Olympic Hockey 98

About

Olympic Hockey 98 puts you in the net for a winter sports showdown with authentic NHL talent. Compete as real-world teams like Russia Canada or the US with licensed athletes and country vs country matchups. The controls favor quick stickwork and aggressive checking letting you execute slapshots or dive for saves. Solo modes test your skills against the CPU while split screen lets two players battle on the same couch. The game stands out for its roster accuracy and head to head multiplayer which feels tight even by N64 standards. Fans of competitive skating and physical play will appreciate the responsive handling though the graphics are basic by modern eyes. Released in 1998 it remains a niche title for retro sports fans who remember the era when Olympic hockey rosters actually featured NHL stars.
