Stick Hunter: Exciting Ice Hockey is a sports game released for the Famicom (NES) in 1987. Developed by Micronics and published exclusively in Japan, it holds the distinction of being the first ice hockey title on Nintendo’s 8-bit console. You can choose from eight international teamsโincluding Japan, Canada, the USA, and the USSRโand adjust both the match duration and CPU difficulty before hitting the ice.
How to Play
The objective is to outscore the opposing team before time runs out. Use the D-pad (mapped to your Arrow Keys) to skate. Passing and shooting mechanics are strictly directional; your player must face the exact way you want the puck to travel. Press the A or B buttons (Z and X on your keyboard) to pass, shoot, or check opponents to steal the puck on defense. Press Start (Enter) to pause.
