The Story Behind NBA Jam | A 90s Gaming Masterpiece
Wrestling With Gaming
@wrestlingwithgamingAbout
My name is Yahel and I'm the creator behind Wrestling With Gaming, a channel where I create documentary-style videos covering all aspects of video game history as well as the occasional game review. My videos aren't lazily made opinion pieces. They are well researched and meticulously edited mini documentaries, made with the goal of preserving gaming history and educating others about it along the way. Some of the topics I've covered include the history of the Game Genie, Sega's 32 bit internal war, the 3DO, the story of the Philips CD-i, the making of Superman 64, the story behind the Super FX chip, and the story of the Power Glove, just to name a few.
