zombiecraig Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I know that must sound ridiculous, but I am looking for one. It can be just the cartridge as long as it's in decent shape. The catch is, I'm looking for one with Charles Barkley on the Phoenix Suns. This was part of the initial run. I had it at one time but then traded it in for some other stuff back in the day. The roster was changed later on and Barkley was removed, probably due to his association with Accolade and the Barkley: Shut Up and Jam! games. I'd be willing to slip someone a few bucks, or the later version of the cart in exchange for a NBA Jam with him in it. He was always one of my favorites.

Trade-N-Games Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 How can you tell? From the cover art or cart art or do you have to play the game? I have over 50 of them around my store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I have a spare for the Genny here..but I don't know which run it is...I will check and let you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiecraig Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 You can't tell from the cover art, as far as I know. It's just an early run version of the original NBA Jam, not NBA Jam T.E. The early run versions have Barkley and Kevin Johnson on the Suns, while later run cartridges have Kevin Johnson and Dan Majerle. My later run cart does have a small white area in the label that says 1993 Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. among other manufacturing and licensing info. Maybe the earlier version has a slightly earlier date? I have no idea. The only way I know for sure is if you check the game itself...

zombiecraig Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Right, but not all copies of the original NBA Jam have Barkley. I know NBA Jam T.E. does not, but not all of the original ones do either. Trust me. I have a copy of NBA Jam (not T.E.) and it doesn't have Barkley. That's what I'm looking for: an original NBA Jam that has Charles Barkley on the Suns. It would be great if you guys could check your copies and see if he's in the game.

gameman-15 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 I just checked and I have the one with Barkley and Jhonson on the Peonix Suns. So how much are you willing to offer for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z28in82 Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 We ran our 2 copies on one of our nomads and found that they both have "Sir Charles" on the suns so if you still need one let us know as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiecraig Posted November 21, 2004 Author Share Posted November 21, 2004 I sent you both PMs. Let me know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Are you sure that T.E does not have Barkley? I swear that I played NBA Jam:TE back in 1995 and it DID have Barkley in it. Though the game I played nearly 10 years ago is not the same as the copy I have nowadays and I haven't played the copy I have now for while.

zombiecraig Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 No, I really don't think Barkley is in NBA Jam T.E. Unless, maybe he was in the original arcade run, before any revisions were made. But I don't believe so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
