Sharp before it's time.

Created: 06/02/08
I remember this as a great game growing up. Konami has always realeased games that turned out to great fun with little to get angry about and this was no exception. "Blades of Steel!", anounces the title screen, something very rare for video games of the time. Considering it came out in 1988, the graphics are very detailed and the moves look realistic. It is easy to shoot and pass with pretty good acuracy. The fact that the person you control is flashing very quickly helps immeditely identify who you are. There is a really neat close-up screen when a fight breaks out on the ice where you get to duke it out with the other team. Detailed action screens also finish off the penalty shots that break-out adding a great effect to the shot. A lot of time was put into the extras of this game and it really shows. This really is one of the most fun hockey games ever. PEACE*LOVE*ONE

An Oldie But A Goodie

Created: 02/11/10
The flow and action of this hockey game is natural and addictively fun. Its the best sports related game ever made for Nintendo's original NES system. If you own one you can't miss picking up this title. The fight feature is outstanding and a bonus treat. Bump into an opponent repeatedly and a fight breaks out in a new screen and the loser skates one man short for a bit. This game is the only real reason many hockey fans and non-fans alike keep holding on to their old NES consoles. GAME ON!

I used to play this all the time as a kid an decided to buy it. While the fighting is fun and so are the penalty shots, the game is real easy to beat.

Hockey Fights!!

Created: 04/03/10
This game is great and its not just the Hockey Fights!

This game and Ice Hockey are both worth owing as they both provide fun game play and different game play.

If you like nintendo I suggest this game. Although you don't have a season or career this game is fun to play.

This game is great to play against a friend and the controls are easy so you can pick it up right away.

Buy this game its a classic.
