Undefeated in NBA Jam on the Sega Genesis
By jessej07 1 Comments
One Thursday night after dinner, Chinese food from China Wok (aw hell yes!), I turned on NBA Jam to get a game or two in. I put in my intials JCJ and was greeted with the record of 103 - 1. This was insanity, what could have possibly happened? I won every game, I always made sure of it. My record, last I checked was 102 - 0, and I won the last game I played. It is at this point, while I'm gaping at the screen in despair that my step-mother walks by and says "oh I tried that game of yours, the basketball one, it's pretty difficult!" BANG, FLASH, BOOM, light bulb goes off. My step-mother has the same exact initials as me, and not knowing any better was honest with the game and put her initials in at the beginning.
As the light bulb dimmed upon my realisation and run through of the events I looked from the TV displaying my no longer perfect record, to my step-mother, and finally to the Sega Genesis power switch, which I promptly switched off after my 13 year old mouth exasperated "well, fuck this."
