  5. I pretty much stopped trying after the first period and my checking line was out for most of the 3rd period because of the Auto Line Changes. In one or two games my checking line got scored on so I had to edit my lines to make my checking line my first line and 1st line my 2nd line. That wasn't necessary in the championship game. Just trying to put on a good show.
  6. Thanks DynamiteSJ! Ordered one last week and it's awesome.
  7. If "the most interesting nhl 94 player in the world" makes you "bud of the year" i think your children will be blessed with double-jointed golden GA thumbs... or something like that definitely something you can put on a Resume. Cheers! Great job, guys.
  8. Ok... Here's the official write-up... Wookiee Goes Undefeated in Jose Pistola's Winter Classic NHL 94 Invitational January 2, 2012 First of all, I must say that the guys at Jose Pistola's bar did a great job. Most of us in the online community frowned upon Auto Line Changes and Offsides On, but the rules ended up having little affect on the actual games. Offsides seemed to slow down offenses, which may have resulted in more overtime games which made things pretty exciting. The first round we played with 10 minute periods, but every other round was 5 minute periods until the final because it was taking too long. About 30 people showed up to play, which was a lot more than I expected even though the facebook page had over 30 RSVPs. There were also a lot of people there who had no idea what NHL 94 was. It was a pretty awesome scene. 2 TVs upstairs, and 1 TV downstairs had NHL 94, while a couple other TVs showed college football and then the Rangers Flyers Winter Classic on NBC. The Rules: Every game starts with a coin toss. The winner choses their team first. The other player could choose any other team and plays as the home team. Choosing teams was a major element of strategy, because you couldn't choose the same team twice (unless you went to the loser's bracket at which point it would reset). Game 1 Los Angeles Kings 13 @ Chicago Blackhawks 4 This was actually a close game in the first period. The score was 4-4 at one point, then I scored 9 in a row. Gretzky, Sandstrom, Robitaille, Granato had big games. After everyone played their first game, the organizers created a winners bracket and a loser's bracket. Seeding was determined by goal differential. Since I was +9, I got #1 seed, and a bye to the next round. Good system (even though they didn't tell us about it until later). Game 2 Detroit Red Wings 4 @ Chicago Blackhawks 0 After choosing Detroit, I was a little annoyed when my opponent picked Chicago in the 2nd consecutive game. Didn't matter. Next. Game 3 Pittsburgh Penguins 2 @ New York Rangers 7 Finally, I get home advantage and my opponent picks Pittsburgh first. Most of us know that Pittsburgh sucks in GENS, so you can imagine that I was pretty happy. Since this was during the Rangers-Flyers Winter Classic Game, and since I'm a huuge Rangers fan, I choose the Rangers. Next thing I know, I'm down 1-0 on the first shot of the game. I switch out the 'Beezer for Richter in net, but other things are going wrong. The buttons on the controller are sticking. I'm getting nervous. Mike Gartner is not dominating how I want him to. Messier is feeling heavy. I'm regretting not choosing Buffalo. Then I get in the groove and score a bunch of goals. Next! I should also say that this was the moment when my college buddy got eliminated. He went 2-2 overall, even though he hadn't played NHL '94 in about 15 years. He had played back in the day, and we played some warmup games at his place in Philly the night before. Game 4 - Winner's Bracket Final Chicago Blackhawks 5 @ Toronto Maple Leafs 2 I had been saving up Chicago and Montreal, and now I finally get to use JR, Belfour, Chelios and the boys. Sutter comes through with a clutch goal. Toronto gets a lot of penalties. NEXT! Game 5 - Championship Montreal Canadiens 11 @ Calgary Flames 0 Scheduled for immediately after the Rangers-Flyers real life game was over, there was still a pretty good crowd at the bar. The Winter Classic, by the way, was a great game. Lundqvist stops a penalty shot with 20 seconds left to preserve a 3-2 come from behind victory. GO RANGERS! On to the '94... It was pure domination. I scored at least 2 double shorthanded goals, and at least 4 shorthanded goals overall. Kind of anti-climactic, but Montreal plays great defense and the Savard / Lebeau line was unstoppable. Philly is a hostile environment for a New York sports fan... but considering that I was a Rangers fan wearing Rangers colors (I left my Messier jersey at home, but wore a blue and red shirt), rooting for the Rangers, and the Rangers beat the Flyers earlier... everybody was pretty cool, and it was all in fun. It seemed like every time somebody called out a wise-crack remark like "F--- you, Rangers Fan!" during the final game, I scored a beauty... so I didn't really mind. At one point, someone said "He's a silent killer" because I wasn't really talking any smack. I was mainly focused on the game, but made an effort to represent myself, New York / New Jersey, and the organ-i-zation (NHL 94 Online community) in a classy and respectful way. After the game, I won a beer gift basket from Allagash Brewery. I commended the organizer, Casey, for doing a great job, and told everybody to check out nhl94.com. As a token of my appreciation, I gave Casey the NHL2012 ROM, which DynamiteSJ put on an old school cartridge for me. They loved it. Much thanks to DynamiteSJ for getting that to me quickly because it was a late decision for me to make the trip. Also, much thanks to Smozoma, Clockwise, and everybody else who was involved in producing the ROM (sorry of I'm missing anybody). Halifax, thank you so much for sharing this event with everyone on the forum. Also gotta thank everybody here in the community. My '94 game has really picked up in the last few months, and it's because of all you guys. Cheers. Happy New Year!
  9. does he realize that a game is 3 periods? hahaha... "no glitches in NHL 94 except the wrap-around"... lots of classic nhl 94 wisdom. seriously, the dude is in such a state of glee and confusion that it made me laugh.

  11. I agree with Jay. Offsides sucks. Slows the game down, and contributes to the computer's AI stupidity factor ruining offensive flow. I like line changes in '12, but I generally think it's more fun to play your best 5 players all game with no fatigue.
  12. Are there statistics for PP % so we can compare NHL 94 to real life hockey stats? Another interesting stat would be SH Goal %, which I'm sure is much higher in NHL 94.

  15. LOL. I just exi'd against the computer for a few minutes with auto changes and you are totally right. AUTO SUCKS!
  16. Why in Mark Lesser's name would a purist play with AUTO LINE CHANGES? C'mon Man. Now the question becomes... who is the best team to choose with these extra GA rules? I'm thinking my top 4 teams in order would be Montreal, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York Rangers... Chicago, Vancouver, Buffalo, Calgary, Quebec, Winnipeg, Toronto also under consideration. Anyone have thoughts on this? Has there been a ranking of classic teams with line changes?
  17. Here's an email exchange I had with the guy running it. He says we are all panzees. Too bad this is in Philly. Philly sucks. LOL JK. ------------------------------------------ Casey Parker kswa20@yahoo.com to me 11:16 PM (50 minutes ago) No entry fee. I'm a purist, 10 minute periods. Penalties and off sides and auto line changes are on. Any thing else is for panzees.
