I agree that NHL92-96 are amazing. and i know NHL95PC is a lot like NHL94 on genesis, only improved, but without ability to be manual goalie. don't get me wrong i love NHL95 on PC, and some of the other genesis games.
I like NHL95PC, but there are certain limitations to the game compared to the genesis games. the two button control system is a little odd, considering i have a controller with 10 buttons! also, to ability to be a manual goalie! (even with only 2 buttons, you should be able to switch to goalie by holding down switch player!) also i wish there was a bigger (wider or longer) rink in NHL95PC (like the international size rink). i think if you had a bigger rink the game would be more fun, and more able to be played with a slower clock.
after not playing this engine for a long time, I installed NHL95 PC again, and the clock issue bugged me. mainly because, well with the clock moving so fast, power plays are very short. i thought i remembered on one of the genesis games the ability to choose between actual minutes or minutes fast forwarded counting down from 20:00, but maybe it was PS2.
