  1. My bad, I'm not used to seeing the SNES version & I saw "NHLPA" so I assumed. Is the SNES version easier to score in? 95 in 20 min periods seems like an extraordinary score. The Gen record on this site is 34 for 10 min periods. That seems like a hell of an increase.

    I haven't really touched that section in a while, I'll try to get it updated with other records people sent as well.

    I didn't want to sound pushy, but my 40 goal Gen game hasn't been posted. No big hurry, but I hope it'll make it on the site before it's broken :) Even though it seems paltry compared to the SNES numbers here.

  2. You could actually control the players during the brawls in MLH. Another cool aspect of fighting in the game was: if you win the fight, you would be excused from taking the penalty. In ice hockey, the two teams just mosh in at center ice.

    I know a lot of people that are fans of mutant league hockey. I never really got into it. This was probably due to the abysmal frame rate.

    Mutant League Hockey wasn't really bad. It certainly wasn't great. With the preceding games of mutant league football (pretty good game) and NHL, I really expected a lot better.

  3. I personally don't have the time to play an online league, but I think that longevity could be added by mixing up the teams. We DO have NOSE now. Why not have a system where you can only hold on to SOME of your players & throw the rest in a pool & have a draft for them where the losingest team picks first & the championship team plays last? After a few seasons I would think it would balance out. Do any leagues do this?

  4. I don't think it'll stop. People tend to think of trends and entertainment as it relates to age, but tendancies don't correlate with age so much as they relate to what the person grew up with. It seems strange that people our age will play video games when we're 70, but it probably seemed crazy that baby boomers & pre-baby boomers would still listen to young music like the Beatles & Elvis for so long.

    My grandparents liked the same hobbies they liked when they were young until they died. My parents still like the same hobbies they liked when they were young. I don't see why our generation would be any different.

  5. That game looks a lot like Mario Lemieux Hockey. Had it been possibleto actually aim the puck with some degree of accuracy, MLH would have been pretty good.

    I loved the fact that the whole team could have a brawl, I've yet to see another hockey game incorporate this kind of lunacy.

    I remember rock'n Blades of Steel on NES as a small fry. "Get the pass".The fights in that game were hilarious.

    Didn't "Ice Hockey" for the NES have full team brawls? Or am I imagining that?

  6. Ummmmmm I didn't say anything about the Canucks jerseys. Read more carefully.

    Unfortunately his skill in reading is no more advanced than his skill in typing.

    Are we talking about the same jerseys?

    It hurts my eyes just to look at it.

  7. IMO...

    1-Thou shalt NEVER lose to the computer

    2-Thou shalt always score a goal when the midway music starts in the 3rd

    3-Thou shalt never overestimate the power of the HABS

    4-Thou shalt never underestimate the power of the HABS

    5-Thou shalt always switch Howerchuk and Mogilny so that Dale sits on thy penalty kill

    6-Thou shalt always strive to injure the other team's star player(s) as soon as possible

    7-Thou shalt learn to skate into the ref as someone goes into the box, and then do it as much as possible

    8-Thou shalt knock down all of the opposing team's players after they score on you, and then spit on their coach

    9-Thou shalt drink much liquor while playing and sing along with the organ at least once in thy lifetime

    10-Thou shalt forever dream of the magical day when 50 goals in a ten minute period game becomes a reality

    Good list, except I never replace Mogilny. Also, is it acceptable to harrass the player going into the box instead of the ref?

  8. thegr8, its a cheap goal b/c it works every time. there is no other shot in the game which results in such a wide open goal and an easy shot every freaking time.

    also, it makes no sense that the goal is that wide open. really, why would the goalie not follow the player if he skates right in front of the crease. the goal is wide open every time. any other way of scoring takes a degree of skill or luck, whereas once you learn this trick you can find a wide open net every time.

    i realize there are things you can do to prevent the goal (manual goalie / defense), but its still bullshit.

    I don't understand. In the first paragraph you say it works every time, but in the last paragraph you say you can prevent it ???

  9. I don't recall any close game spectacular goals, because I can't remember the last time I played against another human, but as far as bizarre goals, I recall one lately...

    The computer had the puck taking it along the boards. Right at the red line I board checked him hard & it was one of those glitch board checks that sends the guy half way down the ice. So he went flying right along the red line & the puck flew backwards as hard as if I had shot it & it went right through their goalie's 5-hole for a goal.
