+ | '''''Barkley Shut Up and Jam!''''' is a 1994 two-on-two basketball game for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Super NES]] by [[Accolade]]. The Mega Drive version was not released in Japan. | ||
+ | |||
+ | During development, the game was known simply as '''''Charles Barkley Basketball'''''.{{magref|eg92|14|88}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Gameplay== | ||
+ | The game is an arcade-style two-on-two basketball game. The game supports up to four players with the [[Team Player]]. Though very similar to ''[[NBA Jam]]'' in terms of gameplay and controls, the game provides a faster and more aggressive pace by containing less basketball play regulations, emulating the looser and rougher nature of casual, urban basketball. There is no shot clock and no fouls except goaltending. Players can control former NBA MVP [[wikipedia:Charles Barkley|Charles Barkley]] or one of fifteen fictitious basketball players in matches on mostly outdoor courts across eight different cities of the United States. The court location has no effect on gameplay, while each of the playable characters has a unique set of status skills (with Barkley having the best stats overall). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Players are moved around the court with the D-Pad. Players can activate power, allowing the character to move faster, improving the odds of making a shot, and enabling super dunks, by pressing {{C}}. Each player starts with the ability to activate power six times but must earn each use back by stealing (on defense) or making three-point shots (on offense). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Players can play a single match, a series, or a tournament. The single match and series modes can be played by one to four players; players choose a character (along with a teammate when playing with a computer) and a locale. In two-player games, players can play on the same team or against each other. Series are played for the best of 5 or the best of 7 matches. The tournament mode can be played by one or two players (on the same team). Players choose a city to represent, which has two pre-selected characters, and play a series of games against all the other cities. The final game always takes place in Phoenix (which cannot be selected by the players to represent) against Charles Barkley. The game has no save feature and utilizes a password system to keep progress through tournament mode. In all modes, matches can be timed (with quarters of 1, 3, or 5 minutes) or played up to a certain number of points (21 or 50). | ||

History
Legacy
The game was followed by Barkley Shut Up and Jam 2 in 1995, exclusively for the Mega Drive.
In 2008, an indie fan game named Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden was released, jokingly presented as an unofficial sequel to both Barkley Shut Up and Jam! and the movie Space Jam. The game is an RPG that has nothing to do with Barkley Shut Up and Jam! aside from the title and also starring Charles Barkley, and the developers have stated that they have never played the original game.
In 2021, both Barkley Shut Up and Jam! games were re-released for the Evercade retro gaming handheld by Piko Interactive as part of the Piko Interactive Collection 2. Since Piko does not hold the license to use the likeness of Charles Barkley, these versions were renamed to Hoops Shut Up and Jam and Hoops Shut Up and Jam 2, with Charles Barkley replaced by a player named "Joe Hoops."[7]
