'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a [[full-motion video]] game developed and published by [[Digital Pictures]] for the [[Sega Mega-CD]] and [[DOS]] computers. It was also one of the five [[Sega Mega-CD 32X]] games released in North America. It features [[NBA]] player [[wikipedia:Scottie Pippen|Scottie Pippen]], who played small forward for the Chicago Bulls at the time.

''Slam City'' is a one-on-one basketball game, presented from a first-person perspective using [[full-motion video]]. The player plays a newcomer named "Ace" and must face the four toughest players in "Slam City" to earn enough "respect" to play against Scottie Pippen. The game is spread over four discs, with each of the first four opponents on a separate disc. Matches are interjected with video clips of "trash talk" from the opponents or commentary from spectators.
 +
 
 +
Matches consist of multiple video clips of the opponent, and the player must respond appropriately to the opponent's actions, such as defending against attempts to steal the ball or exploiting weaknesses in the opponent's defense to attempt a shot or a slam. Ace appears overlaid on the video. The goal of each match is to earn more points than the opponent, and every basket is worth a single point. By default, the first player to reach seven points wins, though this can be changed.
 +
 
 +
Respect is earned during games by scoring, blocking shots, stealing the ball, rebounding the ball (after a missed shot), or running down the opponent's shot clock. Respect is also gained after beating an opponent, with more respect gained when the score disparity is greater. Conversely, respect is lost when the opponent scores, blocks a shot, steals the ball, rebounds the ball, runs down the Ace's shot clock, or beats Ace. Tougher opponents award more respect. Opponents can be rematched to earn more respect, but the amount of respect earned decreases each time the opponent is played.
 +
 
 +
When on offense, Ace can move with {{left}} or {{right}} to try to get a clear shot around his opponent. The player can adjust the shot strength (shown as a meter next to the video) with {{up}} or {{down}}, which affects the distance that it covers. Ace shoots by holding {{A}} to jump, then releasing {{A}} during the jump. The shot is more likely to go in and earns more respect if timed to release near the apex of the jump. Failing to release the button before landing causes the player to lose respect. Ace can exploit holes in the opponent's defense by moving all the way to the left or right of the screen and pressing {{B}} to break past the opponent and perform a slam dunk. Each opponent has different cues that indicate a break opportunity. Hitting a break opportunity at its "sweet spot" results in a "Super Slam" that awards more respect. However, trying to break past the opponent when there is no opening results in having the ball stolen. There is a ten-second shot clock for the player with possession of the ball.
 +
 
 +
When on defense, Ace can move with {{left}} or {{right}} to stay in front of his the opponent. If Ace leaves an opening, the opponent can run by for an easy shot. Ace can raise his hands to block with {{A}} when the opponent is attempting a shot; after the opponent shoots, Ace can try to reject the shot with {{B}}. When the opponent is trying to break for a dunk, Ace can try to steal the ball with {{C}}.

''Slam City'' is a basketball game, rendered entirely with full motion video. The player has to gain enough "respect" to play against Scottie Pippen. It was a very large game, distributed over four separate discs.
+
When either Ace or the opponent misses a shot, the screen switches to a side view where both opponents have an opportunity for a rebound to gain possession of the ball. In the rebound view, Ace can move with {{left}} or {{right}} and jump for the ball with {{A}}.
 +
 
 +
Enabling Training Mode in the options shows the word "BREAK" on screen to indicate when a slam dunk opportunity is present on offense or an opportunity to steal the ball is present on defense, to help the player learn the vulnerabilities of the opponent. However, respect cannot be gained or lost while Training Mode is enabled. Enabling Buckets Mode in the options lets the offensive player retain possession of the ball after scoring (winners' outs) rather than possession changing to the player on defense (losers' outs). Games can be played to a certain number of points (7, 11, or 21) or timed (3 or 5 minutes). In timed games, the winner is whichever played has the most points when time runs out; if there is a tie, the game goes into "sudden death," where the next player to score wins. The game saves the player's progress and high scores to the console's internal memory.
 +
 
 +
===Opponents===
 +
Opponents can be challenged in any order, except for Scottie Pippen, who can only challenged after accumulating 1,000,000,000 respect points. Each opponent increases in difficulty and respect earned. Matches can be replayed to earn more respect.
 +
 
 +
Fingers is on the first disc, Juice is on the second disc, Mad Dog is on the third disc, and Smash is on the fourth disc. Scottie Pippen is on every disc but must be unlocked first.

Slam City is a one-on-one basketball game, presented from a first-person perspective using full-motion video. The player plays a newcomer named "Ace" and must face the four toughest players in "Slam City" to earn enough "respect" to play against Scottie Pippen. The game is spread over four discs, with each of the first four opponents on a separate disc. Matches are interjected with video clips of "trash talk" from the opponents or commentary from spectators.

Matches consist of multiple video clips of the opponent, and the player must respond appropriately to the opponent's actions, such as defending against attempts to steal the ball or exploiting weaknesses in the opponent's defense to attempt a shot or a slam. Ace appears overlaid on the video. The goal of each match is to earn more points than the opponent, and every basket is worth a single point. By default, the first player to reach seven points wins, though this can be changed.

Respect is earned during games by scoring, blocking shots, stealing the ball, rebounding the ball (after a missed shot), or running down the opponent's shot clock. Respect is also gained after beating an opponent, with more respect gained when the score disparity is greater. Conversely, respect is lost when the opponent scores, blocks a shot, steals the ball, rebounds the ball, runs down the Ace's shot clock, or beats Ace. Tougher opponents award more respect. Opponents can be rematched to earn more respect, but the amount of respect earned decreases each time the opponent is played.

When on offense, Ace can move with Left or Right to try to get a clear shot around his opponent. The player can adjust the shot strength (shown as a meter next to the video) with Up or Down, which affects the distance that it covers. Ace shoots by holding A to jump, then releasing A during the jump. The shot is more likely to go in and earns more respect if timed to release near the apex of the jump. Failing to release the button before landing causes the player to lose respect. Ace can exploit holes in the opponent's defense by moving all the way to the left or right of the screen and pressing B to break past the opponent and perform a slam dunk. Each opponent has different cues that indicate a break opportunity. Hitting a break opportunity at its "sweet spot" results in a "Super Slam" that awards more respect. However, trying to break past the opponent when there is no opening results in having the ball stolen. There is a ten-second shot clock for the player with possession of the ball.

When on defense, Ace can move with Left or Right to stay in front of his the opponent. If Ace leaves an opening, the opponent can run by for an easy shot. Ace can raise his hands to block with A when the opponent is attempting a shot; after the opponent shoots, Ace can try to reject the shot with B. When the opponent is trying to break for a dunk, Ace can try to steal the ball with C.

When either Ace or the opponent misses a shot, the screen switches to a side view where both opponents have an opportunity for a rebound to gain possession of the ball. In the rebound view, Ace can move with Left or Right and jump for the ball with A.

Enabling Training Mode in the options shows the word "BREAK" on screen to indicate when a slam dunk opportunity is present on offense or an opportunity to steal the ball is present on defense, to help the player learn the vulnerabilities of the opponent. However, respect cannot be gained or lost while Training Mode is enabled. Enabling Buckets Mode in the options lets the offensive player retain possession of the ball after scoring (winners' outs) rather than possession changing to the player on defense (losers' outs). Games can be played to a certain number of points (7, 11, or 21) or timed (3 or 5 minutes). In timed games, the winner is whichever played has the most points when time runs out; if there is a tie, the game goes into "sudden death," where the next player to score wins. The game saves the player's progress and high scores to the console's internal memory.

Opponents

Opponents can be challenged in any order, except for Scottie Pippen, who can only challenged after accumulating 1,000,000,000 respect points. Each opponent increases in difficulty and respect earned. Matches can be replayed to earn more respect.

Fingers is on the first disc, Juice is on the second disc, Mad Dog is on the third disc, and Smash is on the fourth disc. Scottie Pippen is on every disc but must be unlocked first.
