Very cool idea! I think a Tourney is a great idea to film as well. My childhood friends and I do a tourney every year (but with NHL 95). And now in our mid 30's its the only time we all get together barring a major event like a wedding or funeral.
I would show them that ESPN did a documentary on Tecmo Super Bowl and the large Tourney they do.
As you already know, there is a lot of nostalgia for these games. Everyone has fond memories of them.
Here's my Finnish Buddy's Mockumentary on his NHL 95 Tourney in Finland for a laugh.

Great Job on Quiz. Very cool. 9/10 from me. Missed the player born after 94 was released.

Such a great vid Aki!
It has rekindled the NHL 95 fever!
And can we lay off the 94 vs 95 pissing match? The whole NHL 16 bit series is great. This online community would grow if we share the love of this series.

Jeremy Roenick sucker punched Craig Berube during one of JR's first years in the NHL. Chief had to wait over a decade to get Roenick back.
Jeremy Roenick was on WIP on Monday, and he told the story of when Craig Berube punched him in the face in the Flyers locker room. It all started at some point between 1990 and 1993, when Chief was a tough guy with the Flyers and Roenick was a young star with the Blackhawks, and it ended a decade later when both were in Philadelphia.
Here's the story, as told by Roenick:
***
Back when I played for the Hawks, I ran Ron Hextall in the crease and Holmgren wasn't very happy with me. Sent Berube out to teach me a lesson.
So he chased me around for a period and he finally caught me in the third period and he challenged me to a fight, kind of grabbed me.
When a super star gets grabbed back then, everybody jumps in so it became a five-on-five melee. The referee grabs Craig's arms and kind of has him in an arm lock but my right arm is totally free. So I had this choice to make. Do I hit him -- you know, defenseless guy -- or do I not?
Well, being a young guy and this guys much bigger than me, I chose to slug him, and I spin him so hard.
For two or three years, every time we played the Flyers, every time I would jump on the ice, Craig would stand up on the bench and start yelling at one of his players to get off the ice because he wanted to get on the ice to chase me around. He would jump on the ice and chase me around and I would skate to the bench, and he would skate right to the bench and say "JR, I'm gonna f'n catch you, I'm gonna beat the tar out of you, I'm gonna get you one of these days." He did it for like two or three years.
So fast forward to when I'm in Philly and they hire Chief to a minor league contract where he's gonna be player/coach. And the Phantoms locker room and the Flyers locker room, they're connected together. Chief obviously feels very comfortable because he's been part of the organization for a long time.
So he comes into the Flyers locker room where I'm getting ready and was just hangin out in the locker room and I go "Hey, Chief, what's goin' on?" and he goes "Hey JR, what's goin on-- BOOM." Just slugs me. Just cracks me. And I kinda went down on one knee and I get up and he goes "I told ya I'd get ya."
And believe it or not, we played golf later that day. With me, Boosh, Tocc and Chief.

Yup, I'll post it here when Its done.
The guy that wins like 75% of these things won it again. Drinking makes him stronger.

Fun times, the "Madison Rules" where you call the match up and the other player chooses which team was pretty fun and I think will be kept for future tourneys.
Before the rule, a lot of guys used the Blackhawks and Wings exclusively in the tourney. But with the match-up calling people stayed away from calling the top teams, it was a lot of mediocre match ups called, but turned out to be some pretty fun games. You have to play different when using San Jose instead of Chicago.

I'll have a limo pick you up at the airport

Having our tourney again this year on Friday. Follow updates on https://twitter.com/segathon
Doing Madison Rules this year for team selection should add some strategy to the games(we added a drinking twist to it). See Below
1. Team Selection & Dice Roll: Players will both roll 1 di before each game. The dice winner will choose the match-up (i.e. the two teams). The dice loser then selects either (a) one of the two teams or
(
his preferred controller(going up or down on the screen). If the dice loser selects his preferred controller, the coin-flip winner selects a team from the match-up.2. “One Match-up Once” Rule: The dice winner can only select a particular match-up once throughout the entire tournament. For instance, if Player A wins the toss and selects Detroit vs Chicago, Player A cannot call that exact match-up for the rest of the tournament. Player B, however, is free to select that match-up later in the tournament.
3. In the event of a dice tie, players will drink, person who continually drinks the longest gets to pick the match up.Here's a few Strategy tips:
Playing a ringer? Pick two crappy teams and stink your way to an upset win
Playing some cannon fodder? Pick an uneven matchup that you know you will still win at.
Don't know which team? Pick the Good side (Team 2 that goes UP for two periods)
Playing a guy who likes one timers? Pick two teams with no one-timer guy. -

Bumping this old topic. Found site called ssega.com
Looks like you can play two players also. Anybody try playing two players. May be a way to get more people online as there are less hurdles to go through

Love the speed and control on 95. But the Goalies I think are softer in 95 once you master the moves.

Way to keep 95 Alive!

Yeah I was hoping for a total retro game that you could play online. That would be huge, there is just too much of a learning curve for a lot of people to get the emulator going, hosting etc. Have tried to get my buds to play online but get the deer and the headlights stare when I start talking the technical stuff. It isn't that bad once you get used to it but the first few times are not fun.
I still think it is cool they did a retro mode, it isn't for us die hards, but for the casual nhl94 guys it may get them googling and hopefully they will wind up here on the NHL94 boards.

Little surprised to hear you think Tecmo is deeper. I can't really speak to that as I'm not knowledgeable enough in Tecmo. Just seems like the constant action, speed, simultaneous offense and defensive awareness, switching players, no set plays/formations, etc. would make '94 the more strategic game, but again, I'm not qualified to make that assessment (YET).
Suffice to say, there is no doubt that these are the top 2 sports games of all time...they both have their dedicated sites and leagues after 20+ years!!!
Yeah I guess how I would explain it is the "drones" the guys the cpu controls do more variation in tecmo. You kind of always have an idea where the center is going to wind up in NHL when he is a drone, while in Tecmo with the plays the drones do different actions on each play (WR goes deep on this play, DB's won't cover on some plays, guys get boost/descrease in ability according to what play you pick.

Pretty great list. Love how Mike Tysons, NHL and Tecmo were the top ones.
I have been playing a lot of tecmo lately and they are both great games. I think NHL 94 loses to tecmo for a couple reasons.
1. NHL is not as big as the NFL so less people played it.
2. NHL series release a version every year while Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES wan't a yearly release. So NHL'ers split their vote a bit between all the great games.
Game Play is great on both games, but Tecmo is a bit deeper as you have to figure out how to stop each play (8 plays to choose from in the game, and you can pick a variation of plays before the game starts) In NHL 94, while still deep, there are less plays you need to stop. I think NHL 94 was a better pick up an play right away feel to it though.

Going to try to post pics and updates of the shenanigans of our NHL 95 Tourney this Saturday. We'll see how many I'll do once my whistle gets wet but anyways here is my twitter handle

Opposed: Literally every person who ever used manual goalies in NHL 94 grew up to be a serial killer.
The final verdict: If you were one of the people who used this move, you should've been rounded up and sent to a penal colony with the people who looked at the other guy’s controller when he was picking his play in Tecmo.
These two lines are GOLD. It so was true on the manual goalie stuff. It's fine now, but my buds who used it when we were teenagers would be the 1st people I would suspect of murder
What do you want to ask Mark Lesser?
in Pixelated Heroes - NHL'94 Documentary

That's awesome he's getting an interview. That Mikey gots the networking down.
1. What does he think about the cult following still?
2. Who were some other programmers on the game that had good input
3. When Designing the game How much thought was put into high level play? IE two nhl94 guys going at it.
Also NHL 95 rules. We just had a tourney last weekend and the game is still so great playing against another person. Hope to keep doing them until my thumbs falls off.
