Hang time is nba jam perfected
Everyone in my family use to thrash this game all day long!! Nba Hangtime is truly a classic!! Couple of years ago went on ebay brought N64 console & by a stroke of luck my dream game Nba Hangtime came with it!!
I think the number one thing people don't realize the difference between Hangtime and Jam is that you can do so much more in Hangtime. Fade aways, interrupting your dunk to layup, team fire, alley-oops, moving jump shots, better blocking, rpg elements for create a player. It's just a better game in almost ever aspect.
this game is the best basketball game ever made
Rhodie Slayer lol
NBA 2K11. Enough written.
Rhodie Slayer can't argue with that
Baseline leaner!
Idk. You have showtime, nba live 2005, 2k7, 6 15, 20
No lead is ever safe in Hangtime

And what a hell of a defense this game had.
I played a lot of NBA Showtime on my N64 back when i was a kid, awesome memories.
I'm surprised Acclaim never ported NBA Jam Extreme to the N64 really.
My brother and I got this game when it was released. It was twice as expensive than any other game, but like you said we were starved for games. We put hundreds of hours into it and so I feel like we got our money's worth; great memories of this game
Had so much fun with this game late 90s.
N64 best port of NBA Hangtime cause its near arcade perfect
TheDarkwingj i think so too
@@timt183 lol how?? N64 version is alot better the graphics are better and there's no stupid load times
@@timt183 To fix the players being fat, watch someone on TH-cam who is capturing the game in 4:3, because if you’re that stupid you obviously only have the PS1 version.
N64 version has much better animation, and smoother looking on a whole. And no version is gonna look exactly like the arcade due to the much higher resolution the arcade game had. The MK ports had the same issue. However, at the time this was straight up the next best possible thing, and was easily one the N64’s best home ports.
Bought this on eBay a few days ago and it arrived today. I gotta say it's still a very fun game and I am glad I remembered about it it... It was one of those games you once borrowed from a friend for a few months, but which you never actually owned. 20 years later and I finally have this one as well lol.
So playable even today have to appreciate this 2-D gem...
Wow, I didn't know this game was like NBA Jam. I thought all the other N64 basketball games would be shitty knock offs of NBA courtside
This was one of the first NBA games I got I still remember Mum coming home with this and that insanely high Tomahawk dunk was crazy
Yeah the dunks were fire
This was 1 of my favorite games on N64. Team up with bros & friends with created players was the best.
I have rented this game frequently as a kid, but sadly never owned it. Playing it with my brother and cousins was so much fun. Had so many fond memories playing NBA Hang Time, and I really dig the catchy soundtrack. I'm definitely adding this to my collection, as I absolutely love arcade style sports games.
This port was the best home port of an NBA jam game. I remember the first time I rented this and went crazy. Finally there was an arcade perfect port of the game.
81irs its certainly a very rad game indeed
Other than the arcade and PC versions of hangtime the N64 was the best, followed by SNES, then Genesis, then PS1. Me and a buddy of mine still get together twice a week to play the SNES version. Love that team fire!
Aw man, what a game!! This is one of those games that i vividly remember playing for hours with my little brother and having tonnes of time with. I had completely forgot what it was called until this video, all i could remember before this was the flaming shots and shaking camera shot when you dunked
haha yeah and the amazing commentary! boomshakalaka !
This was my favorite game ever. I could never get bored of jamz or hangtime
Love this game, this was the best sports game on the 64
I never even cared for sports games but this one was so fun with how insane and over the top it was. 20 years later my brother and I randomly say references to the commentators weird voice lines
slamalamadingdong!
is that legal!?
Hang time was one of our staples back in the day along with Mario 64, Mario Kart, Zelda, Star Fox, Golden Eye and ISS.
I loved the tomahawk dunk where you damn near hit the ceiling from the free throw line
Fuckin loved this game
Damn, the animation in this game looks as smooth as butter.
As a NBA Jam/College Slam fan on the SNES, this is one of my favorite sports games.
I am sorry you played the snes version. it was compeletly sad versus the n64 version. The n64 version had better graphics, more cheats, create a character, it kept your stat records and world records. plus the 4 player option. way more playability.
@@terrynewkirk2699 that's obvious given the N64 is 4x more powerful. The SNES was still decent enough for those that had no other option at the time.
You havent lived until you have created a player with maxed out attributes and a Basketball head; Caught fire in-game and double dunk alley ooped with your siblings while doing 20 front flips in mid air.
LMFAO This game was one of the best N64 games to play with friends. Each shove, every spin move, and every 3 point swish that managed to not get blocked, meant soo much more. Friendships were lost and gained, lunch money was bet on, and when we took our skills to the local arcade we demolished anyone that tried to play us.
NBA Hangtime is one of those games that no matter how old you get, when you see the funky dunk animations you still laugh your ass off. This game was NBA Street before NBA Street ever existed. Without games like this, the dunk contest would have never innovated the way it did in the early 2000s by the hand of Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Jason Richardson, and other dunkers years later that grew up with games like this.
Such a great game. Many hours gone into this, especially the multuplayer.
The n64 and pc versions are arcade perfect. It's amazing how the she's and genesis versions got the players faces in the game. Good job williams!!!!
I've not played the pc version and yet now i really want to :)
Hunt it down, it's worth every penny.
This was an awesome game. My stepson and I played this for hours and laughed and laughed and laughed.....it allowed us some great times to bond.
This game was very fun. I remember saving birthday money to get this. It was $59.99 or $69.99 I believe; it was so long ago. Great review Glen.
I loved this game so much on the N64 back in the day. Bought it when it came out after loving to play NBA JAM on SNES at a friend's house. To me it was everything NBA JAM offered but done better.
This is still my all time favourite game for snes so ive brought both this game and an n64 just to try it
I bought this recently, got a basketball itch, enjoyed NBA Jam on the SNES wanted more than that, this is pretty much exactly what I was looking for.
461 - unlimited turbo code!!! GHILL and TURMEL… unbeatable duo! 🔥… hammered HOURS upon HOURS into this classic! Team fire was insane! Hahaha! “He’s heating up!” Ah, the memories!
It got terrible reviews at the time of its release, but reviewers were looking for something "next-gen" and unique. It has aged really well, actually. That's the nature of 2D games.
I still have my copy. Great game despite its repetitiveness. Had loads of multplayer replay value with friends believe it or not. while the core gameplay is a carbon copy of NBA Jam, Hangtime felt like it had faster gameplay and tighter controls on the N64. Underrated game for its time.
played it couple times at disney orlando, 96, they had it, had great time on it, wait for port then by xmas 96 i got n64 and later i found out bout nba hangtime port n64, at time look and sound just like arcade, i wanted it big time, got later in jan 97 i was happy, played it on and off for 4 or 5 yrs then i sold my n64 boy that was bad choice but at time, back old video game was really in at time in mid late 2000s, but i miss nba hang time adn my n64 sometimes , il get it near future
This game will be getting hammered over the Christmas period...so much fun, lots of laughs and intense gameplay...close games are just the best 👍🏼
Great review like always, Glenn, this is one of my all time favorite basketball games. I grew up playing the SNES version. When I got my N64 later in its lifespan I came across this one for real cheap. NBA Jam is without question a classic but I kind of prefer Hangtime over Jam, this one has much better graphics and a create a player option which provides for hours of fun.
Never played it Glenn but it looks like a game I would enjoy for sure ! Great review as always mate :-)
This holds up 10x better than any basketball sim from this era. It's pure simple fun.
+Zach Becker that's why NBA jam is still one of the best basketball titles ever 😍
Yep also i dont know why they havent male one nba jam game so sad
This was a time when having actual player likenesses in a game was a huge deal. I remember all star baseball 99 advertised "real life player faces" when they all actually looked like crap. Low res photos pasted onto generic player models.
One of my favorite games ever made, I rented it from Blockbuster for years, and they eventually put it on sale and i bought it for like $5. It didn't need a memory card because it saved it all on the cartridge, so i was able to bring back my season from years ago with my password even after all those other people rented it lol What sucks is that I lost the cartridge, and have a N64 emulator, but I've never been able to find a ROM for this game that works. If someone has one please let me know
I am in the same boat. Just frickin love this game and now I want to play it on my PC with xbox controller but all rooms seems to be broken. I don't know how to dump my cartridge either to get a perfect rom.
I was a sucker for arcade games back in the 90s. Also being a big NBA fan back then I loved NBA Jam and when I saw NBA Hangtime in the arcades I was excited that there was a graphical and gameplay update to the NBA arcade series from Midway. In 1997 I rented the Genesis version with my then best friend who I had soon lost contact with and played it for hours. Even the Genesis version looked good to me back and played well. Soon after I found the Genesis version in the bargain bin at a local Target store and bought it. I was so excited that I finally was able to own this game and played it for hours on end just as I had when I previously rented it. Obviously the N64 was the better version but back then there was no way for to own a N64 and this game so I had to make due with the Genesis version.
GhostBlade oh wow theres a genesis version of hang time?
***** Yes, there was a Genesis, SNES, PS1 and N64 version released for consoles. The Genesis version played surprisingly well and I thought the graphics, music and gameplay were good even back in 1997.
+N64 Glenn Plant i racked up 100s of hours on the genesis version back in the day, awesome game lol
I've always love this game, wish they would do an updated version to this game in our modern time, 2 on 2 over the top basketball game with dunks 50 ft over the rim main lol
This looks like alot of fun! It's still how I imagine NBA Jam should be
pp thouggt this game was bad.....wow. this is a classic that everyone loved in thr 90s. shows reviewers can be awfully wrong sometimes
I read one of my old Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) magazines today where they reviewed the PS1 version of NBA Hangtime. They said how the PS1 version had long load times and the graphics were worse than the arcade and N64 version because they were more pixelated on the PS1 version. They recommended the N64 version over the PS1 version.
GhostBlade thats cool to know, id probably agree especially as theres no loading times on this version
***** Playstation had NBA Live 97, and Live 98 though, and N 64 didn't.
Tamentonen Hageshi NBA Hangtime is way better than those games. NBA Live games were terrible. NBA arcade games was where it was at.
Played this at my friends house for hours everyday when I was a kid. And tiday 39 years old I am looking on buying a N64 with nba haamgtime. What TV should I have? A old CRT TV i Guess?
In an ideal world yes!
I have to agree, an sports game is the easiest game to put or buy for a new console.
I usually buy a sports game when I buy a new console. My mom bought me this back in the day because I was not able to get the NBA Courtside featuring Kobe Bryant game. I was disappointed at first, but I ended up loving this game.
yeah court side was such an awesome looking game for the time i loved that too
These are the kind of sports games I miss were the focus was less on a true to life game of B-Ball and more on the idea of it just being a crazy good time. Admitdly, I have played this but I plan to pick it up soon. Maybe I can trick some NBA video game players into playing with me.
haha now that i would like to see. i remember having nba jam on the saturn and my dad and brother spent a whole friday night till like 1am playing it. awesome memories
I have actually been working on getting a cabinet of this for about a year....I can get it cheap but shipping would be a nightmare
I had NBA Showtime, which was sponsored by NBC. I'm not sure that it was any better than this, but gave just a few more options. But I love a classic arcade basketball game 2 on 2 is where it's at. Still arcade NBA Jam is tops.
Best two on two bastelball game ever made hands down. I wish they would consider making a new game of the same title for the switch.
Hi Glenn, are you going to review Paper Mario 64? It's a game I haven't played but it's fairly expensive second hand so am interested if it's worth shelling out for :) cheers
This NBA Jam es port for the N64 look fun. I have never played any of the NBA jam like games on any console. I'm considering getting NBA Jam 2013 for my PS3.
i played the saturn one the most which was amazing, don't get this confused with nba jam 2000 which is more sim like :)
***** It'd Be So Cool If You Enter Deadman As Your Name And 1965 As The Pin Number You'd Unlock The Undertaker (1993 Version) As A Playable Character If Taker Were In NBA Jam (1993) These Would Be His Attributes

He'd Be The Perfect Player Since He Can Knock Down Both 2 Pointers And 3 Pointers With His 6"10 Frame
after playing the PS1 and snes versions today. The PS1 is the lesser of the 3. the PS1 version looks nice and all but the utter lack of the awesome animation frames really makes it lose the flash of the arcade version. still solid but the snes port has more frames of animation I think. and this this port is just insane. I didn't know the N64 was capable of graphics like this. Then again Rakuga kids exists with its amazing animation. The n64 could really make sharp sprites but hell it could contain a lot of them
Never really played it but it looks as fun as any NBA Jam.
Though it appears EA's new NBA Jam games didn't do as well as anticipated since they aren't doing yearly renditions of the franchise. Which is kind of a bummer because I really enjoyed the new NBA Jam.
Just picked this up for 4.50 the other day at a local flea market cannot wait to introduce the kids to it!
Best basketball game ever.
Hey Glenn for Shits and giggles i watched the PS1 version to see how it is Why is the PS1 more brightly lit and colors more vibrant?
Shouldnt N64 have the better colors and framerate? Im still choosing this version but its a little odd the game is darker on a more graphically powerful console
It’s strange because sometimes even though the games the same they can be different. Could be as simple as the game itself or even the person that captured the footage
@@n64glennplant ahh i see. im sure it will look good on my tv when i get this and the sequel. Im curious is nba jam 2000 on the to do list? that game is ehhh. i hate the Sim mode and the JAm mode is ok at best. but wasnt really over the top like it should be , Acclaim didnt get it back then it wasnt the realism we liked it was the fun over the top gaming style we loved
I bought Hangtime shortly after released in a used game store while on vacation. I had recently bought my N64, and I think I paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $35 for the game, that was a bargain for a N64 game in the late 90s.
Hi Glenn, when will the vigilante 8 review be up?
Hopefully you get to (NBA show time, NBA on NBC) I new this was different than what I played on N64....
This game cost me twenty bucks NZ and it's a blast! Underrated gem. "Yama Yama ding dong!
whats the deal whit frame rate on the 64 for u ? i have not notice any slow down aside from destruction derby 64 4 players wen a lot of crashing on the same time aside from that the games run fine for me, maybe it only happens on pal region games or pal n64 i guess
My favorite NBA game of all time. I'll take this over 2K23; no microtransactions here just a good game & fun times.
Only downside is dated roster (even before Kobe), but you have Dennis Rodman & his different colored 'fros
boom shakalaka inclued?
retrovideogamejunkie of course :)
i use to have nba hangtime and n64 96 til 2005 sad face, but recent just bought hang time again, just need to get n64 console im be back in the game
Love this game! More now then ever. Fun, exciting and very amusing. The sound is so bad! Everything else is just plain fun
Think, NBA Hangtime is the best "2D NBA JAM" version outside.
Showtimes a shout too
I am not a basketball fan, but this game looks like arcade fun!
I laughed when you said did you find it in the bargain bin. I remember it was $80 USD when it first came out (pretty normal when the n64 first came out)
This looks awesomely chaotic.
This is my favorite sports game
It’s a very fun one
NBA HangTime >>> NBA Jam
I don't like basketball but I love the NBA jam games..
I played it on the Super Nintendo. I bought it new for 10 dollars. It was some time around the release of the Dreamcast. I sold all my snes stuff before becoming a game collector years later and now wish I had this complete in the box again
By far the most hours i've ever put into a video game was this one, and it really wasn't spectacular it was just addictive
it was like crack for kids back in the day! lol
My cousin and I have played the crap out of this and still do.
This game brought out my Dick Vitale impersonation. "Rama lama jamma baby!" Great review as always GP.
Consoles of 2014 needthis now more than ever and tney dont even know it
never really messed w this but looks lioe i should
Hang time had the best intro song ever 😂
Do you have a hardware pushing games video?
Not yet but that’s perhaps one for the future
Boomshakalaka! I love NBA games
great aren't they, especially from this era
always was the Werewolf, Nickname Mad Dog, 3pts maxed, height maxed. Never not fun.
Haha teen wolf!!!! 🐺
This is the only basketball game Ive ever bought, twice.
1 time u dunkt from the half court and only my feet where visible on the screen
Such a classic
I loved this game so much, ‘‘twas my favorite .
NBA Jam games are always kinda fun but really if i want to play basketball i usually play real life backyard basketball. o_ö
didn't mention about team fire when your teammate gets on fire
With the rainbow!!!
Hangtime vs. Showtime?
I remember playing this game at my cousin's house, who also had an N64 but he was more inclined to sports games while I prefered action/adventure games. Still, we played the living fuck out of this when we were about 6 or 7.
Look dope classic
Amen!
The only thing missing was MJ
Yeah his fee was way too high given how famous he was back the
If your down 10, you’ll make whatever shot you take anywhere on the court. This whole series is pointless.
