Blades of Steel is a fast-paced arcade hockey game brought to the Game Boy by Konami in 1991. Scaling down the beloved NES and arcade classic for portable play, it delivers aggressive, high-speed action without the interruption of complex rules like offsides or icing. The game is famous for its physical playโclashing with opponents can initiate sudden fistfights on the ice, where the loser is sent to the penalty box.
How to Play
On the Game Boy (mapped to browser controls), use the D-pad (Arrow Keys) to skate and aim your shots or passes. On offense, press A (Z) to pass the puck and B (X) to shoot. On defense, press A (Z) to switch control to the player closest to the puck and B (X) to body check your opponent.
Tips
- When a fight breaks out, the loser gets a penalty. Throw punches to win the fight and give your team a power-play advantage!
- Shots on goal require timing. Watch the small arrow moving across the net and press shoot when it highlights an open spot.
- Passing is incredibly fast and effective for bypassing the opposing defense. Use it frequently rather than trying to skate the puck end-to-end.
