Wayback Wednesday: Glitched NBA Live 97 SNES Cartridge
This is Wayback Wednesday, your midweek blast from the past! From retrospectives of basketball games and their interesting features, to republished articles and looking at NBA history through the lens of the virtual hardwood, Wednesdays at the NLSC are for going back in time. This week, I’m taking a look back at my glitched NBA Live 97 SNES cartridge, which features an extremely unusual roster bug.
It’s been a while since I produced a video for Wayback Wednesday, and this is a prime topic to dive back into that medium. Simply put, to do it justice, you need to see the game in action. That game is the SNES version of NBA Live 97, specifically my original copy that somehow developed one of the weirdest roster glitches I’ve ever seen. My replacement copy of NBA Live 97 SNES is working just fine, but it appears that there’s no way to fix the original glitched cartridge. It may not be so bad if you’re a big Christian Laettner fan, but even then you’d probably want the game to work properly, with the correct 1997 season rosters. Let’s take a look back…way back…
A truly bizarre glitch! If I can ever get that cartridge working properly again, I’ll be sure to produce a follow-up feature. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed this look at an incredibly strange error! I do like to branch out from my written retrospectives and other Wayback Wednesday articles from time to time, and again, this felt like an ideal topic to cover with a video. There’ll be more Wayback Wednesday video features in the future, and we’re also posting many other videos from the weekly Top 10 Plays to gameplay highlights, so be sure to subscribe to us on YouTube if you haven’t already. Also keep it locked to the NLSC every Wednesday for weekly Wayback content!
