Tecmo Super NBA Basketball
From Hoopedia
Tecmo Super NBA Basketball is a basketball video game published by Tecmo for the Super NES. It also came out a year later (with updated rosters) for the Sega Genesis. It was released in the United States in March 1993. The teams consist of NBA teams from 1992. Players can choose from exhibition games, the 1992 All-Star Game, or the 1993 season. In playing the season, players can choose which teams they want to control, for example, a player can choose to play as two teams, and will play every game those two teams play.

Trivia
- It's one of the few games of its time to include Michael Jordan. Jordan rarely appeared in video games since he was not a part of the players association (so he could cash in on companies using his image). However, Tecmo didn't get word and included him in early versions.
- Miami Heat guard Jon Sundvold, who retired in 1992 after suffering from an injury, is the game's best three-point shooter. He was 1 for 1 in three-point field goals before retiring and has a high shooting range bar (60% or so) from being a career sharpshooter. In this game, if Jon gets across half court he can sink just about any three-point shot with amazing levels of success.
- Pete Chilcutt and John Starks had their free throw percentages interchanged with their three-point percentages resulting in an abnormal amount of made three pointers and missed free throws.
- Traditional shooters Like Larry Bird and John Stockton can also shoot exceptionally well.
