JUL 18 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Power Ups Powerups are done at "Tonight's Matchup" unless otherwise noted. Extended Roster - At the TEAM SELECTION SCREEN, spin joystick counter- clockwise three times, then press and release the Steal button. On some teams, this will give you the choice of an extra player on their roster. Team Swap - At the HALFTIME SUBSTITUTION SCREEN, hold joystick to the right and hold pass until the box "Team Swap Enabled" appears. This allows you to switch teams to any one of all 27 teams. Use turbo to swap your players, and use pass to move your selection to the next team on the list. Confirm your selection with shoot. Tournament Mode - Hold Joystick right and hold down all three buttons. Tournament mode turns off all powerups, secret characters, abilities and prevents substitutions or team swaps. Shot Percentage - Rotate Joystick and hit all three buttons seven times. This turns on the Tournament Mode but brings up the percentage as before. Small Head - Hold Joystick Southeast (Down and Right) and hit all three buttons three times in this order: t-urbo, s-hoot, p-ass, t, s, p, t, s, p. Big Head - Hold Joystick up and hold down all three buttons. Huge Head - Tap Shoot five times, then hold Turbo, Pass and the Joystick up. Quick Hands - Hold Joystick down. Hit shoot eight times, holding it down on the eighth time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What's so new about Tournament Edition? Newer graphics, Extended rosters that cover 25% of the NBA, more special guests, new power-ups, new recruits from the NBA, and a special thank you screen dedicated to us on the Internet! YAH! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Anything else? Well, the Tank Game is not in Tournament Edition. There is something better. MUCH better. More on that later. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- History: Version 1.01 - Compilation of postings of rec.games.video.arcade. This article to be posted twice a week, plus or minus, depending on the demand. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to: Jerry Cattrell, Hal Wayne Black, Conrad Hart, Thomas Kunka, Carl Chavez and many more who have been posting all this information. Mark Turmell for putting Tournament Edition together for us, and taking our ideas from laserprints I made of the postings here. Ed Boon, even though he talks in riddles. ;) Your ad here! Contact Randolph Vance at (606)277-6040 between 5pm and Midnight for more information. LOW RATES! The Kentucky Arcade for getting both NBA JAM machines upgraded to Tournament Edition. With four Mortal Kombat II's, two Mortal Kombat's, two NBA JAM: TE's, three Super Street Fighter II's and two Neo-Geo's, I still say the place should be re-named "Noah's Arcade". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Randolph S.
