About the game
Hangtime was the third basketball game by the original development team behind the NBA Jam series. The title was changed due to the NBA Jam name being acquired by Acclaim Entertainment, the publisher of the games for the home market. Acclaim's NBA Jam Extreme was released the same year as Hangtime. Features introduced in Hangtime included character creation, alley oops and double dunks. A software update known as NBA Maximum Hangtime was released for the arcades later in the life cycle.

About this project
The README’s evidence for playability is explicit: it says the game runs through the final-results screen, not merely that it boots. It calls the software an early release, so improvements may continue even though a full playthrough is claimed. The repository describes support for Windows, Linux and Steam Deck.
