''Street Slam'' (known as ''Dunk Dream'' in Japan, and ''Street Hoop'' in Europe) is [[Creator/DataEast Data East]]'s 1994 [[SportsGame sports game]] for UsefulNotes/NeoGeo. The game was created in wake of wacky basketball games followed by ''VideoGame/NBAJam'', but it's one of few games that actually came close to Midway's classic in terms of popularity, thanks to its accessibility and shameless '90s pop music.

It later received a sequel named ''Dunk Dream '95'' (also known as ''Hoops '96'' or simply ''Hoops'' outside of Japan) released for Data East's ill-fated MLC System. This one adds 4-player support and "Super Defense" that blocks special shots. ''Street Slam'' is one of more accessible Data East titles thanks to numerous re-release through digital platforms; the game appeared on the compilation ''Data East Arcade Classics'' in 2010, and later on UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole in the same year. It's also released on UsefulNotes/XboxONE and UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch in 2017 through Hamster Corporation's ACA series.

* CulturalTranslation: ''Dunk Dream'' (Japan) and ''Street Hoop'' (Europe) has you match between countries around the world, while ''Street Slam'' (North America) sets in the cities of the United States. In either case, though, [[ArtisticLicenseGeology the actual courts doesn't necessarily reflect their country/city]].

The game loosely follows the rules of 3-on-3 [[UsefulNotes/{{Basketball}} basketball]], with addition of the "Super Shot" meter that replenishs over time. You can activate special shot when the meter bar is full.

!!''Street Slam'' provides examples of:
* AnnouncerChatter: It's not ''NBA Jam'' clone without this, isn't it? It's also often more LargeHam than that game's announcer. "'''DOWN TOWN!!'''"
* ArtisticLicenseSports: The game allows a large number of personal foul, including pushing the opponent with your elbow. The worst you'd get is some jeer from the gallery. But hey, RuleOfFun.
