This post focuses on the days of the SNES and Genisis with some popular NBA stars getting their own adventure game. Enjoy and reminisce.

Who could forget this instant hit? Michael Jordan rescues his fellow teammates in the "windy city" with fire and ice basketballs. Sadly, it was ranked one of the top ten worst games by Nintendo Power magazine. Sorry, guess it wasn't an instant hit.

Now Shaq needed his own game and apparently his own kung fu name. Shaq wanders inside a kung-fu dojo on his way to a basketball game and stumbles in an alternate dimension. From there he travels to rescue a boy named Nezu. Sadly this game was ranked one of the worst games because of the bad hit detection with your punches and kicks and how they would interact with the enemies; not registering a "hit" when clearly you were on screen.

Finally, a somewhat decent game because Charles Barkley actually made a basketball game, not a fighting game. It was similar to NBA Jam but this included Charles Barkley and other random players playing some bball on the back streets.

Sadly, we haven't seen any sequels to these games or remakes. Now it's all about making the cover on the box of the newest year of NBA game or Madden. I still have a place in my heart for throwing fire basketballs at enemies.
