NBA Jam Extreme NBA Jam Extreme is a 1996 basketball arcade game by Acclaim Entertainment based on the 1996–97 NBA season. After Midway Games released two "NBA Jam" games, Acclaim, the publisher of the home versions of "NBA Jam", ended up winning the exclusive rights to use the "Jam" name. "NBA Jam Extreme" was the first "Jam" game from Acclaim, as well as the first edition of the game to use 3D graphics. In contrast, Midway's competing NBA game "NBA Hangtime" featured 2-D visuals similar to the previous "Jam" games. "Extreme" also features longtime sports broadcaster Marv Albert doing commentary instead of original commentator Tim Kitzrow. New to the game is the "Extreme" button, essentially a super version of the series' trademark "Turbo" button.
