If you are playing offence, you can shake defenders, pass to another player and shoot towards the basket. When playing defence you can, attemp to steal from the ball handler, toggel through defensive players and block or rebound. You can't however move the camera 180 degrees to have a view from the other side. The Graphics are quite good in Slam 'N Jam 95. The players are large sprites and move about on the screen rapidly.
Different teams have different uniforms which adds to the realism of the game.
There is even a scene where the player shatters the backboard when he slam-dunks and holds on to the hoop. The scoreboard is quite realistic looking and shows up many times throughout the game. In the bottom right hand corner you have a digital clock counting down the time that is left in the quarter you are playing. During the game you have voice commentaries given by CNN's Van Earl Wright. It's is nice to hear the comments of the game as you play and the croud cheering you on.
