A cliffhanger or cliffhanger ending is a plot device in fiction which features a main character in a precarious or difficult dilemma, or confronted with a shocking revelation at the end of an episode of serialized fiction. A cliffhanger is hoped to ensure the audience will return to see how the characters resolve the dilemma. Some serials end with the caveat "To Be Continued..." or "The End?" In movie serials and television series the following episode sometimes begins with a recap sequence (e.g., "Previously on L. A. Law").

College Slam is a college basketball (console exclusive) game published by Acclaim. Its game play is nearly identical to NBA Jam, (in which it can also be considered a 3rd sequel). It includes most major Division I colleges, but there are many, such as the University of Tennessee, the University of Notre Dame, and Mississippi State University (who had just made a run to the Final Four that year), that are not included. The player can play tournaments, a season, or a single game. The game, however, did not enjoy the success of NBA Jam. Initially released for the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis, it was later released for the Game Boy, Sega Saturn, Sony PlayStation, and PC.

Graphics were done mainly by comic artists[who?].The game was originally from a concept video animated by Peter Morawiec titled "Joe Pencil Trapped In The Comix Zone".
