ESPN NBA Hangtime '95 is a basketball game for the Sega Mega-CD. It was only released in North America.
The game makes use of the Mega-CD's sprite scaling and rotation capabilities to simulate 3D gameplay. It has a hip-hop soundtrack and features full-motion video segments of ESPN sportscasters Dan Patrick and Stuart Scott covering the matches.

Gameplay
The game is a fast-paced two-on-two basketball game, similar to NBA Jam but using a 3D perspective and a half-court with one basket. The goal is to get more baskets than the other team, with baskets from within the key counting for two points and baskets from outside the key counting for three points. Each game is four quarters long, with each quarter lasting 2, 5, or 12 minutes (depending on player preference). The player can choose to play an exhibition match (one game), a full season, or the play-offs (skipping the regular season). The player can also choose the difficulty level of AI opponents (Easy, Medium, or Hard) and who gets the ball after each score (winners or losers).
The game supports up to four players simultaneously with the Team Player. Two players can play on the same team or one human player can play with a computer-controlled teammate (in which case the game automatically switches control to whichever team member has the ball, unless Tag Mode is disabled in the options).
In addition to the NBA Hangtime mode, there is also an ESPN World Tour mode that substitutes the NBA players and arena for 12 international teams with fictional players and courts. These teams have unusual appearances, such as the London team dressing as bobbies and the Tahitian team wearing hula skirts. Each team has two special dunks that can be done with special button combinations.
