It usually took about a week to figure it out after getting a new version, then it was just trying to get free in the slot to do it.<BR/><BR/>Of course, nothing beat the original NHL (92 I think). I learned how to score without even shooting on that one -- just come in at an angle, make a deke, and run into the corner of the cage and the puck floats right in. I'd win 20-0 with 0 shots on goal.Mike Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830213990301258988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-1155224625858664932006-08-10T08:43:00.000-07:002006-08-10T08:43:00.000-07:00I never even tried the SNES version.

I spent so much bloody time with both games.<BR/>I love the sound a player makes when he gets smoked: "HOOOOAAAHHH!" And the stinkin goal siren is pretty cool too.Sean Zandberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367951232268606248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-1155223634889610962006-08-10T08:27:00.000-07:002006-08-10T08:27:00.000-07:00The X button would probably be for PS nerds, not G...The X button would probably be for PS nerds, not Genesis nerds.<BR/><BR/>I'm with James on this one.

We had some legendary battles in the dorm back when I was in college. The height of it was when my roommate's favorite player was Theo Fluery and the guy across the hall kept mocking Fluery's name until the rage was unleashed. Good times. I sucked at the game then and always lost to effin' Belfour though, it still haunts my dreams.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-1155175271653556662006-08-09T19:01:00.000-07:002006-08-09T19:01:00.000-07:00I'm with Sleek.

The captain was Bob Beers. I think Tony Twist was an assistant. God, I thought I was hilarious.Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04293795601043234505noreply@blogger.com
