Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA All-Stars

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA All-Stars
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Time Warner Interactive
RELEASED:         1995
TYPE:             Sports (hockey)
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          YACEG featuring the loveable mug of the famous Canadian
                  hockey player - considered by all pro hockey afficianados
                  as the greatest player to ever play the sport.

IMPRESSIONS:      This game is just okay, folks.  I hate to break it to ya,
                  but there's no way this can live up to the title of "The
                  Great One."  For starters, the hockey just doesn't feel
                  like it's being played on any kind of ice I've ever seen.
                  Secondly, the destroyer of sports titles, problematic
                  control, is rampant throughout.  Despite its flaws, it
                  still manages to charm us with flashy extras and the best
                  fights I've ever seen in a hockey game - which probably
                  explains the loss of the NHL's endorsement. (Electric

VARIATIONS:       Commonly referred to as Wayne Gretzky Hockey, which was
                  also the title of a hockey sim for the Commodore Amiga
                  produced by Bethesda Softworks.
