Space Jam (Video Game)

 In an other blog post, I had written about celebrating 30 years of the film Space Jam, well today, I wanted to look back on another fun thing I did as a kid and that was playing the video game of the same name which also came out along with the movie it was based on.

Space Jam the game, was created by Acclaim and was released for the Sega Saturn and Playstation. It was 3 on 3 basketball 2D game where you can choose to play for the TuneSquad or Monstars.

There were some cool mini-games through it all as well including being Daffy Duck trying to find Jordan's uniform while trying to avoid the family dog Charles. You also get to play as Bugs who is trying to find water bottles that contain Michael's secret stuff (Water) 😂.

What I love the most about this game is just how simple of a game it was. Me, Chad and Codeman would play this game for hours. Plus big brother Codeman is a major Michael Jordan fan during the youth in the 90s.

This game used the same engine as NBA Jam Extreme which makes sense because it was developed by the same people. 

As mentioned earlier, you choose between the two teams, but you can only pick three players. But all the characters from the film are in the game as well like Bugs, Daffy, Lola, Jordan and several others and each player has their strengths and weaknesses as well so you had to choose carefully on who you pick. Of course, you can always switch out for different character. But if I remember correctly, you can only change your players at halftime.

I can't believe this game is 30 years old, I mean it is crazy to me how time flies and honestly, I miss those times, everything just seemed so simple back then. With that being said however, I am grateful for those times and loved being able to play this game with my brothers.

Happy 30

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

Congrats To Trent Hidlay! (World Champion)

 Although, it has become common knowledge, by many of us who live in Mifflin County. But former Huskies' great Trent Hidlay pulled off an incredible comeback and became the 2025 World Wrestling Champion in Croatia at 92 kg. After being down 10-2, Hidlay powered his way back to defeat Amanula Gadzhimagomedov 13-10 to win the World's Gold Medal. This is such an inspirational story that needs to be told because stuff like this does not happen very often, especially in a small community like Mifflin County.  To me, the story of Trent is all about never giving up and continuing to push forward as well as hard work and dedication. What this young man has done is truly remarkable. I have been covering local sports for over ten years now and seeing where Trent has started to where he is now really puts a smile on my face. I mean this kid has won two State championships when he was in High School before moving on to Division 1 college wrestling at NC State. While there, Trent was a fou...

The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: HWF Summerfest!

Image
 Ah yes, yesterday was one of my favorite moments of the summer season. And that is the annual Summerfest event held by HWF which is the local wrestling federation run by my long time friend Matt Silks. Although this is the fifth annual Summerfest under the HWF banner, this event has been since I first met Matt back in high school and has held a special place in hearts of many of us pro wrestling fans here in Central PA. It is crazy to think how far something like this has come, I mean I was a freshmen in high school when I first met Matt and the gang. Of course, back then it was just a bunch a kids and a simple trampoline. Now look at it, it has become such a big event around town. Which honestly makes me smile because something like this in a small town like Lewistown. It is something to help people come out together and enjoy some good old wrestling. It also brings a tear to my eye because I remember the talks I have had with not just Matt, but several other people about doing s...

The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: McVeytown Fire Company 18

 Sometimes the most adventurous days come when you do not expect them and today was certainly one of those days. Chad and I went outside to take care of recycling and Chad had suggested we go check out the brand new Fire House for the McVeytown Fire company.  His boss from Kountry Kitchen, Amanda Boozel, her husband Doug is the Assistant Chief of the McVeytown Fire Company and they invited us to come over and check out the new the building. Of course we decided to go and see it for ourselves. When we arrived, Doug was not there yet, but we were welcomed by Nate Moist and many other members of the fire company and Moist went and gave us a little tour around the building. It was quite beautiful and I am glad to see that they were able to get the building put up. Now, remember when I said that sometimes the adventure can come when you least expect it. Well that came as we had just finished up our little tour, the alarm went off as a fire had broken out.  While Chad and I sto...
