This is a half baked ROM hack from 10 years ago that I never finished but was considering completing it little by little as my last project ever.
The concept is this: the fate of the world depends on winning the Stanley Cup... Plot is a little thin, but it's a work in progress
Here are the teams so far:
Wu-Tang Clan
Predators (invisible skaters)
Jeremy Roenick (with no goalie / empty net)
Middle Earth Lizard People
WWF
Marvel Super Heroes
DC Super Heroes
Cosa Nostra
Chicago Gangsters
Tech Support
San Quentin, Death-Row Fugitives (from old 2on2, league rom)
MemeStars
West Coast Billionaires
NHL'94 All-Stars
The Warriors
Storm Troopers
Retirement Home Seniors
Hades Undead Skeletons
Vaticans
Woodstock Hippies
Japan Yakuza
Bloods
Crips
Russian Mafia
Shaolin Monks
Ninjas
Democrats
Republicans
Pimps
B-Listers
Phantoms
Russian All-Stars
Open to any suggestions. The crazier the better. Maybe we can squeeze in a Mutant League Hockey Team.
Bolded = confirmed teams
Classic Rock Stars(Zeppelin, Who, Floyd, Stones, AC/DC, Sabbath, etc)
Military/Police?
Dead Presidents
Canadian non-hockey athletes(Steve Nash(NBA), Larry Walker(MLB), Lennox Lewis(Boxing), Gary/Paul Gait(Lacrosse), Ben Johnson(Track), Georges St Pierre(UFC), etc)
Cartoon Characters-Looney Tunes, Muppets, Disney, etc
Yeah, I dragged all four files over...and I have also gone into Documents/RetroArch and I see the Core and ROMs folder, see attached for screenshot...
I've figured out my problem - I wasn't selecting "Start Directory", instead I was thinking the ROM folder/files would be listed on that screen...
So we're all good now, thanks boys!
B-List actors? Or movie characters who all die early in the movie?
Famous generals from history?
The Washington generals? (Or worse on the same thread, the Charlestown Super-Chiefs- it's a train!)
I love a good fantasy ROM. Here are a few quick ideas.
A Mighty Ducks superteam combining the actual NHL franchise, the movies, and the cartoon.
Shadow team - blacked out sprites.
A bunch of punny/joke names, e.g. a forward named Willie Passit, a defender named Noah Fence.
I also remember playing some other hockey game (ESPN NHL, I think) that had a parody take on the "hidden playable celebrity" idea. You could play as a Republican or Democrat team but their stats were as bad as you'd expect from a bunch of middle-aged politicians.
West Coast Billionaires. Like the Vancouver Millionaires, but it's Bill Gates, Steve Jobs (back from cryostasis), Elon Musk, etc. Their money can't help them here, but they feel like they have the most to lose. So they play.
Everyone knows the Vaticans only play in the minor leagues.
Dune's House Atreides. The ice must flow. They attack really slow, but their strategies and mind games are top notch.
Game of Thrones. A first round exit would still be a better ending.
Whose Line is it Anyway? 1st line, 2nd like, checking like, doesn't matter; no one is better at improvising on the fly. Goal horn needs to be customized to be the game buzzer. Hoe-down organ music.
