It's really good, nice job.

For those that like to have "groups" in their AIM client in order to see which players are online/available in GDL '93, here is a ".blt" file you can import into your AIM client. All 16 current managers are on the list. Couldn't attach to the post, so you may download from my dropbox. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/546632/GDL93.blt Cheers, Jer

Right on.. looking good..

Played a couple of games.. looks and plays really nice. Good job.

Random in year 1, reverse standings in year 2?

You did a great job king, did everything you could short of playing the games yourself. Nice job.

Good luck everyone.. facewash for luck.

The last minute of game 4 is GAA! ..and game-saving goalie move with 10 secs left was GAAmazing!!!!

There is a torrent available if you're into that sort of thing..

Team: Toronto Maple Leafs First Line G - Grant Fuhr LD - Niklas Lidstrom RD - Eric Weinrich LW - Brett Hull C - Jeremy Roenick RW - Kirk Muller X - Tony Granato Second Line G - Sean Burke LD - Mikhail Tatarinov (change to #28 - wore with Bruins) RD - Eric Weinrich LW - Brett Hull C - Kirk Muller RW - Tony Granato X - Claude Lemieux

I voted yes, but would like to clarify that I think that every team should have at least one fighter who would be automatically subbed in in the event of an injury (if not on your starting line-up).

Looks great.. I think weight-bug fix is a must, especially if we are required to have a bruiser in your starting line-up. I also have no problem with a GM/coach, if anything, there will be more accountability to get games played.

Rule proposal: How about everyone has to draft a forward and defenceman with a 10+ fight stat. If these players aren't in your starting line-up, then they are placed in the positions that will be immediately subbed in due to penalty or injury (RW2 and RD2?). Perhaps in the rom an "F" could be added to the fighters names for easy identification. There are 82 players in the rom with a 10+ fight stat (50F, 32D), of which 20 or so are 1st line options.

AIM: hockeyboards@gmail.com I'm generally able to play Tues/Wed evenings, but look for me after 9 any night. Northstars have some games to make up...

..sorry, that's a cyber backhoe.

The dpad is the real difference, and you've got that on your genesis pad. The genesis pad would rate closely I believe.

* sly bump - still looking for players...

Features: Classic 6 button layout 8-way Directional Pad 2x shoulder buttons Ergonomic design Price: $75-$100+ Availability: New and used on Amazon, eBay Stores, Japanese Import Sites Review: Reissued in 2004, these Saturn USB pads were designed for use on PC/MAC, so they require little or no setup on your computer. They are solidly built and have one of the best dpads in the business. This gamepad is in extremely high demand, and given its limited production it is very hard to find. On ebay you'll find them anywhere from $60-$200, averaging around $90. This will put it out of the price range of most players, so your best bet is to keep your eye out for a deal on ebay, amazon or on the shelf of your local pawn shop. Borrowing it's design and layout from the original 90's Saturn gamepad (and it's PS2 reissue), the ergonomic shape will feel very familiar. It's a touch smaller than the original Sega 6-button pad for the Genesis, and I would imagine that if you have big hands that it might feel a bit small. The buttons and the dpad have not been rivaled by any 3rd party controllers in my opinion. The dpad is tight, allowing for precise movements and the buttons have a nice jump to them. With reference to NHL '94, this is the king of controllers. Ability to make tight moves, quick stops and turns and tight goalie control. It just feels so familiar to press the rubbery start button, and mash away at the indented ABC buttons. I feel that with some practice, this controller could very well improve a players game. There are several versions of this pad. There is the original Saturn version which requires a USB adapter, the PS2 version which requires it's own USB adapter, and finally this natively USB version. WARNING: There are a variety of knock-offs with very similar designs (Retrolink, GTron,Playsega), so before you make a purchase off ebay be sure to ask if there is a "SLS" sticker on the back. Without a box, this sticker is the only thing that will differentiate the real thing from the knock-offs. There were a variety of colour combinations made during their 2004 production run, so don't be surprised to find some wacky combinations. This is my favourite controller as of now, though admittedly will take a while to get used to the responsiveness. I look forward to playing many Classic games in the future with the Saturn USB in my hands. On a scale of 1-10, I will be rating this one a 9.5. (I would give it a 10, but nothing is ever perfect..)

Great name.. good luck.

For the Leafs fans...

Thx. I plan to wait until Classic is done, and see if the '93 league fills up before exploring a new startup. Otherwise, rumour has it that the NHL '13 league is one and done.

I agree with the DNP penalties, maybe there should also be a minimum GP amount - particularly against your own division.

Any leagues taking new players? Anyone looking to start a new league and would like some help? Any interest in a salary cap league ('94, '12)? Maybe it's the lockout, but I'm itching to draft my own team and play some games.. .. who's in? jer_33

I'm putting together a spreadsheet w/ links to all of the roms.. here's a link with some recommendations: http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/14776-the-definitive-list-of-nhl94-roms/
