- you make a mistake. Defense is important because it determines how quick and
- how high your player jumps and also how good he is at stealing the ball.
- As far as three pointers and dunks are concerned, your game plam will
- determine which one you value the most.
- This is merely an early version of the strategy section. Look for a
- longer version in the future :)

- LAST WORDS
-
- Thank you to the few people who mailed us with questions and comments.
- Also, thank you Acclaim for creating this game. Mark Turmell deserves much
- of the credit for creating the original Jam. :)
-
- I have been asked about mixing codes. I am not sure of this can be done,
- and I will be working on it. Anyone who has info, please mail Aaron.
-
- We now believe that the picture of the cheerleader printed in EGM was a
- hoax. They said that if you watch the demo long enough, you will see this
- possible special character. I watched the demo for the longest time, but
- this never happened. :(
-
- I will be glad when people stop asking me if Shaq and Jordan are on NBA Jam.
- It's not people on the internet, but everyone I talk to about Jam asks me
- that. One guy even claimed he got them on the Sega version. He said you
- had to hold the computer scoreless and go without letting your teammate
- score for 10 games in a row. Food for thought.
-
- The word is that NBA Jam: Tournament Edition will be available for SNES and
- Genesis around Christmas. However, it is very possible that this will be
- moved into the future. I guess we'll have to wait it out... :)
-
- Also, has anyone noticed that the computer on TE cheats about twice as much
- as on the original arcade Jam? The other day I won four games in a row,
- then today I lost three consecutive. At the end of the fourth quarter in
- all of these games, the computer would steal the ball from me just as I
- inbounded :(
-
- Congratulations to the Arkansas Razorbacks for capturing the 1994 NCAA
- basketball title! We Arkansas fans are anxiously awaiting a repeat in 1995!
- We are also anticipating seeing Corliss Williamson and Scotty Thurman in a
- future version of Jam !!

- Go Hogs Go!
