We should introduce this guy to kgman...unless he IS kgman!!!

What do you have against offsides? The blue line adds a strategic element to the game.

I theorize that Kaillera locks down a lot of an emulator's options while it's active. For example, you can't just start a game while Kaillera is open, and you can't set joystick controls while Kaillera's up. I suspect that the same mechanism is prevent save states while Kaillera is running.

Uh, the point of emulation is that it's 100% the same game, cuz you're using the same game code as the cartridge. Now, the EA version may or may not be emulated, but we're definitely playing it emulated over at www.nhl94online.com and www.nhlgamer.com. Now, you might mean that it's not the same controllers (though there exist USB converters for modern gamepads, including, I believe, the Genesis), or that the Genesis emulators aren't 100% perfect (but I can't find anything wrong with Gens), but you're starting to nitpick at that point, which you may not have reached. So in conclusion, I'm 12-2 in games against the Western Conference in the North American NHL '94 league, and everyone else in my conference is getting pummeled by the West, so I must rule. swos owns me.

Just posting the double assist I pulled off in a league match tonight (I know this one's already on the bugs list). It was a one-timer, as described in the bug listing. Kinda weird, though, as Recchi passed to Lindros, who took the one-timer. I believe the puck hit Brind'Amour, but I don't remember if he took possession (though I think he did) before the puck went into the net.

Looks like kaillera.com is back up and running.

Anyone had this one before? It appears to me that I scored (the game-winner, incidentally) at the exact moment that time expired. After the usual few seconds it takes the game to restart after a goal, we went straight to the postgame menu screen (no 3 stars, no longer delay at the end of the game.) The first screenshot on the ice is dark because I didn't think to take the screenshot until the screen had nearly faded to the menu. The second one is just to show the official timing on the goal.

All I can say is that you can go behind your own net and let the puck hit the back of your net when you hit A so that it doesn't go flying down the ice.

Professor Frink, Professor Frink, he'll make you laugh, he'll make you think He likes to run, and then the thing, with the mmm person... Oh boy, that monkey is going to pay.

Where the hell have you been, anyway?

That was on the AHL '05 ROM we've been using for the summer league.

This one happened a few nights ago. I was playing against Depch, and he had an unsuccessful attack. The puck went back up the ice, and my keeper had definitely been run into by one or two guys during the play. When Depch brought the puck back down, the keeper was gone. He did a classy thing and forced a faceoff with his own goalkeeper, and when he brought the puck back down after the faceoff, we saw what's in the screenshot. What we didn't do (sadly) was see if the keeper would act normally (i.e. make saves) despite his, um, "reversed" condition.

I'll go over the kgman-Tick matches as well. We played the first one a few weeks ago, original ROM, no offsides, I believe no line changes, and he beat me 5-0. We played two more a couple of nights ago, AHL 2005 ROM, offsides, line changes, I beat him 10-5. We played a second game that night, same rules, and he won 6-5.

Where have you gone kgman? A NHL '94 nation turns it lonely eyes to you.... Seriously, if you wanted to win 8-0 instead of 6-0, now's the time, since I got beaten up pretty nicely by one of the Fins yesterday.

The trap is set. Yes, how dare we play with offsides and penalties, you know, the way that actual pro hockey is. What are we thinking? I blame swos.

With the sudden and mysterious departure of kgman from the NHL '94 scene, I can only assume that the threat of losing his title to me was too much for his mind to handle. So I'll declare myself the new Greatest of All Time (North American edition) and throw the floor open to challenges on my completely baseless throne. Games will be played with 5 minute periods, penalties and offsides, and line changes (so do your homework). We can use the unedited NHL '94 rom, since I won't ask someone new to use a custom rom if they only know the original one.

I hope this isn't it, kg. The Fins have been imploring me to smash you all weekend, and what the Fins want, the Fins get. You'll have to do better than an email address, though.

No AIM? Geez, do you hang out on IRC anywhere? Email is no medium through which to schedule games. Defensive .............that was trash talking .......i guess europeans are gentlemently about that sort of thing ...Ask Wopap or even look at the transcript to find out how much of it I do .......but I also let actions speak louder than words .........AHL 2005 i didnt even know they made that version yet lol .........come u dont like the original ....the thing is i would have to find a team that personifies my supreme ability ......in the original i have a set line for every team that i play against I done that much research... its not only that I have the talent but the brains to utilize it to the max ..........U dont have a team that u use in the orginal ...........tell u what well play one seies or original ill beat 4 straight add to my legacy (aka make u a victim) then we could ahl 2005 for fun ...............my email kmgharibo@yahoo.ca

Thicknest? Uh, look again. C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y. Good. In any case, wow, I just asked if you were going to take on anyone else after your boasting, and you got *really* defensive. The correct thing to do would be to show willingness to play me (or someone like me), but not make it sound as though you feel threatened (as if I were just the buzzing of a fly). Nonetheless, I am quite willing to accept your challenge and your rules. However, if you get to pick the rules, I get to pick the ROM, and I choose the AHL 2005 ROM we're using in our (surprise) AHL 2005 season right now. A champion such as yourself should have no trouble adjusting. I will supply you with the ROM at your leisure and give you ample time to practice with it (assuming you ever supply some contact information.) Oh, and I haven't dominated "those boys in Finland". I've won some, lost some more, and deal with a ping disadvantage, but I took on that disadvantage willingly, and I've thoroughly enjoyed playing with them, which, honestly, is the best reason of all to play. The winning and the losing are important, but I wouldn't play if I didn't like it, and I've asked you to play since you seem willing to take on all comers, and I'd like to find more games against people in North America. Wait, you said "your gonna open a can of whoop ass the likes of which u havnt not been exposed too". You mean that I'm going to open up a can of whoop ass so potent that I myself have yet to use it? Wow, you flatter me, but I'll take it. We're not friends. But we're not enemies, either. I'd just like to get to know you better before I make a decision on you. How's your winning streak against chimpanzees? I actually draw my inspiration from James "Buster" Douglas's victory over Mike Tyson.

So that's it, kgman? You won't take on anyone else? You've declared yourself the G-O-A-T? I'd expect more from the G-O-A-T.

5 minute periods are better. The games don't take as long and there's less chance of a desync. My correctness is surpassed only by my eloquence.

If they enable online play in NHL '94, I think I would buy the game solely for that (since many, many more people would play it online then than do now.)

Your diction is legendary and your words sublime. I spend my days and nights contemplating how I can possibly measure up to you in any way. You will truly be a future legend.

Your achievements are outstanding and will be sung of by generations to come. I congratulate you on your victory on behalf of the peoples of the world. This will be a future legend.

Yes, yes, we know, we know. Now suppose that an individual, say, me, wanted to get in touch with either one of you to play? How would that individual do that? I see no contact information on either of your profiles. The following are good excuses/rationalizations for losing in online play (not that you'll need them): 1. I'd be smashing you if it weren't for this lag. 2. All your goals are cheap. 3. My controller's broken. Everyone thinks they're the absolute best ever until they go online and start playing against people who've been playing online for a while. I thought I was really good at Tecmo Super Bowl until I started playing in leagues online against people who actually were really good. It gets better with experience, though. Don't ever judge a player by a single game, btw. Wow, that got a little out of hand.
