www.oldtimehockeyarcade.com/Straight from the developers mouths: This isn't a hockey game. This isn't even a game. It is an experience. It is a trip down memory lane. A simpler time. A time when things were... just plain better. You don't need to like sports games. Because this is not a sports game. It is a trip to the essence of an ethos. Of an nation. The game is but a vehicle, a corporeal vessel upon which the spirit travels. This game is a mirror to the past. You watch the trailer and seem "booms" and "pows" and blood flying and you read about drinking on the bench and bench clearing brawls and bone crushing hits. This is how hockey was 40 years ago. The 20 second clip takes you back to when the sport was pure. When you didn't worry about stats. When you didn't worry about data. When the sport was a sport and players were players. When sacrifice and heart and blood and sweat and effort meant something. When you were judged by the character of your being and not on someone's spreadsheet. But most importantly... back when it was fun. Back when people played "for the love of the game" When I know... you'll know.

lol
i thumb myself so much that I'm going to go blind.
it's much more fun doing it on Facebook though. you guys are pretty smart here so you get it, but on Facebook the people take up arms against me when I do it. It's like they self-deputize to deal with the self-thumbers. Love it.

What if I just don't like hockey in general? Do you believe in a simpler time? Do you believe in something, celebrated in it's purest, most beautiful form? Do you believe in incorporating alcohol and sporting events? Buy this game

But does it beat BLADES OF STEEL? No sports game will ever compare to Blades of Steel. "Ice Hockey" is pretty damn fun, don't get me wrong, but you just can't beat Blades of Steel. The loser of the fight gets a penalty, the winner does not. You just can't beat that game balance

How old-school? You mean like the early 20th century version of hockey where veteran goalies had dentures or the 3rd century version in Rome where, if the match got boring, they'd release lions onto the field for the lols?

the one where there were no black players I find you lack of hockey knowledge concerning. This concern leads me to question your claim that you are Canadian. I would even question if you are American living north of the 40' line of Latitude. Missouri? Yea... you're from Missouri. You'rea proud member of the Show Me State

If Xbox Live's Free Games with Gold makes it available down the road I'll certainly be downloading this and giving it a play. As someone who played quite a bit of these past hockey titles: Ice Hockey (NES), Mutant League Hockey (Genesis), NHL Powerplay '96 (Saturn), and NHL Hitz 2003 (Xbox) I find this one fairly interesting. I do wish I had played Blades of Steel back in the day given how it's held in such high regard.
