Fantastic game. I was always Iceland or Italy. Loved this game. My friend and I played this for hours on end. Great memories. This was part of a double pack with Madden NFL on the same cartridge. It came with my Megadrive. Its strange, I loved this game but rarely played Madden and found it very difficult, while since then I have bought maybe one more hockey game and atleast six or seven Madden games.
@Galwaybhoy This was the ultimate Hockey game, I was the same had it for mega drive and could never quite figure out the Madden game, only how to punt it long lol, Was always Canada, number 99 Wayne Gretsky, what a player
i remember this game..lol..i had to make up my own season on paper..lmao..there was no season mode on this one, thats how frickin bored i was i guess but his is an awesome game
omg. music is so annoying. np nhl teams? only national teams? no commentary? it is so primitive compared to my latest (very old indeed) nhl game the nhl 2005. i'm not even comparing it to the nhl 2010! ahhh but it's the first game. so it's kinda okay. it's still a classic in my opinion.
This games was sped up and used the original NHL Hockey Genesis version's teams. It was really too fast, but it was a fantastic find back in 1991/1992. I have this game for the Genesis, packaged with the original Madden. Awesome!
@batmanrock3333 Well, technically they just get lucky and publish another developer's good game every now and then. Its rare that one of their own development houses, in my opinion, makes a good and fun game.
Anyone else think the starting music sounded like a theme that would be used in Road Rash? Lol, amazing game this is, one of the best gaming series on the mega drive!
God I feel so old hehehe, this was on of the first games I got on my MegaDrive and you know what I still have it and my MegaDrive for that matter!!!!! ;)
Wow the first 'NHL' hockey game. And it my god it sucks. Aheh Nah i'm sure it was kinda surprising and revealing in that time. But I started to like the series from like '97/'98/'99
no, this game, i believe, thanks to matarese21, was the Euro version of the original NHL hockey, released in 1991 Thats not confirmed yet, ill check it out first.
I think this was the Euro version. Funny to see team Spain and team Portugal!!!
In northamerica it was simply called NHL Hockey. The fights were great (after the whistle), rap around goals even better. Pittsburg, Rangers, Chicago and Boston were the better teams.
check this ... cheers

#4- Spain (ranked 36 by the IIHF)
#3- Iceland (Ranked 37)
#2- Luxembourg (Ranked 42)
#1- Portugal (Not ranked!)
NOTE: #6 least deserved is Yugoslavia, since they are now Serbia, and ranked #30.
