This was the first hockey game I ever played! Watching this brought back a lot of memories. I still knew that the players skated around 3 times before the game and a fight broke out if you bumped into each other thrice! Penalty shootouts were the best tho! It was a player taking a shot soccer style and you had to make the save using the D-Pad. I used go through whole games and tying on purpose just for those! Aaaah, souvenirs! :) Thanks for the vid man!
"with the pass! with the pass! with the pass!" (or whatever he says, that was my interpretation at least) LOVE this game. The music is great. I loved the 2nd intermission videos on the scoreboard (especially the Contra-style mini game that you could play) Played this SOOOOOOO much in the late 80's
Best hockey game ever. I always picked New York because it looked like my home team the St. Louis Blues. My brother and I would get so angry at each other when we would score a goal.
ahh memories, I totally forgot about this game. This used to be one of my fav NES games. Last time this game was even in my thought was like 8-10 years ago?
my grandma had this game at her house when i was like 6, the shootouts in this game are amazing. i am 20 now and i still play this once in a while. damn. fuck my life
i loved this game due to the fights! it's so simple to play a hockey game like this: one button to pass the puck and another to shot, that leaves all the focus on the fun (i miss those days so much)
loved the arcade version......had a big track ball to skate and a huuuuge "punch" button that blinked during fights......fuck.....take me back to my childhood bitches!!!!
2 thing to said: About the EA "crap": They come out one version every year, so it's kind of normal that some version are not as good as expected since they simply competition them self without so many new thing... It's like ford making a car to competition the Mustang with the Mustang V8 inside of it. About getting a new blade of steel: Why not...
i love this game. i only need one button to win it on pro really. just pass it in the net ;). good times right there. no second analog puck handling. this game made me believe the loser of the fight goes in the box. not both players :(
While an obvious fail as a simulation experience this is still the most intense and white knuckling hockey game I have ever played. 2 player matches were epic.
@tpp27 On my way to school I decided to start a new tournament with Toronto on the hardest mode because of your comment. I kicked ass all the way to the finals, until all of sudden I was losing for some reason. (I never lose.) 4 seconds left, I need to score to tie it up. I was determined to win, they got the puck, but I was able to get into a fight. I always lose the fights on that level, but I was determined to win, and then it was me against the goalie all alone, but I missed the shot. Tried.
Greatest hockey game of all time. Nothing even comes close. Loser of the fight goes to the box, genius!
Super Tecmo Bowl, Double Dribble, & Blades of Steel. Oh the memories.
Richard Johnson so true
0:52 Classic Leafs goaltending
lol
HAHAHA!!!
That was cold, yet so true.
LMAOOO!
I like how the guy who loses the fight goes to the box.
This was the only sports game I ever liked. Me and my friend played this ALL THE TIME when we were kids. It was awesome.

I remember the movie they would play when you won the championship. Blades Of Steel was the best NES game ever.

THESE GRAPHICS ARE AWESOME!!! (is what we used to say...).
in 1990, this was state-of-the-art awesome.
Best hockey game ever. I always picked New York because it looked like my home team the St. Louis Blues. My brother and I would get so angry at each other when we would score a goal.
I like how the referee drags the guy who gets his ass kicked to the penalty box
Its hilarious that the guy who loses the fight is the only one penalized.
I remember playing this on NES. Old school fo sho.
i like the blades of steel sampled voice that was way ahead of its time
We used to always keep it tied and just skate around till time expired so we could go to shoot out.
Lol.. yep
Both goals are so fucking hilarious. Especially the second behind the blue line hahaha
This is a real man's sports game, because it's not the actual hockey game that matters, it's beating the piss out of each other that matters.
Still love how the ref drags the guy off after the fight. That's awesome. I miss that game so much!
I play this game long long time ago, awesome childhood.
If you're not a 70's and 80's baby this video isn't meant for your entertainment
ahh memories, I totally forgot about this game. This used to be one of my fav NES games. Last time this game was even in my thought was like 8-10 years ago?
this and Ice Hockey are the best NES hockey games of all time.
After a fight finishes, the game would just continue right as it was while the ref carries the loser off to the penalty box. Amazing. :D
Best hockey game ever. The match opening music is just the best game music EVER.
I also used to have nightmares as a child because of those flashing players manoeuvering around the ice.
I agree, games were much more simple back then... Now to play a hockey game you have to memorize fifty different moves lol
Baseball Stars was awesome too
Best game ever back into the days!!! I remember my grand parents buying this game for my birthday !!
its so amazing how realistic video games get. look at this. then look at NHL 09. its so crazy
Wow, it's like I was 8 years old again playing this game.
this was the best game on the NES
This game brings back soo many good memories. Me and my little brother used to play it all the time and I was always the New York Rangers : )
even tho the graphics were shit, these games made the best memories :)
my grandma had this game at her house when i was like 6, the shootouts in this game are amazing. i am 20 now and i still play this once in a while. damn. fuck my life
This game wasn't even about hockey. It was about the fights that broke out.
i bought a nintendo recently with Blades of Steel, Mike Tysons Punchout, and Mario. The three best games.....i need contra tho.
Actually, the Blades of Steel theme song is pretty sharp. The muffled introductory by that guy is a little creepy though... "Blaaades of Steel".
Best hockey fight to this day!
that fight looks like rock-em-sock-em robots
Oh the memories.
Belo registro desse jogo :D
man i am unstoppable with minnesota!!!loved this game
*that ever so familiar whistle of the crowd sounds in the background*
Best sport nhl based game i ever played in my childhood :)
games like this make me feel old, thx Nin10doking
i loved this game due to the fights! it's so simple to play a hockey game like this: one button to pass the puck and another to shot, that leaves all the focus on the fun (i miss those days so much)
Ahhh nostalgia overload!
even in video games toronto cant catch a break LMAO
Started whistling the music one day. Couldn't remember where it was from until just today.
I haven't played this game since I was 7.
loved the arcade version......had a big track ball to skate and a huuuuge "punch" button that blinked during fights......fuck.....take me back to my childhood bitches!!!!
YES! Go Chicago!
epic soundtrack
This game reminds me of a game on the C-64 a hockey game Power Play USA vs Russia I had so much fun with it.
Vancouver was ALWAYS my team

This is real hockey...where the LOSER of the fight goes to the box lol

The shootouts are classic
Yup. That's why they are doing that. They're mad at themselves for allowing a few garbage goals(cheap goals).
I remember this lol
the memberberries are strong with this one
yesssssssssss! best game
"press to pass" lol
Lol.. I always thought it was saying "that's a pass".
geez, raycroft must be in net for toronto
While an obvious fail as a simulation experience this is still the most intense and white knuckling hockey game I have ever played. 2 player matches were epic.
makes the...makes the...makes the pass !!
1:29 ahh lol
man i love this game
Awesome I remember this game I always tried to get into a fight on purpose! haha
OMG!! Thank you for uploading I forgot about this game!! I use to love the "Fights"
I love how when a guy gets knocked out in a fight they keep playing lol
i have the older version of this for the old GB
One of the best games Ever!!!!!
Ah, back in the old days when play continued after a fight ended...
Yes i got it on vc and its awesome!!!
old school! :D
Classic, my 1st favorite game hahaha
WITH THE PASS!
Pretty sure there should have been an offside call at 1:32
I love how after you beat your opponents ass in a fight the ref would drag his lifeless carcass to the penalty box
toronto ftw and colors
Fuck yes, this game was the shit
I can agree on that
I played that at my grandmother's house whene I was like 5 or 6
My fav moement is Beaten up, I always beat my firend and he losses 2 Hockeyesmans :D

Edmonton was king
THAT WAS COOL GAME HOURES:)
Biggest disc ever
this game is basically a rehash of Pong, but with more shit happening lol
This is how I'm describing hockey from now on
loser of the fight goes the penalty box how awsome was that
I was out of ideas, so I named my fantasy hockey team after this game. Not a bad idea...
so ture
magic !
best part was only the loser of a fight got a penalty
😂😂😂
Old Times
The Goldberg's brought me here
Flip the pez
i playing it often
OMG she's horrible too-- right from the start!
