''Slam 'N Jam '95
was the first game developed by California-based studio Left Field Productions. The company was founded in 1994 by gaming industry veterans Mike Lamb, John Brandwood, and Jeff Godfrey. While Lamb and Branwood served as programmers on Slam 'N Jam'', Godfrey was its lead artist. According to Scott Steinburg, marketing director for the game's publisher
Crystal Dynamics, the design chose a "revolutionary approach" with new
32-bit technology rather than trying to evolve what was already on the market. This meant having the camera follow the ball; large,
rotoscoped sprites; and
CD quality music and sound.
