Slap Shot

About

Slap Shot is a hockey game from 1990 that plays it straight with simple controls and arcade-style action. You take charge of a team on the Sega Master System, using directional buttons to move and a single button to shoot or pass. The focus is on fast-paced gameplay with basic mechanics that let you score goals and block opponents in a no-frills way. The game stands out for its straightforward approach to hockey, avoiding the movie tie-in to focus on pure sports action. With a 7.2 average from user ratings, it's remembered for its responsive handling and single-player mode that stays short but playable. Released at the end of 1990, it offered a quick pick-up-and-play option for sports fans on the Master System.
