Face Off! with DOSBox - Hockyboys vs. CPU

I have always wanted to make a video of this cool game =). So lay and behold one of my favorite wastes of time from my boyhood years - FACE OFF! Watch my unbeatable team Hockyboys (red jersey) take on Quebec (green jersey) in a full-crowded exhibition game. The game also has a full league play option with playoffs.

This game is evidently infamous for its absolutely pitiful AI implementation. You can always defeat the computer if you feel like it =D. The only feature of some good is the "shot-cam" goalie who is quite difficult to pass. Exhibitions are more fun in 2-player mode.

I still found the player's option of assuming multiple "roles" quite innovative for an 80's game. First of all, player can assume the role of a team General Manager and make changes to everything: team name, player names, lineups, even the playbook. Then one can play the game as a regular hockey player or then just try coaching the team telling them to play by the book. Coaching actually is the most fascinating role, as then it's really about whose playbook is the best and on the ice it's AI vs AI. Anyway, it's all about winning the Gamestar Hockey League (GHL) and bringing The Cup home =D.
