Because Michael Jordan felt his image was so valuable he wouldn’t be in a single basketball game either than Larry Bird vs Michael Jordan 1 on 1 (which was just a shoot out for Larry Bird and Slam dunk competition for Michael Jordan) and wouldn’t be seen in an actual basketball game until NBA Street V.2. Often rated as one of the worst video games of all time (top ten worst list) this was a side scroller in which Michael Jordan would throw fire basketball at people.

Next on the ridiculous list is Michael Jordan’s own video game. Despite this movie being terrible in every way it did amazingly in theater, survives as a cult classic and has one of the greatest musical soundtracks of any movie ever invented. Realizing they’re in trouble they summon Michael Jordan to help them win the game…. The monsters steal the “basketball powers” of popular basketball stars at the time. The Loonie Toons challenge the monsters to a basketball contest, the monsters are finger sized so its seen as an easy win. The premise was that a bunch of tiny monsters wanted to take over the world of Loonie Toons. But it features a tonne of basketball players including Michael Jordan, Patrich Ewing, Charles Barkley, and Shawn Bradley. This movie largely survives because Bill Murray gets pulled into it. The weirdest of the basketball 90s was definitely Space Jam. The Air Jordan shoe was one of the most popular shoes of all time and people realistically thought it was because it was backed by Michael Jordan… as opposed to being heavily advertised by shoe companies and just overwhelmingly being a very good quality shoe. or at least how popular people thought it was. This was a sub-product of just how popular basketball was…. Everyone was wearing Jerseys not of their favorite teams… but because basketball jerseys were highly promoted by the gangster rap. If you’re one of dem there youngins you probably wouldn’t know that the 90s was the pinnacle of Basketball fever. As I write this they are working on a follow up sequel which will just be called Barkley 2. This game is entirely free to play and available for download at their website.

From Tales of Games is a free retro feeling RPG… about Charles Barkley.
