I'm hammering away at one as well. I'm embarrassed to say my splash screen looks VERY similar to von Osborne's, but that's where the similarities end. While von Osbourne tries to rip people off by accepting pre-orders for a scam product that you can buy on AliExpress for $0.01, I am going 100% FREEMIUM this year, with the most realistic version of NHL94 ever conceived. I've obsessively located the code for every goal / penalty / penalty shot / injury announcement box, and used them to deliver a non-stop parade of in game advertising for sports gambling. And while von Osborne claims that the widescreen patch doesn't work with expanded ROMs, I have entered into an exclusive 10-year agreement with a sports gambling company to deliver a proprietary widescreen view that will constantly deliver real-time betting odds in the extra screen space to the left and right. Most importantly, as an important service to the NHL94.com community, Ron Barr will now warn the player to gamble responsibly and play within their limits. I will also be offering a "Classic" version without gambling ads, available exclusively with a monthly subscription to a Premium NHL94.com+ forum membership, for only $9.99 month.* Meanwhile, von Osbourne's promises to do NOTHING to help people suffering from gambling addiction, an all too real growing scourge on our society.
* $9.99 per month when pre-paid (which is different than pre-ordering) $119.88 annually. Cost without annual contract is $14.99 per month. Monthly roster updates will be made available as paid DLC, or included in the $249.99 season's pass. Prices subject to change without notice. Please play responsibly.
