NBA Jam Extreme

Best and Worst Games I own: 1996 Best: Wave Race 64 (Nintendo 64) Worst: NBA Jam Extreme (PlayStation) Super Mario 64 released as a launch title for the N64 and it's the game most people would pick as the best for 1996. I've said multiple times on here where I stand: Mario 64 is an important piece in gaming history. It hasn't aged well. The constant battle with the camera ruins the game. Wave Race on the other hand, this is what a perfect game looks like and one that has infinite replay value, even 30 years after its release. The game physics are really something else for 1996. The water moves differently every time you run a course, so you aren't memorizing turns the way you do in almost every racing game made since. 1996 was deep too. Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal 2, Pilotwings 64, Killer Instinct Gold all came out that year. NBA Jam Extreme wasn't a terrible game, but what Acclaim did with it was a downgrade from the previous entries in the series. Replacing Tim Kitzrow with Marv Albert as the announcer was a terrible move. What are your picks for 1996?
