NBA Jam made its first appearance back in 1993 by Midway Games as a classic arcade game and was the first in a series of titles for the league. This year marks its 30th anniversary and to celebrate, Arcade1Up recreates the arcade game and turns it into a unique cabinet that can be set up in the comfort of fan's homes.
The new edition features two different NBA Jam consoles. It kicks off with the NBA Jam 30th Anniversary Deluxe cabinet, which is intricately crafted. It is 5 feet tall and has a colorful 17-inch screen and dual speakers along with a control panel to host up to four players. The NBA Jam Partycade follows as a smaller and more portable version to hand on a wall or door.
