Konami's basketball entry, and by one period reviewer's account the weaker of its two console versions.
This is the Nintendo 64 version of NBA In The Zone '99, developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka and released in North America on April 8, 1999. In Europe it came out in 1999 as NBA Pro '99, and a Japanese release followed in June 1999.
GameFan's April 1999 review said the N64 version managed to wow with its awfulness while the PlayStation version could hold its head high.
Before you buy
The US cartridge sits below the library median when loose. PAL copies, titled NBA Pro '99, cost more than US ones. The fake risk is low. A complete copy costs a few times the loose price.
