The plot:
You can play this game against the CPU or your friend. The game is very simple though, but fun (not to be compared with the PSX game, NHL98 ;)

How To Play:
To begin with you can choose one or a two player mode. Then it's time to choose your team. The countries are USA, Sweden, Poland, Canada, Russia and finaly the Czech Republic. You can also select the player speed between 1 and 5, where 5 is the most difficult and fastest one. Time selection is 5, 10, or 15 minutes. Then it's time to choose your players. There are 3 different kind of players. One little thin guy (but fast though), a "normal" player and one big fat (very slow, but with a powerful slapshot) player :) The strange part in the game is that the team players (not including the goalkeeper) are only 4, when it should be the normal 5. Well, after your selection it's time for a nice game of hockey. On A button you can pass the puck, and skate fast (without the puck though). While button B is the shoting button then. The more you hold the B button down, the more power you get. You can also read the full text of the original documentation.

Cheats:
None Available. (I guess?)

Comment:
A good hockey game for it age. Best played with a friend. Of course if you get bored of scoring goals, you can always start a nice clean hockey fight! ;)

Rating: 6/10
