Chozopuffs Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Hey Nhl94 Community, I'm a new poster to this site, and greetings (and Happy Holidays) to you all!! My intro of sorts would go like this... I had SNES '94 back in the day, and other then Super Bomber Man 2 (or Secret of Mana on 3 player), this was the game to play when you got together. Sure taking turns at Weaponlord or Mario Kart was fun too, but if everyone wanted to play then NHL 94 usually was the game of choice. Thank you Multi-tap. Now that was then... So a bunch of years pass, NHL94 is a fond and distant memory, and then a few years ago I get a job with none other than Mr NHL94 himself, Evan. I don't recall the circumstances, maybe it was a year or so ago on lunch breaks we started playing the Gens '94 every now and then. I was an SNES purest so while it was neat, you know... eh, I was stubborn. Then last Christmas I got a USB Playstation-y looking controller for my computer... and resiliently I got the Gens Emu... I figured, if I want to have fun playing this game again I have to migrate to where the real competition is... and well, that was it. The bug got me. Once more, this game is epic and I find myself harping over it for hours on end... So that's me. Now onto the topic... (Apologies for the long post by the way, and I wonder if anyone is still with me?) I play a lot of different ways. Trying to use Ottawa's worst line to setup tic-tac-toes, or Vancouver to see how many one timers I can inflict upon someone (I think 19-47 was my record) The most recent fun way to play was this (it was Evans idea, I can't claim it as my own)... Take Hartford (again, for Gens '94 unedited), put it on Best of 7 Playoffs, and try to run up EVERY STAT IMAGINABLE while also trying to use every player on the roster. Get them all a few shots, a few points... all the goalies too. Do any shot imaginable, no honor system, just crush the computer with no mercy. Kept records of everything on an excel sheet (should've take screen caps to prove this)... and figured, before I archieve this file for like, forever... I'm curious if anyone else on these boards would have a good time trying to play the same way? I personally, thought is was pretty fun. So, that's it. An open challenge (of sorts, if that's the right word 'cause it's really just silly and for fun) to anyone who wants to try and compare... ...and has time to kill. And all in good fun. I'll post my own results in a bit.... To anyone who takes up the gauntlet, Good luck. And nice to be part of your community! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
