    2. What hobbies or other interests do you have?
      Custom roms on as many platforms as I can hack. Writer (4 books published), Hiking, and anything Google Sheets related
       
    3. When did you get introduced to the game NHL'94?  How did it happen?
      About when I was 12 or 13, my parents  (my dad), bought my brother and I a genesis with 3 games (Sonic, World Series and NHL94, a year bought 95). The love for hockey was already there and 94 brought me and my brother a lot of joy and fights. I can still remember scoring the first goal off the back of the glass hit the goalie and going in. Montreal v Chicago.
       
    4. When did you get introduced to nhl94.com and the online community? Were you playing between these two dates?  (That is, between first becoming aware of game, and first becoming aware of nhl94.com.)
      Started looking for updated rosters for football games and came across this site and wanted to see what it was all about. But, took over 20 years between the last time I played 94/95 to first playing online NHL94. First league, was the CDL C League this past year. Then developed with a few fine folks @kingraphand @segathon the WN95HL online league for NHL95.
    5. What are a couple things that you love about the game?
      1x Goals....my favorite part and obviously the fact as fun as it is today as back when 12 year old Thomas was playing, the true genius of the game and how simple but complex it is. 
       
    6. Are you a gamer in general? What other games do you play?
      A lone gamer before this site came along. Mostly, Old retro games have always been my jam. The XBOX OG is the last system, modern system I played.
       
    7. Do you follow hockey in real life? Any other sports?
      Montreal Canadiens/Winnipeg Jets fan both from the early 80s until now. NFL (played University Football myself) a huge 49ers fan. 
       
    8. If you have been to a live tourney, what was it like meeting the real people behind the screen names? Any big surprises?
      Never been.
       
    9. What is behind your screen name? (Origin story, if there is one.)
      UltraMagnus...Growing up in the 80s everyone knew or heard of Transformers. Everyone loved Optimus Prime, but seem like he got his ass kicked alot of the time...Similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. But always won in the end. I just was drawn more to Ultra Magnus, his General and closest friend (viewed as a potential replacement for him for the matrix of leadership). Never to the focal point, but always there to service and jump in when needed, as well as loyal.
       
    10. Favorite NHL94 player in game (and why)?
      Selanne...Jets...fast....and favorite player growing up.

    you wrote books!  wow what kinds?

    This was something I thought about, and it is why I removed the eyes, [to better match the SNK plain face style]
    But the downside is that EA only made the one player model, unlike the different batting stances, or gender options, you can find in the SNK games.
    And going by how much time and effort the guys that have done the helmet colour mods put in, and how the sprites are arranged already, it seems like it would be a lot of work for what quite possibly would only be a slight change in the art style.

    Yeah it would be cool to have different player models.  You did that box art so well, I spent some time daydreaming of a true Hockey Stars port.  I guess if I had a magic wand, the Hockey Stars would probably look like jumbo versions of NES Ice Hockey Players but with the Baseball stars art.  So many little tweaks you could do like having the goalie get the "sweating" animation like the pitchers get in baseball when tired.  The guys going over the boards, would be similar to grabbing a home run.  Probably would do fighting much more like blades of steal look.

  4. @UltraMagnusstarted an NHL 95 Online League this year and it is the best thing on the internet.

    we went from a league with half the guys didn’t know how to score into a very competitive league.
     

     Beginning of season people were just doing cross creases and one timers but this Game below is so fast paced and frantic because the defense has gotten so good.  

     This was the semi finals with NHL 94 GOD @kingraphagainst the reigning Segathon Champion who swept Kingraph in season series
