NHL 95

About

NHL 95 is EA Canada’s third entry in their early hockey series. It plays with a top-down perspective where you direct players across the rink using directional inputs and button combos. The game offers a full season mode with 84 games per team including injury risks and mid-season trades. You can customize rosters or face off in split-screen multiplayer. New mechanics like dummy shots and prone blocking add layer to puck control. Community reviews on GameRankings average 68 out of 100. The split-screen mode lets two players compete on the same system. Customization options for teams and moves remain a standout feature. Released in 1994 this title ran on SNES DOS and Genesis. Its straightforward controls and season-long progression still appeal to retro sports fans.
