I'm Gaming Jay: Youtube gamer, let's player, fan of retro games, and determined optimist... Normally I'm working my way through the book 1001 VIDEO GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE in my Let's Play 1001 Games series. This is a great book with a ton of classic retro games but it doesn't have everything and it's even missing some of my favorite video games. Hence, in Saturday Afternoon Gaming, screw it, I'm just going to play whatever I want!
In this series I will be playing some of the best retro games that don't appear in the 1001 VIDEO GAMES YOU MUST PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE book. So pull up a chair, slap on your headphones, and join me as babble aimlessly through some of my most favourite classic games! And hey, if you have ideas or suggestions feel free to leave them in the comments below. I'm always looking for more games to try! Today we play...
Street Slam / Dunk Dream
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Slam
Street Slam[a] is a basketball video game developed by Data East for Neo Geo, released in 1994.[2] The game features three-on-three basketball match-ups with a variety of different teams.
A sequel to the game, known as Dunk Dream '95 in Japan, Hoops '96 in Europe, and simply Hoops in North America, was released in 1995. In 2010, the original game was released for the Wii on the Virtual Console, as well as part of the compilation Data East Arcade Classics. Street Slam was the inspiration for The King of Fighters character Lucky Glauber.
In the US version of the game, players can select a three-player team from a selection of 10 cities in the United States. In the European and Japanese versions of the game, the cities are replaced with countries around the world. The selection screens, player skin colours and costumes also change between the versions.
Each team has a total of 18 points in several characteristics (Dunk, 3pts, Speed, and Defence), and 8pts max for each. Every team has its own strengths and weakness. For example, New York (America in the JP/EU Version) is good in dunks and bad in 3-pointers. On the other hand, Philadelphia (Taiwan in JP/EU version) is good in 3-pointers and bad in dunks.
On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the Neo Geo version of the game a 25 out of 40.[3]
Next Generation reviewed the Neo-Geo version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "Street Hoop is definitely arcade-style action and meant primarily for two players with its quick passing and under-sized court, and it translated well enough to the home system."[4]
Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Blocky simplistic graphics and colorful but cheap-looking backgrounds won't attract gamers to this one, but when you get the chance to play, especially with a couple of friends, you can have some challenging fun."
