International Hockey

About

International Hockey is a 1985 ice hockey simulation built for Commodore 64 and its variants. You manage a team of players using joystick controls to skate, pass, and shoot in single player or split-screen co-op. The game emphasizes basic mechanics over realism with simplified physics and limited player movement. Matches unfold in real time with a focus on offensive plays and goal-scoring. Released as Slap Shot in Europe, the game stands out for its cooperative mode which lets two players share a single screen. While graphics and sound are rudimentary by modern standards, the straightforward gameplay and local multiplayer made it a niche favorite. With a December 1985 release date, it remains a curiosity for retro sports game collectors.
