This is a particularly interesting section of the game, which references events in
U.S. politics, including the mayor's 'wide stance' in the bathroom as a nod to
Senator Larry Craig, and a variety of other small touches that made me laugh.

NOTES TO
CHAPTER 6
1.

NBA JAM

Sports games are generally broken into categories of simulation style and
arcade style. Simulation-style games seek to replicate what is found in the
ol ine version of the sport, while arcade-style games are caricatures of the
sport. In
NBA JAM
players have gigantic heads, can catch fi re when success-
ful, and routinely perform ridiculous dunks.
