Welcome to RetroHoops.net, your source for old school basketball video games. Our goal here is simple, to fulfill your need for nostalgia on the classics in this corner of the gaming world, yet allow room for--and encourage--modernized and remade versions of them. That way, you can either reminisce  on the "good old days" or the "simpler times" in this corner of the video game world, or enjoy a new twist on it with updated rosters and/or other features. Heck, get inspired and use some tools here to create your own because I know I will!

In any event, come join the community and contribute to the cause. Just remember, ball is life around here!

Thanks to wonderful work of @eskayelle, we also have NBA Jam T.E. - Double Z Mod available for download 💾. If you haven't been following this project, here's a quick briefing:

An all “new” Double Z Mod in all its 32-bit glory is here!

Leveraging assets from recently released arcade source, as well as with some customized heads, portraits and/or sounds from ponlork and resurrecta, plus additional assets and guidance from Mattrizzle, the PlayStation version of the NBA Jam T.E. – Double Z Mod brings players the following features:

• Battle from worst to first in campaign mode, with standings loosely based on the 1992-93 NBA season.
• Players like Shaq, Jordan, Magic and Barkley have been restored!
• Secret players like Sub-Zero, Reptile, Scorpion, and Bart Simpson, are all accessible.  Even Smoke and Noob Saibot are in this game!!!
• Wanna play as Chris Webber?  Hakeem Olajuwon?  Scottie Pippen?  Just like the arcade version, several 90s superstars are available both on teams and as secret players.
• Detroit Bad Boys Laimbeer, Thomas, and Rodman are all available as secret players.
• The 72-10 Chicago Bulls are here!  Jam with Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc and…  Longley…
• Think the AI plays a bit too rough?  Why not fight back with a super cheat.  Use the code Right, Right, Left, Right, X, X, Right at the Tonight’s Match-Up screen to achieve true Maximum Offense and Defense.  Fight back with everything but fire!
• The Rookies have been rebalanced with more Eddie Jones and Tony Dumas.  Plus, Brooks Thompson has been restored.
• What other Superstars do you need when you have the Dream Team???  Beat the game in campaign mode to access the 1992 Olympic gold medalists.
• Not a fan of the watered down house rock?  Enjoy some ‘80s and ‘90s jams as well as some classic 16-bit Jam tunes instead.
• A quick palette fix adjusts the attribute colors on the player select screen.

Ready for the next generation of the Double Z Mod?  Step up and Razzle Dazzle!

For the rest of the summer 2021, we're allowing any guests to download any game files!

This will generate some more interest in the site from onlookers, and perhaps get more people registered and chatting on these boards, son!

In the meantime, please enjoy, get the word out, and if all goes well, this might become permanent. Let's see how it plays out first.

This is quick teaser for my next romhack.  I'm hoping to release it in September.

I've currently got rosters updated through June 15th, minimum 5-man rosters (current players!), when expanded, for every team, and some other nuggets, thanks to the Mattrizzle Player Engine.

Take a look at the screenshots for a sneak peak!

I know we're a little late posting this, but we do want to congratulate the 2021 NBA Champions, the Milwaukee Bucks. It's their 2nd championship overall, after one of the longest championship droughts in the game. To be fair, although I didn't initially pick 'em, I was continually cheering for 'em.

I'm very happy for Giannis "The Greek Freak" Antetokounmpo, but especially for Khris "Khash Money" Middleton. I think the latter needs a new nickname--Khris, The Closer!
