  "account": "Basketball enthusiasts can now bring the excitement of the NBA Jam arcade game into their homes with a new arcade cabinet. This vintage-inspired machine, available at Amazon and Walmart, lets you play NBA Jam, NBA Tournament Edition, and NBA Jam Hang Time in one or two-player action. Standing over five-feet tall, the cabinet features a 17-inch full-color screen and built-in speakers that provide loud sound effects and fan noise from the original video game. Players can control the action with a joystick and buttons for blocking, passing, and stealing, as well as a \"turbo\" mode button. Although the cabinet features a faux coin panel, it's strictly plug-and-play, with no coins required. The NBA Jam stand-up arcade game is an officially licensed release from Arcade1Up, known for its recreation of classic arcade games. Measuring 61.5 x 18.6 x 18.4 inches and weighing over 61 pounds, the cabinet is perfect for game rooms, basements, or dens. For those with smaller spaces, Walmart also sells a countertop version with a seven-inch LCD display, powered by batteries or USB cable.",
