NBA Hangtime

NBA Hangtime is a classic arcade-style basketball game that delivers fast two-on-two action with a dose of over-the-top moves and wild energy. It was released in arcades in 1996 by Midway and later made its way to consoles such as the N64, PlayStation, Genesis, and SNES. If you've ever played NBA Jam, you'll recognize the style—but NBA Hangtime has more depth, more chaos, and a few surprises along the way.

We know people love playing retro basketball games on our website. That’s why we decided to add this gem to our sports section. I still remember loading it up on the N64 and spending hours experimenting with crazy dunks and unlock codes. Now it’s here for you to enjoy directly in your browser.

Let’s play the game on our Y9FreeGames website and see how many double dunks you can score.
