Maybe I should just record the audio out and convert it to AAC so I can put it on the iphone and just jack it into the module. Doing this will allow you to download any purchases that you make onto a maximum of three Jammit compatible devices. 2) Select the Try It Out button to download the 30 second demo songs or. I guess the Rock Band chart is just another way of reading drum notes.That's an interesting way to get backing tracks. 1) Download the free app to your iOS 5 iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. I don't ever plan to play in a band, so I don't need to memorize a song. I can read drum sheet music and have tried Roland DT1 - V-drums Tutor Software, but I just couldn't get the hang the the notes scrolling side ways, so I cant play a new song at all trying to read the notes scrolling side ways, but I can load up a song I have never played before in Rock Band and play the whole song with no problem. Jammit is a 1994 basketball video game released for the 3DO, DOS, Genesis and SNES. I don't even have my controller connected to my drum module, so I'm mot triggering any notes in the game, so I sometimes play the song a little different, like playing the fills different if I like. I realised this once I mastered the pilot controls for dunking – Microsoft Basketball Simulator-style – white chick can’t dunk, man! Only lay it up.I play my drums to Rock Band practice mode with the game drums muted. ![]() Rooooo-xanne, you don't have to put on the red light! Not only is she named and dressed like a prostitute, I’m pretty sure her stats have been messed with on account of her being both white, and female. And the sexism don’t forget the sexism! Both of these vices are embodied in one character: Roxy. To think this kind of gritty oatmeal ugliness and ‘street’ ‘tude is actually praised in today’s games – it’s boring and cringeworthy! Says 'Chill' to 'Slade': "you as bored as I am, man?" How delightfully 'urban'.Īnd then comes the racism. Said characters are photo-captured Mortal Kombat-style like just about every other awful game of that era. There are exactly three playable characters to choose from – two black guys and a white chick – meaning only three possible match-ups. While the database contains information about copyrighted materials, it does not contain the data on the media. It’s one-on-one street basketball, so there are only two fleshy sprites to break up the grey. is a disc preservation database and community dedicated to collecting precise and accurate information about video games released on optical media. It’s street basketball, so it takes place on a grey concrete half-court with chain-link fences. Don’t say I didn’t try.Īside from those things, Jammit is a rather bland basketball offering. What do I like about the game? Well, I like the funky slap-bass soundtrack, which matches the title quite well I like the fact that there’s a ‘Trash Talk’ setting in the options screen ranging from ‘off’ to ‘some’ to ‘lots’ and that’s about it. Now that I’ve done Jammit the disservice of comparing it to two great Jams, let’s discuss the game on its own merits. Speaking of simulations, dunking in Jammit is about as easy as landing an aircraft in Microsoft Flight Sim. Good simulations of the sport of basketball mayhap, but not good basketball videogames. Basketball videogame aficionados feel free to disagree with me here, but to my mind there hasn’t been a good basketball game since NBA Jam (perhaps with the exception of NBA Hangtime, which was essentially NBA Jam 2). ![]() This is also an unfavourable comparison for any basketball game, recent or otherwise. Upon realising that Jammit is in fact a basketball game, it reminded me of yet another videogame: NBA Jam. ![]() Unfortunately for Jammit, it has just damned itself to the seventh level of Videogame Hell simply by being mentioned in the same breath as Toejam & Earl and failing to live up to that gold standard – an unfavourable comparison for many a videogame, and an unfair one, some may say. Those of you who have had the pleasure of playing that game will no doubt understand the reference. Genre: Sports Publisher: GTE Developer: MultiPlayer: Release Date: 1994. A game that, in my humble opinion, is one of the greatest games of all time. The word ‘Jammit’ immediately elicits memories of a game very near and dear to my heart, Toejam & Earl.
