NBA Jam Sequel Discovered in Developer's Basement After 20 Years

NBA Jam stands out from the other basketball games for being one of the first NBA licensed games, its realistically drawn players and over-the-top animations. Even its home console versions were as good as in the arcades. There were a lot of requests for an MLB-licensed game with the same treatment as NBA Jam, but it was never thought to happen...until now. Thanks to Frank Cifaldi and the Video Game History Foundation, a near-complete version of "MLB Jam" was found.
