Gameplay

In the US version of the game, players can select a three-player team from a selection of 10 city-based teams in the United States. In the European and Japanese versions of the game, the cities are replaced with countries around the world. The selection screens, player skin colours and costumes also change between the versions.
Each team has a total of 18 points in several characteristics (Dunk, 3pts, Speed, and Defence), and 8pts max for each. Every team has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, New York (USA in the JP/EU Version) is good in dunks and bad in 3-pointers; on the other hand, Philadelphia (Taiwan in JP/EU version) is good in 3-pointers and bad in dunks.
In Japan, Game Machine listed Street Slam on their 15 February 1995, issue as being the eighteenth most-popular arcade game at the time.[17] In North America, RePlay reported the game to be the third most-popular arcade game at the time.[18] According to Famitsu, the Neo Geo CD sold over 4,873 copies in its first week on the market.[19]
On release, Famitsu scored the Neo Geo version of the game a 25 out of 40.[4]Next Generation reviewed the Neo-Geo version of the game, rating it two stars out of five.[5]
