mort1237 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Live NHL 94 tournament every Monday night in Chicago. https://m.facebook.com/groups/1278008522339478?view=group 6pm Dmen Tap 2849 W Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL 60618 Mon Jan 21, 28, Feb 4,11,18 Entry $8 5 to daily prize and 3 to a season final tournament. Prize will probably be 80 percent for 1st 20 percent for 2nd. 3rd if a lot of players. Contact me at fbuennagel@gmail.com Current standings and results. https://tecmo101.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/dmennhl94s1w2-2.pdf No min or max of participants. Format. The less people the more games will be in the format. Most of the time it will be a round robin followed by a double elimination. System: Sega Genesis Rules: Hardcore 5 min periods, no line changes, manual goalie and penalties except offsides. About. Every Monday we have retro gaming at dmen tap in Chicago. After the success of our local tecmo league that had 18 owners we are trying to do something similar with NHL 94. Each week until the Edge of 94 tournament we will have a Monday tournament at the bar. Prizes will be given out each Monday. While we will also collect money for a season final tournament. The only rule right now is teams are chosen each week based on skill. The better you are based on the nhl 94 ratings, past performance in the league and reputation the lower tier your team will be. A similar rule made our tecmo league very successful. Once you play once you get a free entry to the finals. Which will be a larger tournament on a weekend later this year. We will probably have a buy in to play in that event for those that have not been able to make a Monday event. Also later on we will hopefully at least once bust out the SNES version.

Edge of '94 Midwest Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 @mort1237 very much appreciate what you guys are doing in the Windy City. I hope other similarly motivated individuals will start meeting up in their own respective communities to drive interest in this timeless classic. On another note, hopefully you can get an additional player or 2 to make the journey with you guys in February. Thanks, Trojan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move to Chicago, convince @angryjay93 to do the same, and I may be forced to move my annual tournament there. It wouldn't suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use to do this quite often, but I have not been able to rally the local boys much anymore. I have tried doing some different things including partnering with a local retro video game store and offering up a bounty to beat @angryjay93 but seems the folks around here only play Smash Bros, Street Fighter, etc.... We do however have this thing called the internet. It lets people connect from anywhere and play NHL '94. If we had a group of guys interested in meeting up on this internet thing at designated times and playing I would get this internet thing and show up and play at designated times. We could organize one night tourneys, 2v2 tourneys, etc... and have a blast. I've suggested this before and @deadmeow even ran some 92 leagues I played in that had set days, times, and schedules. I will start a new thread for anyone interested in such a thing, but I won't be holding my breath. With people learning how to get port forwarding direct connection working on RA, the experience for online NHL94 has been vastly improved. I've attempted to get these guys to hop online, but local is how they like to get down. I think they could be playing competitive paper slide football for all they care, just as long as they get together in person. I do admire the effort and energy. I'll try to be available given notice to play some online games if you schedule something that works for a decent number of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means we don't have any rules for gameplay established. Tecmo variants have rules during game play like no nose tackle dive. No rb at wr.
