TK - if you could download the newest version, and run it just to see if MD - NHL94 is on the list.. that would be great.

I'm curious of a few things. 1. Obviously, how easy the set-up is. 2. How good the emulator is (based on it's popularity for fight games, I'm guessing it has to play well). 3. If it is better than Kaillera for lag/inputs etc... 4. For fights games, I think the site will track wins/losses.. I'm assuming it would do the same for sports titles. lots to think about...

Fightcade is basically a match-making program, a lobby for fight game enthusiasts. On the backend it uses an emulator called FBA, which was designed to run MAME games (actual ports of arcade games). It also uses a different technology to play P2P (GGPO), one that is supposed to be easier to set-up (no issues with routers, and no need to port forward). Recently it has been updated/upgraded to Fightcade 2, which promises many enhancements, specifically the addition of Sega Genesis emulation. On the reddit page for this project (it is in BETA as of Oct 27), I found a copy of the supported roms. NHLPA93, NHL 94-98 were all there, not to mention NBA Jam, Madden etc.. As it is in beta, it can only be tested by folks with older accounts (you need to register to play on Fightcade). Anyone here a member of Fightcade since 2014? We need a tester!

For the record, I only had 1 keeper last season (Messier). I do think that we should scale the retro guys back to 1/team, and/or limit the number of good retro players. The A guys are still putting together really good teams, without having to worry that they cannot keep them.

Hurts me to do this, but will take.. aaggghhhh.. BOS.

I believe @Depch just got tired of the international lag. He's still active on the boards, just stepping away from leagues.

So my first hope was to get something out before the Classic deadline, which I've missed. My second hope was to get something out to try and dig up some veterans to play in skip's VHL5 league.. could still happen. I tried to put this together in 'private', editing an old post so that it wouldn't trigger as a reply.. but that didn't happen. So here we are.. I don't think this edition should be sent out any further than the boards.. but would like ideas and confirmation from the board admins, whether this is something we could email out to forum members in the future (perhaps quarterly, or for special events)? Also ideas of how that could happen? As for the content of the newsletter itself, I'm pretty satisfied with what I could put together in a couple of days.. future editions I'd be able to gather content over days/months. But if the expectation was that the newsletter would have a better formatting, or perhaps full-length articles.. I just don't currently have the time or expertise to pull off anything bigger. I feel the best idea would be to have editions of the newsletter as their own edition thread, where people could comment with additional content, as well as help point out any corrections. This 'forum edition' could be put together over a 2 week span, after which time it could be emailed to everyone. What does everyone think? Opinions? P.S. is there a link or thread with the 32-team rom template?

View From the Booth v.1 Oct 31, 2017 Welcome to the inaugural edition of the official NHL94.com newsletter. We hope to keep everyone informed of all that is happening in our gaming scene, with a top-down look at events, leagues, forum happenings and Discord chatter. The view from the broadcast booth is often worse than some cheap seats in the arena, but journalists require a sweeping vantage point to see everything that is happening in the game. It seemed a suitable name for a newsletter that hopes to provide a bird's eye view of NHL94 and all of it's retro hockey siblings, so take a minute to get caught up with this edition of View From the Booth . If you were lucky enough to attend the King of 94 II tournament in Las Vegas, then you likely already know the outcomes. If not, let me just say that it was an incredible display of Sega/Genesis mastery. On the Sega-side, the most probable finals outcome played out with @kingraph and @angryjay93 meeting in the final game, with Jay pulling out a 5-3 win with Detroit over Raph's Buffalo squad. On the Super Nintendo bracket, we again witnessed the ascension of a relative unknown (at least to NHL94.com community). @Jammer - KO94IIsnes was able to punch his ticket to the finals versus @Bob Kudelski and win it all with an incredible 4-3 OT victory. If you wish to relive the final hours of the tournament, including some great commentating and celebratory laps you can watch the replay on Twin Galaxies Twitch stream here. With the build-up and successful staging of King of 94 II in Las Vegas NV now behind us, Fall leagues are starting to fill-up as player interest returns. Along with interest in preseason hockey and the eventual puck-drop on the NHL season, NHL94 players are returning to the site with hopes of building on last seasons successes and again proving themselves on the ice. Now is the time to get your name in for Classic, whether a seasoned veteran, a site lurker, or new to the site.

Sorry guys, was working on a template for a forum newsletter, and decided to use an old post in order not to fuss up the forums.. but didn't seem to work. Obviously, ideas and criticisms are welcomed. Thought maybe, once we get this hashed out, we could have the posts pinned in the forum for easy access. Again, sorry for the confusion.

Def worth somewhere between 70-100 dollar$!

I think you'd really like how the draft works in this league Coach (Blind bid, with limited rounds to fill out a 28-man roster). I've been playing since KOHL4 (with one or two seasons a calendar year). The coach-only game suits the hockey-sim crowd more than the retro player, but it's the only hockey sim I know of that you can watch your games live streamed from Finland. Also NHL95PC has an awesome number of utilities, the rosters are regularly updated, and the uniforms have many more options for alteration (and have logos on the front). If it had goalie control, it'd be superior to NHL94 IMO.

Well, then we need to give the ladder rankings! Superstar, All-Star, Beer-league plug, Pylon... Ladder league would certainly become a great resource for splitting A/B division leagues in the future.. MOAR DATA!

Played NHL Hockey on my first real PC. Wish I could remember the specs on that baby. There was a company in town that used to rent PC games.. not sure how they got away with it - I suppose the customers signed something stating that they would delete the game once returned. Played a lot of great PC titles that I otherwise could not have afforded.

I'll sign-up, and try to get some games (Sega only) like this done during Classic.
