<h2>Overview</h2><p>NBA Hangtime (also known as <em>NBA Hang Time</em>) is a <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/belt-scrolling/3015-8588/" data-ref-id="3015-8588">belt-scrolling</a> <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/basketball/3015-3505/" data-ref-id="3015-3505">basketball</a> game developed and released by <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/midway-games/3010-185/" data-ref-id="3010-185">Midway</a> for <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/arcade/3045-84/" data-ref-id="3045-84">arcades</a> in April 1996.</p><p>A sequel to the 1993 game <a href="/nba-jam/3030-16928/" data-ref-id="3030-16928">NBA Jam</a> (and its 1994 <a href="/nba-jam-tournament-edition/3030-14792/" data-ref-id="3030-14792">Tournament Edition</a> update), NBA Hangtime features an updated <a href="/national-basketball-association/3015-2609/" data-ref-id="3015-2609">NBA</a> roster for the 1995-96 season (now with each team having a five-man roster to choose from), new player abilities (such as spin moves, fadeaway shots, alley-oops, "double-dunks", and the "Team Fire" buff), an updated <a href="/cheat-code/3015-237/" data-ref-id="3015-237">cheat code</a> system (similar to Kombat Kodes from <a href="/mortal-kombat-3/3030-1434/" data-ref-id="3030-1434">Mortal Kombat 3</a>), an updated persistent profile system (using longer names and four-digit PINs), and overhauled higher-quality graphics and audio (with <a href="/chicago-bulls/3015-5230/" data-ref-id="3015-5230">Chicago Bulls</a> announcer <a href="/neil-funk/3040-68726/" data-ref-id="3040-68726">Neil Funk</a> doing the voice commentary).</p><p>The game also features the "Create Player" system, in which players forego using their credit to play the game to instead <a href="/customizable-character/3015-155/" data-ref-id="3015-155">create and update their own custom basketball player</a> for their persistent profile. Along with a custom name, uniform color, wacky head, and a "nickname" for the announcer, players can distribute their attributes from a limited point pool (which gets larger the more that player wins).</p><p>The game later received ports for the <a href="/super-nintendo-entertainment-system/3045-9/" data-ref-id="3045-9">Super Nintendo Entertainment System</a> and <a href="/genesis/3045-6/" data-ref-id="3045-6">Sega Genesis</a> on November 1996, both ported by <a href="/funcom-productions-as/3010-575/" data-ref-id="3010-575">Funcom</a> and published by Midway themselves (rather than <a href="/acclaim-games/3010-6257/" data-ref-id="3010-6257">Acclaim</a>, who previously published ports of <a href="/nba-jam/3025-1009/" data-ref-id="3025-1009">NBA Jam</a>). It was later ported by Midway Studios San Diego and Director's Cut International to the <a href="/playstation/3045-22/" data-ref-id="3045-22">Sony PlayStation</a>, <a href="/nintendo-64/3045-43/" data-ref-id="3045-43">Nintendo 64</a>, and <a href="/pc/3045-94/" data-ref-id="3045-94">Windows PCs</a> in early 1997.</p><p>Earlier versions of NBA Hangtime (as well as the home versions) included a NBA <a href="/trivia/3015-2810/" data-ref-id="3015-2810">trivia quiz</a> after each game for bragging rights, additional attribute points (home version only), and a chance to win prizes (arcade version only). The game later received an update in November 1996 as <a href="/nba-maximum-hangtime/3030-31670/" data-ref-id="3030-31670">NBA Maximum Hangtime</a>, updating the roster to match the 1996-97 season while adding new secrets and a new "hot spots" system, where each basketball player has a hidden spot on the court where they shoot more accurately. It was later succeeded by <a href="/nba-showtime-nba-on-nbc/3030-4632/" data-ref-id="3030-4632">NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC</a>.</p><h2>Teams &amp;
