''Space Jam'' shares similar gameplay to [[Midway]]'s ''[[NBA Jam]]'' (of which [[Acclaim]] had previously published for home consoles), however is slower paced and features teams of three, rather than two. There are also a number of minigames in-between matches.

''Space Jam'' is a arcade-style basketball game with similar gameplay to [[Midway]]'s ''[[NBA Jam]]'' (which [[Acclaim]] had previously published for home consoles). Players can set the team sizes (3-on-3 or 2-on-2), the length of each quarter (1 to 5 minutes) in the options, and the difficulty of computer-controlled opponents (Easy, Medium, or Hard). There are no fouls besides a shot clock, unless goaltending is enabled. Players can choose to play as the Toon Squad or the Monstars, each having their own roster of characters from which players can choose. Characters have different statistics and their own special dunks.
 +
 
 +
Matches can be played individually, or players can compete in an "Intergalactic Tournament" of five matches (with progress saved to the Saturn's internal memory or to a [[Saturn Backup Memory|backup cartridge]]). The game supports up to six simultaneous players (using the [[6Player]] to support more than two players), who can be assigned to any team, with any unassigned team members being controlled by the computer.
 +
 
 +
Players are moved around the court using the D-Pad. Like ''NBA Jam'', each player can increase his or her running speed by holding {{L}} or {{R}}. This drains the turbo meter, but the meter replenishes when it is not used.
 +
 
 +
After each quarter, players can make substitutions or play minigames (if sub-levels are enabled in the options). Each team can play one of three minigame after the first and third quarters that improve the statistics of team members if won. A different minigame is available at halftime for each team. A minigames is also played before the match begins.

Space Jam (スペースジャム) is a basketball video game based on 1996 film Space Jam, starring Michael Jordan and a cast of Looney Tunes characters. It was released for the Sega Saturn in 1996.

Story

Basketball superstar Michael Jordan is brought out of retirement by the Looney Tunes characters to help them win a basketball match against the mutant Monstars, invading aliens intent on to enslaving them as amusement park attractions.

Gameplay

Space Jam is a arcade-style basketball game with similar gameplay to Midway's NBA Jam (which Acclaim had previously published for home consoles). Players can set the team sizes (3-on-3 or 2-on-2), the length of each quarter (1 to 5 minutes) in the options, and the difficulty of computer-controlled opponents (Easy, Medium, or Hard). There are no fouls besides a shot clock, unless goaltending is enabled. Players can choose to play as the Toon Squad or the Monstars, each having their own roster of characters from which players can choose. Characters have different statistics and their own special dunks.

Matches can be played individually, or players can compete in an "Intergalactic Tournament" of five matches (with progress saved to the Saturn's internal memory or to a backup cartridge). The game supports up to six simultaneous players (using the 6Player to support more than two players), who can be assigned to any team, with any unassigned team members being controlled by the computer.

Players are moved around the court using the D-Pad. Like NBA Jam, each player can increase his or her running speed by holding L or R. This drains the turbo meter, but the meter replenishes when it is not used.

After each quarter, players can make substitutions or play minigames (if sub-levels are enabled in the options). Each team can play one of three minigame after the first and third quarters that improve the statistics of team members if won. A different minigame is available at halftime for each team. A minigames is also played before the match begins.

Tip-Off
Each game starts with a tip-off, where a player from each team leaps with C for possession of the ball. Possession of the ball goes to the Toon Squad at the beginning of the second and fourth quarters and to the Monstars at the beginning of the third quarter, regardless of who wins the tip-off or who had possession of the ball at the end of the last quarter.
