NBA Hangtime

Variants

The back of the case fails to mention the Multi-Tap Icon needed for the 4 players. It doesn’t appear it was ever corrected.

Hangtime’s disc art is also a much brighter orange than the scanner would allow.

Secrets

Midway’s NBA Hangtime is packed with tons of codes and hidden characters.

Programmer’s Cheats

With these codes, the tumbler will flash if inputted correctly. These codes also lock you out of the tumbler once activated.

• American Basketball Association Ball Colors
  Hold Right and quickly press Cross, Square, Circle. This also triggers ‘No Tournament’ mode.
• Big Head Mode (for the player who inputted it)
  Hold Up and press Circle, Square.
• Dennis Rodman’s Hair Color
  Highlight the Chicago Bulls and Dennis Rodman will be part of the first choice. Press Circle and you can cycle through 8 colors to change to.
• No Computer Assistance
  Hold Right on the D-Pad and quickly press Circle, Circle.
• No Player Arrow
  Quickly press Left, Left, Circle, Square. This turns off your locator arrow when you’re off-screen.
• Random Team Select
  Hold Square and Press Up. The game will auto-scroll and choose a team for you. You’re allowed to choose the squad.
• Rooftop Court
  Hold Left and quickly press Square, Square, Square.

Versus Codes

For these codes, you’ll enter them in at the Match-Up screen with the tumbler at the bottom of the screen. Press Turbo for the first number, Shoot for the second number and Pass for the final number. So if the code is 1-2-3, you’ll press Turbo once, Shoot twice, and then Pass three times. You’ll know the code works via a text prompt in the lower left corner for Player 1 once the game starts.
