1Power-Up TurboAt the Tonight's Match-Up Screen, press any button five (5) times and press and hold A, B, and C buttons until tip off.
2Power-Up FireTo be "On Fire" for the entire game, wait until the "Tonight's Match-up" screen appears, then hit any button seven times. Then, press and hold B, C and UP until the tipoff.
3Juice ModeThis is called the "juice" game, where everything gets sped up. To toggle on/off at tonight's matchup screen, press A 13 times, and then hold B and C until the court appears.
4Power-Up DunksAt the Tonight's Match-Up Screen rotate the control pad clockwise. While doing this press any button 13 times. On the 13th time hold the button while continuing to rotate the D pad in a clockwise motion until tip off occurs. (Hard Trick To Master!!)
5Power-Up InterceptionSteal the easy way with this code, especially if your team has speed or defense problems. Wait until the "Tonight's Match-up" screen appears, then hit any button 15 times while rotating the directional pad clockwise. On the fifteenth tap, hold the button until the tipoff.
6Shot PrecentageThis code rates the likelihood that you'll make a shot, excluding dunks.

To get this display, press any button once at the "Tonight's Match-up" screen, then press and hold A, B and DOWN until the tipoff.
7Power-Up DefenceFor a better defense, wait for the "Tonight's Match-up" screen to appear, then press any button five times. On the fifth tap, press and hold the button until the tipoff.

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             NBA Jam series (3 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Sculptured Software/Midway/Acclaim
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Sports (basketball)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          The arcade basketball sim that has since become the stuff
                  of legend.  Hardware was somewhat limited when this game
                  was being developed, so the programmers opted to reduce
                  the number of players in order to allow up to four people
                  to play the game at the same time without having to worry
                  about what any computer-controlled players were doing.
                  A wise move, in retrospect, as this was quite popular in
                  its day and spawned a number of sequels and ports.  The
                  chief programmer was one Steve Snake, better known
                  nowdays as the author of the KGen G/MD emulator and the
                  brains behind the classic Sega game collection known as
                  the Sega Smash Pack.

IMPRESSIONS:      Two-on-two basketball, without having to worry about
                  things like fouls and the laws of gravity.  Seriously,
                  though, the pure action approach can be appealing even
                  if you're not a basketball fan.  Up to four players
                  supported. (Rage Games)

VARIATIONS:       NBA Jam (1993, the original and rather limited port of
                    the arcade game, and the only one that includes
                    legendary NBA player Michael Jordan)
                  NBA Jam - Tournament Edition (1994, has bigger team
                    rosters, more hidden characters, and court hotspots)
                  College Slam (1996, a somewhat enhanced version of NBA
                    JAM TE featuring top college teams - the best in the
                    series, according to original programmer Steve Snake)

                  This game was ported to almost every major home console
                  in production during the late 1990s.  It is Steve Snake's
                  considered opinion that the 32X port is the best, and
                  that the Sega CD port is among the worst.  See separate
                  entries in the respective sections for more detais.

Ok here was a game that came a day late and a dollar short!...if It would have been released along side one of the big brothers then, possibly, just maybe someone would have taken the time to sit down and play this one! They also had a code to turn yourself into a tornado!

it was fairly simple although i cannot remember the exact method it was while the game was running you had to have possession of the ball and make (I think) 3 clockwise circles with your d-pad then presto tornado alley!!!

seems to be a more ugly game that was made from the scraps of nba jam, in short its just a de-graded version overall but if you like college teams then am sure it will entertain.

5/10 not very hot and only a u.s release

Nearly perfect port (as close as Genesis gets) the one thing that I wish were done on this version was the Scaling the size of the player up and down like the arcade (32x does this efficently)

here is a code!
Hidden players:

Enter one of the following initials and hold Start

while the third initial is highlighted. While holding Start,

press the indicated button. The corresponding player will appear

on the team selection screen on any team selected.

Player Initials Button
Scruff ROD B

another great further improvement on the orginal, more extreme dunks and moves and gameplay also nice menu system too.
but if you have a 32x buy the 32x version even closer to the arcade port with its scaling and sound and graphics and just a bigger feeling

9/10 great game well worth hours of your life :D

Back in the days of Genesis VS SNES, NBA JAM came out on both systems at about the same time. The game was pratically the same on both systems (well, there are some color and sound differences), but one major difference was the saving method. On the SNES, they opted to use a pain-in-the-butt password system where the Genesis had battery backup. Because of this, I remember reading posts on newsgroups saying they had chosen the Genesis version.

Brilliant game, good fun, if you have the TE version and a multitap it is brilliant for all 4 players at the same time.

This is a SUPER fun game for multiplayer. Not only that, but one of the men I respect most (Mr. King Snkae) is actually IN the game.

How to get Mr. Snake (Take directly from The Dump)

Answer YES when asked if you want to enter your initials for record keeping, from there:
1. Move the cursor over the G, then hold Start and press the A button.
2. Move the cursor to the O, hold Start and press C.
3. Finally, move the cursor to the F, hold Start and press B.
