WHAT I'VE POSTED ABOUT IT ON X
Impossible matchups No. 6
Mortal Kombat (Genesis) vs. NBA Jam (SNES)
Both of these came out of the arcade with a catchphrase that everybody with a pulse could remember, whether it was a fatality or a guy catching fire from downtown.
Which one was the better 16 bit game?
2. NBA Jam (SNES)
"Boomshakalaka" left the video game and entered the English language.
That is the rarest thing on this list by a mile. People who have never held a controller say "he's on fire."
Broadcasters say it on live TV. It escaped the medium completely.
Midway built it. Acclaim put it in ten million houses.
