Released in 1993 for the Sega Genesis, Electronic Arts’ NHL ’94 is a landmark sports title that defined an era of arcade-style hockey. Widely celebrated as one of the greatest sports games ever made, it removed fighting from its predecessor but introduced incredibly fast gameplay, official NHL licenses, and the revolutionary “one-timer” shot.

How to Play

Outscore your opponent across three periods of fast-paced hockey. The Sega Genesis controls map to your keyboard: move players with the arrow keys. On offense, use X to pass and Z to shoot. On defense, use X to switch to the player closest to the puck and Z to attempt a body check or poke check. You can also manually control your goalie by holding S.

Tips

Master the one-timer. By pressing the shoot button right before a passed puck reaches your player, you will unleash a blistering shot that is very difficult for the goalie to track. Defensively, committing to heavy body checks can leave you out of position; use poke checks against fast attackers to safely separate them from the puck.
