Released in 1983 by Eastern Micro Electronics, Hoccer is a fast-paced arcade action game that plays like a futuristic hybrid of ice hockey and soccer. As a single player named Andrew, you take on opposing teams of robots called Ord and Clee across a series of single-screen arena matches. Rather than a traditional sports simulation, the focus is entirely on survival and combat, tasking you with clearing the rink to advance.
How to Play
The objective is to defeat the enemy robots across several rounds to win the Bronze, Silver, and Gold cups. You can eliminate opponents by slamming them into the arena walls, driving them into the on-court spinners, or striking them with a supercharged ball. Points are awarded for hitting the goal, striking side targets, or successfully knocking out robots. Use the arrow keys to skate around the arena, and the standard arcade buttons (typically mapped to Shift, Z, X, or Ctrl, Alt, Space in your browser) to control the ball and tackle your robotic rivals.
Tips
- Use the Environment: Your best weapon is often the arena itself. Try to corral enemy robots near the walls or spinners to eliminate them efficiently rather than just playing the puck.
- Master the Supercharge: Hitting robots with a supercharged ball is much safer than trying to tackle them directly and risking a deadly collision.
