Slam 'N Jam '95 is a basketball game similar in style to the arcade game Run & Gun and NBA Jam, with a five-on-five team game in a 3-D style perspective. The gameplay is geared towards more of an arcade feel rather than simulation and does not feature any NBA license but resembles actual teams and is modeled after top players of the time.
The game also features various modes, including Exhibition , Playoffs and Season , as well as the ability to play against friends. In-game commentary is provided by Van Earl Wright, a CNN sportscaster.

How to Play
The Hook Up
Set up your 3DO Interactive Multiplayer following the steps in the owner's manual. Plug your controller into the Control Port.
Press the POWER SWITCH to turn the unit ON. Press the OPEN/CLOSE Button to open the CD Drawer. Place the Slam 'N Jam '95 CD in the drawer, label side up, and press the button again to close it. Strap it on and play hard.
The Voice
The clock is ticking with less than 30 seconds left. The game is close, and a jumper, layup, or dunk could tie it, while a three-pointer might win it.
From the inbound, the defense is tight. Upon receiving the pass, you are immediately double-teamed. Pull up your dribble to shake off defenders breathing down your neck, then look for an opening to fling a cross-court pass.
Even a good pass can be a floater resulting in an elbow, a shove, or a stolen ball. The ball handler drives like a runaway train toward the basket, suddenly facing a three-on-one fast break. It is just you, them, and the basket.
Game Choices/Options
Press the D-Pad UP/DOWN to highlight game choices, then press PLAY to select. Use the D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT to highlight additional selection options, and UP/DOWN to continue selecting.
Highlight MAIN MENU and press PLAY to exit, or highlight CONTINUE and press PLAY to confirm current selections.
The Main Menu has these seven options:
•
EXHIBITION GAME: Single exhibition match between two teams that does not affect season or playoff standings.
•
•
•
NEW PLAYOFF: Pick a team and play until you are either knocked out or take home the championship.
•
CONTINUE PLAYOFF: Play the next game in the current playoff.
•
STATISTICS: View current season standings and statistics, saved after every season or playoff game.
•
OPTIONS: Change options for the next game.
Exhibition Game
This is a single exhibition match before the new season, playing your team against any opponent as a warm-up. From the MAIN MENU, press the D-Pad UP or DOWN to highlight EXHIBITION GAME, then press PLAY.
Team Selection involves highlighting the home or away team with the D-Pad UP or DOWN. Choose a team using the D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT, or by pressing the A Button.
Press the B Button to switch conferences and the C Button to switch divisions. When satisfied with your selection, press the D-Pad UP or DOWN to move to the next option.
Player Mode allows you to designate the desired mode of play using the D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT. SNJ '95 can be played with one or two players in either MANUAL PLAY or FRANCHISE player mode.
Quarter Length is selected by highlighting QUARTER and pressing the D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT to choose a length of 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 minutes.
When selections are complete, highlight CONTINUE and press PLAY to compare the starting lineups. The Scouting Report Screen shows Home and Away team starters, height (HGT), shooting percentages (SHOOTS), court speed (SPD), ball handling (BH), defensive rating (DEF), and overall league ranking.
Press PLAY to exit the scouting screen. You can also substitute players by highlighting STARTERS and pressing PLAY to access the substitution screen. To start the game, highlight CONTINUE and press PLAY.
Note: The Home team always wears white uniforms and starts the game protecting the near court.
New Season
Allows you to set up a new basketball season. The season calendar and all player stats are saved after each game.
To start, highlight NEW SEASON from the MAIN MENU and press PLAY. Highlight SEASON and press the D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT to select the season length:
•
Full Season: 82 games
•
Each Team Twice: 52 games
•
Each Team Once: 26 games
•
Half the Teams: 12 or 13 games
Team Selection, Player Mode, Quarter Length, CONTINUE, and Scouting Report follow the same procedures as the EXHIBITION GAME.
Continue Season
This option allows you to continue a saved season. From the MAIN MENU, highlight CONTINUE SEASON and press PLAY.
SIMULATE lets you simulate a game without playing it. Highlight SIMULATE and press the D-Pad LEFT or RIGHT to turn it ON or OFF.
Your next opponent is highlighted on the season calendar. Highlight CONTINUE and press PLAY to advance to your next scheduled opponent. Highlight CONTROLS and press PLAY to select between a human or computer opponent.

•
•
Player Mode: Same as EXHIBITION GAME.
•

Tips & Maps
Tap C Button

Use A Button
Use A Button to shake off defenders. Tap the A Button while standing still to shove opponents to the floor, allowing you the open shot.
Set a Pick
On offense, use your fastest player and press the Right shift Button to set a pick and move around your teammate to lose opponent. Hit the jump shot or drive to the basket.
Alley-oop
An alley-oop will occur when the ball is passed to a wide open player who is close or on his way to the basket.
Isolation
On offense press the Left shift Button to clear teammates from the lane and go one-on-one against your defender.
On defense
On defense use your center to control the paint. Protect against easy drives to the hoop by blocking shots and moving bodies.
General Strategy
Try not to take shots when you are tightly-guarded. Find the open men, use all your resources, take advantage of fast-break opportunities, and move the ball around the perimeter to develop open shots.
