NHL Hockey 91

Developer: Electronic Arts

NHL Hockey 91 on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis delivers arcade-style ice hockey with brisk pacing, simple controls, and competitive local multiplayer. Buttons deliver passing, shooting and checking as two players skirmish across a compact rink, emphasizing quick counters, goalmouth scrambles, and momentum shifts that reward timing and positioning. For retro players it’s a nostalgic blast—rougher graphics and chiptune audio but immediate, pick-up-and-play fun that makes couch matches tense and memorable. Expect short games, uneven difficulty spikes, and a focus on reflexes over simulation depth, perfect for fans of fast, social sports sessions.
