The Reasonable Things.....

Returns for Part 2...

this week Reasonable thing....

NBA JAM!!
















The Single Greatest Video Game EVER!!!! (IMO)

This game was great for a young loner kid who was (and still) is obsessed with the game of Basketball. This game was released in 1993-94 by Accliam, and sold MILLIONS of copies. This and Mortal Kombat (a future Reasonable Thing Candidate) were the craze of every kid when they dropped in stores (that and Power Rangers of which i hated)....my mohter would literally drag me away from the T.V when i was "done"....i.e when she sick of me playing the fucking game.


I literally spent whole days parked in front of the T.V playing this game regliously. I just wanted to crush my foes....computer, my basketball team chums (Camberwarra Cats, baby!!!), my brother, rellies, they all went down to this obsessed ultra-competitive child (who now has been diagnosed with white-line fever). I was quite good at the game....i'd wanna have been too....i played it enough.

I still remember completing the game and beating the Chicago Bulls (the boss team minus Micheal Jordan).... I ran around the house like I'd won Olympic Gold....It was a very happy day for this 1o yr old. I had never won anything....EVER!


After that day.....i didn't play it that much except when "the team" dropped over, then we'd whip it out and play the game with all the secret characters and such which you earned by winning the game.

This was a fantastic game....and hey it kept me out of trouble and kerbed me beating up my brother (who now towers over me) for a good 3 months.....then a game callled NBA Live 95 came along which stole my attention and remained that way for next year or so.

But there are great "memories" involved in this game......god damn i missed being 10.
