  1. I've had NHL94.com bookmarked for a while, but I'm new to the forum side. It's nice to see how active of a community there is. I grew up in the South where back in the 90s, hockey was not very popular. We had (and still have) a minor league team that plays locally but baseball and football pretty much dominate my region as far as sports go. I cut my teeth on NHLPA '93 for the Genesis back in 1993 when my neighbor's parents got him the game. I'd go over there all the time to play or he'd come over all the time to play since we both had a Genesis. Fast forward to Christmas of 1993, my parents got me NHL 94 for Genesis and my brother and I played all the time (usually one on one but sometimes two players on the same team). Being a fan of Chicago sports as a kid, I naturally gravitated towards the Blackhawks so I'd say NHLPA '93 and NHL 94 are what piqued my interest in the Blackhawks and hockey in general. I ended up playing little league ice hockey and roller hockey as well as street hockey in the cove as a result of playing those games. I played NHL 94 for Genesis and SNES on and off with emulators for many years but never got involved in any online leagues or anything like that and, as of more recently, I have been playing a lot of NHL 94 (Genesis) as well as the amazing NHL 94 Genesis ROM modded with the 2016 roster on my NVidia Shield when I have time to (even if it's just to get away and play a quick game with 5:00 minute periods). I played the Genesis version way more than the SNES version because that's what I grew up on, but now I'm starting to get into the SNES version some more to familiarize myself with the gameplay mechanics and other differences. The Genesis one will always be my favorite version of the game, but I've grown to appreciate the SNES version a lot more than I originally did. I probably won't post here too often, but I like to lurk the forums since they're pretty interesting.
