Anyone interested in building an arcade cabinet? The board to run the game is only $75.00 (cheap from old arcade standards).

This game was never the best game ever. It was fun though, but at no point in the history of this game's existence would I call it the best ever.

How about other Konami titles? I actually loved "NBA Give & Go" on SNES back in the day, but my personal favorite was NBA In The Zone 2 for PSX. To this day, it's one of the most fun and underrated basketball titles in history.

I dusted off ITZ2 a few days back since I've been on a slight retro gaming addiction, and while the graphics and animations aren't all that impressive anymore, the sheer amount of fun, depth and ahead-of-its-time features are pretty much amazing.

But one of its most unheralded (and unintentionally funny) features was the fact you could watch the national anthems before every game! Haven't seen this feature before or since:

Probably going to play a full season in ITZ2 when I have a chance.

Agree - very good game.

I only played the first In the Zone on the N64. It had Glen Rice on the cover.

I don't think National Anthems were in the N64 version?

I loved this one, too! My favorite arcade sports games as a kid had huge sprites like this one and WWF WrestleFest, both still favorites and fun to play today. Unfortunately, the only home port we ever got was NBA Give n' Go on the SNES. It was still ok but lacked the same charm due to the smaller player models.

Wow, Run and gun TWO? I absolutely love the first one. I really didn't live the second one. Maybe I'll give it another try. I feel like I try it ever 5 years and inevitably I go back to the original
