The Clintons on SNES August 14, 2008 - by Ian Bogost For some reason, it was possible to select then-White House occupants Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, or Al Gore as players in NBA Jam Tournament Edition for SNES. The White House routinely issues cease and desist notices for using the President's likeness for marketing, but this wasn't exactly marketing, exactly. One of the features of NBA Jam TE were hidden characters from outside of sports, including Will Smith, the Beastie Boys, and Prince Charles. It's unclear to me what if any likeness reproduction rights Acclaim acquired for these characters back in the early 1990s. I'd love to know. (Thanks to Dakota) Comment from Kurt Margenau on August 20, 2008
Dude, Bill Clinton had amazing range. If you took him deep into the corner, he'd hit that 3 every time. BOOMSHAKALA! POST A COMMENT
