NBA Jam Tournament Edition (commonly referred to as NBA Jam T.E.) is a basketball arcade game created by Midway in 1994 as a sequel to the hit game NBA Jam. The game featured rosters from the 1993-94 NBA season. The console versions follow the 1994-95 NBA season, with updated rosters and team logos. Impressively, the entire game was coded in assembly and features more new features and easter eggs combined with the same fun of the original. Console versions were well known for featuring tons of easter eggs; the home versions of Jam T.E. even allowed you to use then-U.S. President Bill Clinton, then-First Lady Hillary Clinton, or then-Vice President Al Gore (and Atari's Vice President of Software Development Leonard Tramiel on the Atari Jaguar version).
