Gameplay

ESPN NBA HangTime '95 includes all 27 NBA teams which are represented by their top three players at the time as well as 12 International country teams represented by fictional athletes.[1] Players choose a team and play 2-on-2 basketball matches in exhibition or season modes. Hangtime's gameplay has been compared to NBA Jam's, and features arcade-style moves like super spins and dunks.[2] Hangtime also features full-motion video segments of ESPN's Dan Patrick and Stuart Scott covering the matches.[1]

Reception

The game was received poorly and multiple reviews compared it negatively to NBA Jam.[3][2][4] Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it one star out of five, and was very critical of the game, even advising not to "put other games near this one, it could be contagious."[5]
