User Summary NBA In the Zone '98 is the third entry in Konami's basketball franchise. It is the first game in the series to date itself by the year of the basketball season that it covers and the '98 edition marks the first time that the series was available on Nintendo 64. The game was designed to be a very realistic game and met with mixed reviews, the general consensus being that the PlayStation version was well-done while the Nintendo 64 version was rough and full of bugs.
