Enduring Classic: NHL '94

NHL '94. Quite possibly the greatest sports game ever (the Genesis version of course).



I don't know what beats it - maybe Super Mario Kart or NBA Jam for SNES, perhaps Blades of Steel for NES. What d'ya think?

I recently saw an interview with Jeremy Roenick (the strongest player in the game), and he said that it's by far the most common topic fans will bring up with him.

Immortalized in this clip from the movie Swingers, the game's capacity to make players bleed from the head with no fighting is one of the reasons it's so pure and amazingly playable.

As a testament to it's greatness, there's an entire website devoted to the classic game: NHL94.com.
