Congratulations on your purchase of Jam
Fest Basketball. Now you can play a slam-
ming, jamming game of basketball against
an opponent with the skills of a pro. Steal the
ball, shoot three pointers and jam as you feel
the game vibrate in your hands. It’s the most
fun you can have off the court!
You can play alone, or use an optional connect-
ing cord* for two players when you want to
compete against a friend. You'll enjoy playing
Jam Fest Basketball with its large LCD, realis-
tic sound effects and three game options—
Tournament Game, Free Throws and
Designated Shooting Areas.
