- Hit the Ice was never supoposed to be a true to life hockey game. It looks
- pretty much close to the arcade game, a more action oriented thing not a
- true sports simulation. I remember the arcade game had the most annoying
- attract mode yelling "WHAT A SHOT!" over and over. It did look like a lot
- of fun for two people. I heard that TV Sports Hockey was pretty good,
- but probably not as good as NHLPA it is after all a few years old already.
- And the computer play sucked, but I have yet to find a computer sports game
- where the computer doesn't.
