BOOMSHAKALAKA! NHL Jam 21 v1.4.bin v 1.4 said to never exist 11/20/20, released 11/16/20. v 1.3 released 11/12/20, removed 11/16/20, 30 downloads. v 1.2 released 11/11/20, removed 11/12/20, 17 downloads. v 1.1 Released 11/5/20, removed 11/11/20, 35 downloads. v 1.0 Released 11/4/20, removed 11/5/20, 23 downloads. Features Fast-paced, arcade-stick friendly, 2 on 2 action! 32 playable teams, with the Soviet Union acting as a placeholder for the eventual Seattle Kraken team. They're a pretty tough squad to beat since I just took the 5 best players from the Red Army team's history, so every player is 90+, and if they get hot, it's a tough match-up. Makarov, Kharlamov, and Tretiak make up their main group. Play through an 8 team playoff bracket, and then take on the Soviets at the very end to see if you have what it takes to be a champion! Like in NBA Jam TE, each team has 4 active skaters (and a goalie). The 0:00 Periods that take you straight to OT are in the game as the Sudden Death option in period length. This game is 100% mostly crash proof in normal play, which I think is somewhat nice for a 32 team and 2 on 2 ROM. No need to rush around to choose teams, or skip over the match-up screen anymore, which is nice (especially when it goes on my arcade stand). I tried to make the game feel arcadey, so the even-teams style from the normal 2 on 2 ROMs is out the window, and hot/cold is on. This also allows for handicapping if you're playing against someone worse than you (usually better than for me though ), and also gives each team/player a fun identity. I pumped this baby full of goofs, gags, and easter eggs. Some are just silly player cards, alternate jerseys, or graphics, but others may require a little bit of line editing to find... Required Thank Yous @smozoma was a big help in hunting down a lot of the hex values that needed to be changed, and answered a lot of my questions along the way. SmozROM and EARE also are always a big help on a project like this! @slapshot67 made the 32-team ROM base, which makes this possible in the first place. @Sauce's 2020 Playoff ROM was the working base for this since I had been slowly chipping away at it since summer, so a lot of the graphics were already there for me! Known Bugs The Sudden Death game style doesn't work in the playoffs, because of how the game treats OT compared to the Regular Season mode. There were some compromises to crash proof the game. The Player Cards screen on the in-game menu will crash the game. It has been changed to "DON'T OPEN", just to make sure it's avoided. Names show up twice on the main menu, because of the way that the Winnipeg Freeze Bug had to be stopped. Couldn't get rid of one without getting rid of the other either. Noted hockey expert Lazlow Holmes will not tell you who is hot or cold, since the game would sometimes try to pick player slots that didn't exist, crashing the game. The bonuses are still on, and you see them under the player image, just he won't tell you. Some of the center ice logos (Chicago and Ottawa come to mind) could be better. If you find anything at all, such as a bugged player card, incorrect number, or just want to complain, let me know.

That NHL'94.com logo is AWESOME

I feel you, I was a SNES guy myself until I started hacking/playing online in draft leagues and such. I thought about doing this on SNES because the sound/intro screen would've fit better on my arcade stand, but in all honesty, I just can't figure out how to hack it for the life of me, at least to the extent I am able to on Genesis. There's also no way to get things like 32 teams or custom logos as far as I know, which is a big turn off for me. Happy to hear you like it though, I have another one coming out at some point this week!

boom...i get to play on a line with @clockwise and @chaos

Yup NHL95, but it will be for the All-Star team of this site. NHL94.com

It's beautiful... But it's 95... Kinda like being on an adult site (by mistake) and you click the wrong thumbnail (by mistake).
