Released by Konami in 1987, this fast-paced arcade hockey title became an instant classic. Known for its intense action, digitised speech, and hard-hitting gameplay, it ditches complex simulation in favour of pure, accessible sports fun. This specific release is Version T, a revision of the original coin-op board.
How to play
The objective is simple: outscore the opposing team across three periods of intense hockey. Offensively, you can pass to open teammates or shoot on goal. Defensively, you must check opponents to steal the puck.
- Move: Arrow Keys
- Pass / Switch Player: Z
- Shoot / Check: X
- Insert Coin: Shift
- Start: Enter
Tips
- Winning Fights: When players collide frequently, a fight breaks out. The loser of the fistfight is sent to the penalty box, giving the winner’s team a power play. Use quick strikes and blocks to win.
- Penalty Shots: If a fight occurs near the goal crease, the attacking team is awarded a penalty shot instead of a power play.
- Passing Strategy: The passing system targets the teammate with a flashing arrow above their head. Make sure to look for the indicator before passing.
