Collector interest

NBA Jam on Mega-CD, giving the over-the-top arcade basketball a CD soundtrack and an enriched presentation. Its collector interest lies in this disc variant of a hugely popular arcade phenomenon and the rarity of the Japanese run, sports titles on Mega-CD staying broadly uncommon. The original Japanese edition is the case purists favour.
