@Odrox by the time this port of the game was released Gretzky was with the Los Angeles Kings, however when the arcade game was released he was still with Edmonton.
I'm the same way. I'm not much for sports games but I'd take an NES or SNES era sports game any day of the week over today's games any day.
The more recent ones are just pretty to look at and overcomplicated. But as was already said, all you need is pass, shoot, hit people and a bit of challenge to have a great sports game.
Hockey games nowadays are totally overcomplicated. Seriously...all you really need to do in a hockey game is hit people, shoot, and pass (not necessarily in that order.) The best hockey games ever were those NHL Hitz games on various systems...those were usually hellarious.
@bohottie hell yeah, just got hitz 20-03 at eb games for A BUCK FIFTY! and its fucking midway sports, so you can get ready to experience hyper-unrealistic shit like being struck by lightening and catching on fire, and smashing people through the glass every two minutes. r.i.p. midway
looks like a pretty nice game. im not a sports guy myself, i have no interest in it, but some sports game do however look half decent, this is one of them
This was a great game! It was fun getting into all those pointless fights when friends & I played it. :D

I think Wayne Gretzky played in Edmonton when this game was released.

I played this once. The fights you get into in this game were weird, made me think a game of Urban Champion was going to break out.

OK, the ending was disgusting, but at the same time I kinda found it hilarious if only because it caught me completely off guard XD

Haven't really played that many hockey games myself, since my strategy amounts to shooting at random and beating the living hell out of my opponents.
And yeah, I think Edmonton is in Canada, what with the Oilers in the NHL...though I only know that from a Genesis game and an old-ass PC game. XD
And I know someone's gonna make a "WITH A PASS!" joke here, with the 8-bit voice in this.
