Great memories.. awesome intro and music. When this and FIFA '96 came out I got them for my Dad's Pentium PC and i remember thinking wow...this is it, man...it ain't getting better than this.
I was 12 years old when this game came out. NHL96 was my first NHL game and it's my favourite too. Man... i just loved when i got a chance to score goals with Mario Lemieux
we have amazing graphics today, we lost the sick intros/music of yesterday. i love this game for pc and gensis. glad istill have em both and most importantly glad i was a kid who was able to enjoy video games 90s style! lol
The music was done by Jeff van Dyck and Saki Kaskas. I think Saki played all the guitar and Jeff did the electronic stuff. All from my hometown of Vancouver!
96 was the best NHL game ever. I've played 1200 - 20 minutes/periode games with serveral teams. ( inc. Flyers, Ottawa, San Jose, Edmonten and LA Kings )
I've got all my stats still here on Excel ;-)
I dont know why EA has removed the user stats.
it would be a nice feature in NHL 08 on my Xbox 360.
The song is just an in-house created music bit. EA did that for their games for quite some time, before finally branching out with their EA Trax. I still hold NHL 96 and 97's intro videos and music as my favorites.
First NHL game I ever played I was six. I loved how this game still has the (old) Jets, Whalers, and Nordiques.

i played 1200 games 20 minutes/period. Best NHL Game ever.
i've got all my stats from nhl 96 still as excel sheets :-P
i played the goalie, the only EA Game you really could play as goalie.
And the better the goalie, more complicated it was to play as goalie, because there were to fast :-P

This is for me the best intro for NHL games ever, it even beats the 98 ;)

The best intro to a video game EVER! I was introduced to this game when I was 16 and since then i've been hooked on the NHL series and ice hockey...
The whole presentation and music to this game was outstanding... Only NHL 99 comes close.. Man I miss those years!!

you have to use DOSBOX to get it to work among other things. It was a pain in the ass to get to work finally.
