'''''Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City''''' was released by [[Electronic Arts]] in [[1994 in video gaming|1994]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]]. The game did not sell well and was named in the top ten worst video games in [[Nintendo Power]] magazine (issue 100); however, it was noted within the issue that the game was not entirely awful, but the concept itself was deemed ridiculous by many and thus was a part of the criticisms of the game itself. It features [[Michael Jordan]], though unlike the similarly themed ''[[Shaq Fu]]'', it is a [[2D computer graphics|2D]] [[Platform game|platformer]] along the lines of [[Mario]].
 
 
==Gameplay==
 
The game played much like other 2D platformers of its time, collecting keys and defeating enemies with a variety of different techniques. The player controls Michael Jordan on a quest to save the rest of the players for an All-Star charity game, who have all been kidnapped. The player attacks enemies using different [[Basketball (ball)|basketball]]s, each with its own ability; for example, the freeze ball can freeze the ground and create a slippery surface, the bomb ball makes a large explosion, and so on. The player must find keys throughout the game to unlock different doors and rescue teammates. Michael can also [[slam dunk]] for a secondary attack. This is also used to activate powerup baskets and various checkpoints along the way.
