OMG, tears are truly rolling down my cheek.

Ha. The chainmail jersey on the opposite wall belongs to Chelios.
I'm calling it: Pixelated Heroes will be the best video game documentary of all-time and Mikey will win a Candy.
Thanks Clockwise! Wow a Candy... My TV show won the best doc series last year and best director this year... But I have a feeling you have done your research already lol! In the next few days i'll send you an email I got some questions for you and hopefully you can help me out! Cheers Bud

Hey boys,
As you guys all know I have been traveling all over North America getting content for the doc. As luck would have it I never had to go far to get Theo Fleury... He walked right into my work up here in Yellowknife NWT Canada. He was in town doing talks. He needed to go to Hay River (My hometown) so I hooked him up with a flight there and he was more then happy to give me interview. I will not give anything away but he was the best and most well rounded NHL'er interview I have ever done. On top of that he is an amazing guy and he well bring a lot to the project
PS for the die hards he knows that the EA Sports All Star game drinking story was in 1999 the internet was quick to let him know lol. Oh and he is a Sega Genesis guy

Reaching the critical point on this.
Need some news soon!
Plans need to be made.
Some may already be lost.
Please respond Mikey, you are the only hope!
I want to come to NWT!
Hey Mac,
Doesn't look like I can commit to a date, my summer is looking pretty packed to plan a tourney. BUT!! Send me an email, If you come up to the NWT we can work on a date that woks and I will be more than happy to show you around!!

Yay BluRay!
That's all I wanted
How many hours of extra video do you think you can / want to cram onto the disc?
I too would really like to hear the full interviews with some of the developers and creators.
And King of 94 tourney footage.
BLOOPER REEL -- How many times did the 94 alumni players miss the net replicating the one-timer??
Not sure what the usual kickstarter bonus things are.. t-shirt/mug type stuff? A mug would be kinda cool actually... shirts are kind of hard to make use of.
I think 6 hours can be crammed in. Mark's and Michael Brook where 4 hours each. Jim was an hour & 45mins.
There is a bunch of off stuff that is off the record so I could cut each down to a solid 30-45 mins of continuous interview.

A "NHL94.com/Kingof NHL" limited edition DVD with uncut footage taken from the KingofNHL tourney plz.
Thats no problem I have about 20 hours of footage from KO94
-
First, congrats! You have hit a lot of milestones, and this is another biggie.
The main thing I would throw into a kickstarter camaign seeking -- and the most obvious perk -- is a DVD of the movie. And I hope the DVD extras has some uncut interviews with Jim Simmons and Mark Lesser!!!
When I sat down with Jim I read to him word for word the message you wrote on the last post

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to keep you diehards in the loop. Last Saturday I finished all my main filming for the movie. I have a few pick up scenes to be filmed in the next few months but the MEAT of the film is done. I have spent the last year and 3 months getting all the interviews and research done to put this whole journey into a complete story. I'm working with writers and producers now to take all the info and make something that is true to the subject matter and yet have universal appeal.
King of Kong on the surface was a Donkey Kong Movie, but underneath it was about the human competitive sprit.
The new Jake the Snake Doc isn't really about wrestling, its about hitting rock bottom and making a comeback.
So Pixelated Heroes on the surface is a doc about NHL '94, but underneath its about childhood nostalgia and its evolution as time goes on.
Lots of stuff will be cut from the documentary as I have to cut around 200 hours of footage to just under 2. This will give me lots of bonus features I can put into a Blue Ray release. We will be launching a Kickstarter campaign in the summer to raise funds to put into editing/marketing and buying licensed footage.
So a question for you all... types of "perks" would you guys like to see?
Cheers,
Mikey

All great questions. I have added all of them to my list of topics to bring up.
-
The guy who started it all. Jim designed the 1st game in the NHL series for the Sega Genesis. What questions would you ask him?
-
Congrats Raph!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
As a "patch".. for me it should really just be a "Special Edition":
Fix/correct the rosters.
Fix/correct the spelling of player names.
Clean up the code, including the weight-bug, other bugs as noted by others.
Fix the jerseys to include a team crest.
As a "legacy hockey engine":
Add more teams (30+)
Advanced stats
Season Mode
In-season trades / create new players
Allow for additional buttons (shoulder buttons like SNES), one button goalie
Optimize for online-play
Choose your home/away team (like SNES)
RELEASE THE CODE!
You are on the right track!
-
Things I did like about '95 were:
* Season mode
* Create a player / Trade players (definitely fun as a kid)
* Abort game on menu screen option
* Team selection is by moving controller to home/away (like SNES '94)
* Records
* 2on2
* You can change lines without dumping the puck.
Not sure anything else was an improvement over '94. Sucks that they didn't utilize the 6-button controller! I also wonder if they fixed the body check stats so only in-game checks count?
WHY DIDNT I SEE THIS BEFORE?? This answers everything!!!
-
Very interesting...
-
Ok folks this is a tough one. What did NHL '95 do right or try and do? I don't want to know what failed. Again this is a thought experiment. If you where a sales guy trying to sell NHL '95 to a 94 guy that has never played it what things would you say makes it better (Again i don't care if those things didn't work or made the game worse).
-
Mikey, I gotta ask, is there any chance of this happening??? (You are the man making the connections, and a guy who gets thing done, so if anyone could facilitate it, it is you!! So I had to ask!)
Or is this just a fantasy scenario???
Everything is a fantasy until acted on
I like the answers we are getting. In time yes we will be looking into something official.Everything on this thread is movie related so...for now this is just a thought experiment (But not a waste of time, trust me). I wanted to make you guys think like producers and see what you would change if you had the power too (not so much for an online ROM but for an official release).
-
If you could release a patch to fix problems or make things better in the Genesis version of NHL 94 what would you do?
-
I was hoping to break this during KO94 with someone, but completely forgot. Oh well, next time!
i'm totally in! I can get at least 2 if you want to get the other 28.

Thanks bud that looks awesome
-
Can Someone find me the fighting ratings of the top 20 best fighters in NHLPA '93?
I will run down the names and ask hi what he thinks of the rating... ill also need Roenick/Gretzky/Larmer/Ronning/Glenn Anderson
That would be an awesome skit!
-
That is awesome Mikey.
I think I know the answers to some of my questions.
How did you like the wt bug?
How did you like the removal of fighting?
Marty was awesome, I know that I was always mad that Igor Kuperman gave him an 85 fight rating in 93.
Side note on 93 and a question for Marty.
Odjick, McRae, Probert, and Domi were the 100's in 93.
Who would he give 100's too?
Would he give himself a 100?
Those are perfect CoachMac!! Hit the ball out of the park!
-
oh, wow. lots of questions. none I actually want answers to.
I have tons a questions for you
