With the NHL playoffs in full swing, GamingExcellence presents a list of the top ten hockey games ever produced.
Snerdaperds attempts to coin a new term, Sim-phoria. He states,“a game or activity that simulates a real-life activity in such a way that it is inherently more engaging and fun than the actual activity that it is supposedly simulating through arcadification.” He continues, refining the term, and talking about Super Mega Baseball 2, and other games that fit the description.
ADDefense compares the two top NES hockey games - Blades of Steel and Ice Hockey - to determine which is the best NES hockey experience.
"Just in time for the NHL All-Star game, I revisit late 80's and early-to-mid 90's hockey video games, starting with Blades of Steel and working up through several other titles, mostly in the EA Sports NHL family." -GR
I tried NHL 95 and 97 SNES versions recently and they were so, so hard to control because I've spent the last 15 years doing the new thing almost every year. I was looking just plain stupid out there.
Best classic hockey games:
NES: Blades of Steel, Ice Hockey
Genesis: NHLPA 93', Mutant League Hockey
SNES: NHL 94'
should have been there too. 92, 93, & Blades of Steel. Nothing else matters after that.

Ice Hockey, on NES. It was the best game of all time. But i kinda like the new NHL 08 too.
Who can forget those colorful uniforms! haha
Loved that one and NHL 93!
NHL '96 is still my favorite. EA at its best.
