Developed by Funcom and published by Midway, NBA Hangtime arrived on the Super Nintendo in 1996 as a sports game.

It landed about 5 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1996 include Super Mario RPG, FIFA 97 and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.

Funcom also made Daze Before Christmas and Winter Gold for the SNES.

NBA Hangtime supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

  • you want to race and compete
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the SNES hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you need current teams and rosters
