  1. it is tough to score it is usually off a weird bounce or a perfect one timer taking a wrist or slap shot works 5% If that now sounds like hockey πŸ’ but a little too simulation style especially if you just playing around with your mates it is usually in some glitchy way you score like goalie gets stuck on net πŸ₯… or fails to even move also the floater goal is dirty but works still πŸ˜€πŸ’πŸ₯…

  2. Hello NHL95 Fanatics!!! Im bring you a database of games. A long project but an important one for the history of the NHL, and preNHL leagues as well. Cause that is where the roots lie, in the NHA, ECHA, MPHL, PCHA, WPHL, WHA, IIPHL, and so on. Ive created the beginning of this projected and wanted to share with everyone with time specific rosters, ratings, teams, arenas, rinks, logos, and much more. - The roms will span the history of hockey in North America from 1908-09 to present date. - Teams specific to each season and their actual schedules of that season (side note, when playing season mode, please allow about 10 seconds to allow the mode to start) - Logos, Arenas, Player Cards, Jerseys and even players with no helmets including the goalies. A huge thanks goes out to a few members @von Ozbourne @kingraph and others. 1908-09.bin 1909-10.bin 1910-11.bin 1911-12.bin

  3. Hi Friends, Eldritch here, from Whitehorse, Yukon. I coached in the New Players League and had a blast, squeaking into the playoffs at 7th and getting my Habs promptly swept by Detroit. Looking forward to improving alongside you all in the Classic League!

  5. you're the best Adam. Thanks. A couple of things you forgot. In your wishlist: Make a Sega CD version. Or get the sega CD music to work on the genesis version. Isn't the SCD version the exact same game as nhl94 with added videos and better music, etc?

  6. The mad genius strikes again! Love how you are able to visually make these look like entirely different games.

  10. Wow, what an experience this was! I haven't been to a live NHL94 tournament since 2 of these ago. And this one was much better than even that one was. The setup and the people were TOP NOTCH. Thanks Trojan and Leif for doing all you did. Thanks to everyone who helped! And SEGA for being sega. (And EA for saving me :) )

  11. Mutant League Hockey and Mutant League Football are two of the greatest creations that mankind has ever come up with. The only things rivaling them are NHL 94 and the wheel. The wheel comes in at a distant 4th place.

  13. Alright, time for a return to an old series, but this time with a little bit of a twist. The "retro review" is going to be about a "re-release turned prequel" of a "fan favourite" series. It all started with a game originally released in Japan, where the sequel saw a North American localization and new title, but dropped the "2" in order to not confuse the silly English speakers. [Think the Mother/Earthbound or New Hot-Blooded Tough Guy/River City Ransom/Girls series] This game, with it's original Japanese title of BIGGUSHOTTO NO PURO AISUHOKKΔ’ has the literal translation of: Big Shot's Pro Ice Hockey. Apparently being a pun of a "Big Shot" being both a "Star Player" and "Booming Slapshot". But when SNK decided to release the sequel two years later, it was localized to English as Hockey Stars. Now, with remastering and releasing older games being in vogue, it became necessary to fix the numbering to show that this was an earlier game. So with that, we subtract 1 from the original Japanese Mega Drive release and localize it to a North American SEGA Genesis release as: SNK kept the original low resolution opening screen, but spruced up the title screen in this translation. The main menu shows the design similarity to its baseball counterpart, while highlighting that this is a much more exciting and fast moving sport. The player [or two] can select from 16 teams with names you will recognize from the NES Baseball Stars or the NEO*GEO Baseball Stars Professional. Game options include a single game, a 16 team, single elimination tournament or a best-of-7 playoff to win the golden goblet. This nonchalant fellow is showing off how many goals he scored. The games are preceded by a cameo of Athena [another SNK character] introducing the match, the two competitors and their starting lines. For context, Eikichi Arena is named for SNK founder Kawasaki Eikichi. and "Shin Nihon" is literally "New Japan" and is also what the "SN" in "SNK" stands for. This will become relevant later. The team introductions are a bit on the nose, we'll blame that on the localization team. Once you're in the game, you are looking at an in-game menu/jumbotron, similar to the later games. In addition to the basic stats and summaries, you can view and edit the lines, where you can note that the players all still have their single name identities, accompanied by their uniform number and playing position. Oh look, its the logo of the Eikichi Arena in Shin Nihon on that Zamboni. I wonder if the sprites were compressed and they had to keep the original Japanese initialization. The AI simulates a full night of games. Each of the 16 teams seems to have an "A" and a "B" squad. Wonder if that is like a minor league affiliation thing. You don't seem to be able to play as the "B" teams though... No trademark player photos in this one, or building your team up with trades and training upgrades, which is a bit of a drag, but I guess that is why it's a prequel and not a sequel. What about the asterisk? [61*] Finally on to game play, we see SNK slyly gets their branding in there. We also see blood. Something that was removed for the North American "1" version. Probably at the behest of parents' groups rather than the kids that would have played this one. Don't know if that low wall between the benches would be much help if the teams were inclined to be a little more "supportive" of their probably concussed team mate. But it's fine, the trainer will stitch him up and he'll be back on the ice after the intermission. Happened to catch this replay. Nice shot of a nice shot on net. With the old school square crease, even though that was being phased out with a semi circle being added around the square three seasons earlier. And with the final whistle in the final game of the Finals, the golden cup is awarded. With three Canadian All-Stars getting the accolades. As for game play, the first noticeable thing is that the players have the same sort of specific attributes that they had in the later games, so some players are wildly min/maxed for specific roles. Some practice and adaptability will likely be needed to get the most out of your team, but if you enjoy a challenge, this is the game for you. Rating: Two and a half thumbs up. ...wait, what does that even mean. [what my mom always said would happen if I play too much NHL'94] Hockey Stars 0.bin
