There's only one rule... Brendan Shanahan always gets benched

The first hockey game I owned for Sega Genesis. I loved this game as a kid and still think it holds up fairly well.

This was the third year and culmination of EA recycling thier Hockey engine making modest improvements annually.

This NHL 94 is the "greatest hockey game ever" talk is nonsense though. Hell it was comfortably eclipsed by NHL 96 and in some ways NHL 95.

Regardless of what I think the reality is NHL 94 is widely considered the best sports game of the 16-bit era let alone hockey game.

In fact NHL 94 still gets yearly updates with updated rosters, teams/logo's etc.
I am probably a little jealous because there are other 16-bit sports titles that I think deserve that kind of support as well.
