NBA Live '95 on SNES was one of those games that made you feel like you were actually calling the shots on the court—even if the graphics were a little blocky by today’s standards. The gameplay’s smooth, with decent controls for the time, and the season mode sucked me in way more than I expected. Dunking with Shaq or draining threes with Reggie Miller just *felt* right.
It’s got that classic mid-90s vibe, right down to the slightly exaggerated player animations and the announcer who sounds like he’s hyping up a high school game. Not as deep as modern basketball sims, but it’s got charm—and honestly, it’s still fun to fire up for a quick match when you’re feeling nostalgic. You can play it on pretty much anything now, which is nice if your SNES is buried in a closet somewhere.
