NHLPA 93 Main Menu

[LScouser8]

Me and my brother scored 50 goals in one game (with 5 min periods v the computer) once. We were NY Rangers as teammates. I still have all our stats somewhere - they make pretty phenomenal reading.

[pearljamcalgaryfan]

I wanna say that's Mike Richter on the cover there, but i think he had a much cooler helmet, Dan Cloutier maybe?

[oasisbeyond]

Bet I'm not the only one that creates lyrics. lol

[MultiZingoo]

My uncle has a genesis and unfortunately I wasn't born when the genesis was made or old enough to accept how amazing it is (i'm 15). But whenever I went to my uncles house i'd always get excited to play NHLPA 93 on his Genesis and still to this day look forward to playing on it. I just recently got a Genesis and looking into purchasing this game.... One of the best games ever! Best NHL game ever made....

[scurvy]

'93>'94

[NickD25]

Ahhh when EA was actually producing great and fun games!!!

[eclipspyd99]

my Lightning were the expansion team in this game and their best players were Chris Kontos and Brian Bradley! lol. all their players were so weak and slow, you could score more then 10 goals on us, it was sad!!! brings back a lot of memories!!!

[SwerveStarEx]

I used to love this song. When I saw this, I had to check it out... BUT I FORGOT EXACTLY -HOW- AWESOME IT WAS!!!

[jeffflambino]

Lads. Its a Megadrive, not a Genesis....

[mikeandratm]

0:24 Sickest arpeggios ever.

[Kushncrackers420]

flash back to the good old days sega genisis

[lechuk]

Hours and hours and hours playing this game.. Excellent game. Awesome time.

[ThaShark316]

Blackhawks all day with this game. Roenick, Smith, Chelios, Belfour...mannnnnnnn

[Koopa3000]

Few beers and NHLPA Hockey '93 in a good company - life can't get much better.

Yes, we still play this every now and then with my friends!

[wardrya1]

i'm 28 and searched youtube specifically to hear this song... memories lol

[swissbeats2k]

@wardrya1 I'm 27 and i did the same thing lol.

[youtubin222]

@swissbeats2k

26, same thing

[RedWings3012]

Penguins and Blackhawks...

[partypete]

Basil Mcrae and Tie Domi could eat more punches than anyone could throw too - toughest team was tampa bay (I know - shocked) - but they had mcrae and hunter, and some other cement head. Bruins are the champs in 2010 -11 - built on toughness. This game we love will always stay the same...i pray.

[johnnystir]

Loved this game!!!

[NevrSilent]

This came out during my third year of college. Let me tell you, many classes were either missed by epic all-night sessions w/ this game, or many afternoon classes were skipped so we could grab a couple of hours of gaming in before starting our night jobs. And a lot of cold Labatt beers were consumed over this theme song....

[bryamatt]

Ahahaha Tony Twist was what, a 5 overall? I still remember the "Tony Twist Experience". Dangled from behind my net, deking off checks left and right, deked the goalie and buried it. Was hilarious because the speed he was going anybody else would have made it down the ice and back about 5 times before he made it to the other end.

[drthmstrbtr]

@bryamatt yeah Probert had 100 shot accuracy too lol haha so stupid

[29Texan]

I wish they'd remix this and use it for NHL 12....

[maitlanr]

this makes me rock hard

[weewooweewoo12]

i swear they should use this for Hockey Night in Canada's new theme...

[notyoursavior78]

@weewooweewoo12

That's a great idea!

[Lukavich35]

I own everyone with the Rangers in this game. No better goalie combo than Richter and Beezer. And Graves, Messier and Gartner on the same line is just unfair.

[drthmstrbtr]

@Lukavich35 Boston and Chicago were better though

[Fistwagon]

I remember the words Team Roster confusing me in this game. I thought of a cockadoodledoo kind of ro(o)ster because I was a kid and didn't understand english all that well. That didn't stop me from playing the game for countless hours however.

[Perilcrown]

NOTICE: Nellys song "Heart of a Champion" is a ripp-off of this song

NOTICE: Nelly is from St Louis

NOTICE: GO BLUES!

[drthmstrbtr]

@Perilcrown NO idiot Nelly's "Heart of a Champion" sampled the NFL theme you dont know what youre talking about it wasnt NHLPA 93 WHY would a black person sample a hockey game tune? dumbass

[Perilcrown]

@drthmstrbtr whatever masterbater, the tune sounds closer to this than anything..dumbass

[Perilcrown]

@drthmstrbtr whatever masterbater, the tune sounds closer to this than anything..dumbass

[Ebinsugewa]

@drthmstrbtr Unfortunately, it was Roundball Rock by John Tesh, notably used as the NBA on NBA theme.

[drthmstrbtr]

@Ebinsugewa oh is it? yeah well my point still stands NBA is for black people like Nelly he didnt sample this

[Dongshow]

@Perilcrown :

Nelly Has a song about the Washington Capitals starting lineup in this game.

[DSP1899]

If you hit the the B button to pass and up it would allow a player to take a shot straight that was often hard to defend.

[Dongshow]

@DSP1899 way to recognize the power of the Bshot

[rapideye97]

makes me wish I was 10 years old again...

[drthmstrbtr]

Dale Hunter - Shot Accuracy 100

Gary Roberts- Shot Accuracy 100

Dale Hunter- Shot Accuracy 100

Dino Ciccarelli - Shot Accuracy 100

( none of those players were that accurate lol)

[natedoggcata]

snes version was better

[notyoursavior78]

@natedoggcata

nope

[MikeGartner]

@notyoursavior78 Not even close.

[youtubin222]

@natedoggcata

nah

[KrazyNinjaMaster33]

@natedoggcata if you listen closely. the snes version is actually NHL 92's theme only slowed

[1977Jaybone]

love it, i own them all 92-98 sega

[GarthBeatty]

Bring on the blood from injuries from hard checks and fights!

[SouthParkDiggity]

Gretsky!!! LMFAO

[B275]

i want this as my ringtone

[MrManifestation]

When they replaced the HNIC Theme, it should've been this. Then I would've forgiven them for getting rid of the old one.

[MrManifestation]

Classic, just classic.

[maitlanr]

this game explains life;

[B275]

agreed thats why im listening to it

[crawford371]

best theme ever

[Richardb3000]

I love this so much.. i've never felt my teenage years relived like this...man how many days,weeks, months,years did I play NHL on Genesis.. Grade 8 revisited

[Akiah38]

One of the best NHLs' theme.

Remember when i played this as young.

I really loved it :D

[WeTrustChrist]

Simply the best hockey game ever made. Period. Many say 94 is the best, but the gameplay is not as good in 94 as it is in 93, despite the fact it has 1-timers and goalie control. Also, 94 got rif of the fighting we all loved in 93 AND the blood! 93's puck bounces were so much more fun than 94's predictable bounces. You have to play both to understand what I'm saying! :)

[namtap]

@WeTrustChrist Both have their merits. One-timers are great fun in NHL '94, but they also make the game amazingly easy.

[teststand00]

@you forgot EA Hockey ;)

[Percey1]

@WeTrustChrist It really is the best. I played this game for an immeasurable amount of time when I was like... 8. NYR was the hardest team to beat and Toronto sucked so bad. So. Much. Time. Spent. NHL '93 Represent

[EWFHardcoreKevin]

fucking epic game and epic theme love it can listen to it all dayyy

[Gneis27]

This was my first hockey game that I own, it was very cool! nostalgic feeling! was a good predecessor for the future nhl 94 that brought one important thing missing in this version: the multiplayer option! with the fantastic four way play!

[JANETREN0]

<3 this.

[Kieronoldham]

Thanks, I have just felt aged 13 again. Always loved this game, especially the fights you could get into. ;) Maybe people who grew up playing Sega Mega Drive/Genesis or SNES would say this, but gameplay back then was far greater than you get today....

[notyoursavior78]

Well there are some great hockey games today (I really like NHL2K7/NHL2K8 for the PS3. and NHL '09 the "be a pro" mode is cool (I prefer the classic controls though).

NHLPA '93 is just special though. I was playing it a few days ago and it is a little depressing I wasn't as good at it, as I used to be. But what a fantastic game in its own right even today!

[Richardb3000]

likewise, i heart skipped a beat, and I got a little emotional actually... Al macinnis from the point!!!!!!!!!!

[notyoursavior78]

Quite possibly the best main menu song in any videogame ever.

[Richardb3000]

seconded

[M1710]

I remember I went to my friend to play this game everyday just for this theme.

I was a SNES user and that theme was bad compared to this.

There is another tune I really would like to find, it was the tune that appeared after finished game in the final games. match summary or something like that.

Sorry for not being clear in this but help me.

[pizzaani]

BEST!:Di have this game:D

[crawford371]

greatest theme ever period!

[tolerants23]

um this is good but not as good as 92

[Conz101]

best video game theme of all time.

[Shintroy]

faved son

[ndpitch]

Such a sick theme.

[BeingME55]

omg i love this theme!!!! good post!

[pizza316]

this was the first hockey video game i played! loved it! wished i still had it lol

[GuardianRebelDave12]

this game kicked ass. my buddy bryant had this game and we used to play all the time. his mom and dad used to keep count of our head to head records and record as a team. as a teram we were unstopable head to head he was slightly better than me. he win most of the time by 1 or 2

[DaKinEoO]

yea i love that game :) i was 7 when i played it ^^

[baimerr]

oh hell yes.

now that is hockey music!

[wrenkler]

haha

[drthmstrbtr]

anyone know how to get this as a ringtone?

seriously its fricken awesome

[drthmstrbtr]

My underdog players list: DON SWEENEY : Bruins D-man simply gets overshadowed by Bourque but can really check ! ROBERT REICHEL: Flames Forward Joe Nieuendyk is the auto selected center PETR SVOBODA: Sabres D-man Bodger is good but he cant shoot as well CRAIG SIMPSON: Oilers center best backhander in the game lol go ahead try putin in these players instead of what the computer auto edits on the teams line

[MikeGartner]

Sweeney was fast too!!

[drthmstrbtr]

& accurate with his checks

speed + hitting power = badass d-man

[HATEbeersnobs]

This intro makes me wanna workout!

lol gotta train those thumbs lol

[daybyday59]

I was able to play this game last night and it did not disappoint. Played as the blackhawks and my friend played as the red wings. Roenick had 6 goals. Roenick in 93 was like Bure in 95. untouchable.

[DaveMeggett]

blackhawks were legendary in this game... not only roenick but belfour was unstoppable, and don't forget larmer and chelios. redwings distant 2nd.

[cptjrkov]

BOSTON was the BEST!!!!!!!!!

[MikeGartner]

Calgary was no slouch. Neither was vanny with Bure, Courtnall, and Ronning.

[daybyday59]

the penguins were good too, but this game was the Roenick show. I have to find a comparable character in this game. Yzerman and lemieux were the closest i came up with.

[MikeGartner]

I'll add a few. Add Gilmour (especially in 94) to the closest to Roenick list.

Others that were off the charts were Gartner, Messier, MacInnis, Hull, Oates, Larmer.

[as2421]

The reason the redwings were so far behind the blackhawks was simply because Detroit's Goaltending was like Tim Cheveldae and Glen Hanlon or something. Not even close to Belfour.

Detroit had just as good a skating group as the hawks though.

[ARod016]

exactly, and look what happened when they picked up Mike Vernon?

[landrykkb]

@DaveMeggett Of course,the Red Wings were only up and coming as Stanley Cup contenders then.

[eclipspyd99]

wow, I used to love this game!! My Lightning were so bad in this game. They were the expansion team this year so their players were all so damn weak and slow!! their best players were Chris Kontos and Brian Bradley and their goalie was Darren Puppa. But you gotta admit, the bassline to this theme rocks!!!

[daybyday59]

Jeremy Roenick was a beast in this game.

[ChrisSa2949]

I loved destroying people with Tony Twist and Bob Probert. So many wasted nights.

[HATEbeersnobs]

Too bad thety were COKE heads

they sucked balls @ hockey

complete fucking goon jokes!

[cptjrkov]

@ChrisSa2949 UMM no they sucked dick ... Bourque & Sweeney on Boston were WAY better checkers PLUS they didnt ummmm SUCK!

[Perilcrown]

@ChrisSa2949 the twister

[taranchula97]

@ChrisSa2949 RIP Probert

[GmanGregilla]

@ChrisSa2949 R.I.P., Bob Probert.

[HATEbeersnobs]

@GmanGregilla i remember he & Dale Hunter had 100 shot accuracy!?!?

like wtf lol hahah RIP Probert

[GmanGregilla]

@HATEbeersnobs Really?

In actuality, he, apparently, had a relatively good scoring touch (especially for such an ultimate energy-line enforcer that he was on the ice in the pros).

[drthmstrbtr]

@GmanGregilla Yeah NHL 93 had SO MANY bum players with 100 shot accuracy lol Probert NOW WAY IN HELL could shoot that well lol

[HATEbeersnobs]

@ChrisSa2949 Bourque & Sweeney were better!

Boston was my team!

[Kommodore]

excellent bassline

[MikeGartner]

Absolute classic; had the Genesis hooked up to a Kenwood with giant speakers.

[eclipspyd99]

wow! brings me back to 6th grade! haha

[oasisoasis1234]
