Great Ice Hockey

Developer: Unknown

Great Ice Hockey on the Sega Master System serves up brisk, arcade-style hockey with straightforward controls and fast, rink-side action. Matches emphasize quick passes, hard shots, and board play rather than simulation depth, making it ideal for short competitive sessions or couch multiplayer. Players juggle offense and defense through simple directional skating, slapshots and goalmouth scrambles while handling occasional penalties and power plays. The game's pixelated sprites, chiptune soundtrack, and tight time-limited periods create a nostalgic, high-tempo experience that rewards positioning and timing more than complex tactics—perfect for retro sports fans seeking accessible, challenging local competition.
