About this product

Product Information

Try your skills in four-on-four hockey with Nintendo Ice Hockey. While it follows most of the rules of conventional ice hockey, the NES version opens up the rink with only four skaters and a goalie on each team instead of the usual five skaters. This also makes it run much faster on the NES console and gives you more space on the ice to make plays and score goals. It's especially fun if you happen to have someone to control a second team.Like the real sport, the teams switch ends after each period, and there is an option for a fourth period of sudden-death overtime followed by a shootout if necessary. You build your team from a mix of light, medium, and heavy skaters, and then play from a top-down view. Other features include real ice hockey calls like icing and power plays. Stage games against the computer or beat your friends in your own hockey league. You'll love organizing your own 8-bit Nintendo version of the NHL.Building on the 1981 Atari game, NES put more players on the ice than any other 8-bit title. The programmers added a ton of charm to the game, too. An animation of stadium personnel cleaning the surface plays whenever there's a break in the action in the middle of games. If a player fights with another player for the puck, then everyone else will join in. Just like in real life, if a stick infraction occurs, such as tripping or slashing, then a player is sent off to the penalty box. Having the ability to select different players adds a layer of strategy when starting new games and means no two games are ever the same.The first man who puts on blades is extremely fast and good at face-offs. He has a lower rating when it comes to defense. The second man to skate is more balanced, and the third is a heavyweight who is slow but can knock anyone else down. You'll have to decide which skaters to start in each round of hockey you play. The search for the perfect teammates to put the puck in the goal is a big part of the fun.There are a few interesting regional differences in the different versions of Nintendo Ice Hockey. The team roster lineups in all versions of the game feature the same players. They also both include the USA, Czechoslovakia, Canada, Poland, and the USSR as selectable countries to play as or against. However, the PAL and North American versions of the Ice Hockey game include Sweden as a sixth country. The original Japanese Famicom game included Japan. Just like in the real sport, this video game declares whoever has the highest score the winner.

    Awesome game

    This game is very addictive and fun, also challenging. The music is great. You can play it against the computer with different difficulties or you can play it against a friend, which is more fun :)

  • Ice Hockey (NES, 1988)

    This game is a very fun sports game for the NES. It's fun to play and doesn't get old fast. Picking from 3 types of characters (fat, average, skinny) makes this game better as you can pick from a variety of combinations to make your team supreme. Picking all fat players will make you hard shooters, big body checkers, but very slow in skating. Average players well, are of course average in every aspect. Skinny players are very fast, but at the cost of have weakend shooting and bad body checking. The only thing I disliked about this game was the controls of moving your character was a little hard to maneuver in the direction you wanted to go. Also it was kind of annoying whenever you moved your player the goaltender moves aswell, so trying to attack the opposing team shooting while ...

  • Classic 8 bit game. Ice Hockey Rules.

    This game is famous for letting you choose the size combination of your 4 linemen. Thin and fast, Medium, and Large and slow (but with the strongest slapshot.) Lately I've been using two thin and two large. You're always controlling the goalie so when the team gets into your defensive zone, you better just focus on protecting the goal. The best tactic for scoring, just like real hockey, is to do a quick shot off of a pass in front of the goal. There's a check button but I rarely use it. Pick from national teams like US, USSR, Canada, and Sweden. The one major fault in this game is : No Season or Playoff Mode. What I'll do is play as the US against Sweden, then Canada, then USSR or something like that. Regardless, for 1988, this is one of the best sports games of the decade.

  • Excellent and enjoyable hockey game that anyone can pick-up and play.

    Ice Hockey by Nintendo is a fantastic hockey game for the NES. It's very simple in concept, and it is extremely easy for anyone to play. The most novel concept in this game is the ability to design your own team. There are five players for each team on the rink at a time, four customizable players, and a goalie. You can choose between a skinny, fast, but weak player, a medium-sized all-arounder, or a fat, slow, but strong player. You can also choose what positions you want each to play, having 2 offensive and defensive players. The goalie always remains the same, and is controlled simultaneously with you defensive players. It's very hard to play defense and move the goalie simultaneously, so it's best to pick one and focus on it. There are a six national teams to choose from: USA, USSR, ...

  • Classic

    Always liked the option of picking team mates. Gives variety within the team. AI seems to be very competitive at this time. lost first game 13-1 against USSR. Graphics are good if it was the 80's again.
