Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA All-Stars is a fast-paced, arcade-style ice hockey game released for the SNES in 1995. Developed during the NHL lockout, the game features the official NHLPA license, meaning it includes real player rosters from that era, though it lacks official NHL team logos, instead using city names. The game is known for its aggressive checking and high-speed gameplay.
How to Play
The objective is to outscore your opponent in either Arcade mode, which focuses on fast action with fewer rules, or Simulation mode, which enforces real hockey penalties. Using the default SNES controls in the browser, map your movement to the arrow keys. Use Z and X (mapped to the B and A buttons) to pass, shoot, and deliver aggressive body checks, and use Enter for Start.
Tips
- Due to the game’s check-heavy nature, holding onto the puck for too long is dangerous. Focus on quick, short passes rather than trying to skate through the defense.
- If you are playing through a season, it is recommended to play the games manually. The computer-controlled simulation logic is known to lose more often than it wins.
