Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City is a 2D sci-fi horror side-scrolling platformer developed and published by Electronic Arts for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America on November 1994. It was later published in Europe by Ocean in 1995. Players control then-retired professional basketball player Michael Jordan as he embarks on a quest throughout the titular Windy City to rescue fellow basketball players from the forces of mad scientist Dr. Maximus Cranium. Aiding him is an endless supply of basketballs as weapons (including special "power balls"). Along with its premise and use of the sport of basketball in platformers, the game is known for its inclusion of product placements for the Wheaties and Gatorade brands, both of which have items the player can pick up to restore health.
