About Hat Trick

Hat Trick is an ice hockey based arcade game released by Bally Sente in 1984. Each team in the game consists of two players, including a goaltender. The game takes an overhead view of the rink. At the end of each game, an ice resurfacer is seen cleaning the ice. Gameplay Hat Trick features a two-on-two version of ice hockey. The player controls both hockey players at the same time, with each up and down movement of the joystick also moving the goaltender across his goal line. Goals are scored each time a player successfully shoots the puck across the opposing goal line. The number of saves are also displayed on the scoreboard, solely for reference. The winner is the player who outscores their opponent in a game length of two minutes. If the scores are tied after the clock has run down, a maximum of twenty seconds of overtime is played until one player scores to be declared the winner. The game is for one or two players simultaneously.

Atari 7800 prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A long-delayed hockey cart for the 7800, cheap and perfectly serviceable.

Ibid, Inc. developed Hat Trick and Atari Corporation published it. The title appeared in Atari's release schedules in 1986 under the spelling "Hatrick", and the date kept slipping. When Computer Entertainer covered Atari's showing at a trade show in 1988, it called Hat Trick and Super Baseball welcome news for 7800 owners who had been looking for sports games. Current Notes reviewed the cartridge in November 1989.

It supports one or two players.

What the press said at the time

“Animation is fluid; the sound effects are adequate; … On the 2600, Hat Trick would be slightly above average. For the 7800 it is an occasionally enjoyable disappointment.”
— Current Notes, November 1989

How the Atari 7800 version differs

Current Notes said Hat Trick would be slightly above average on the 2600, but on the 7800 it is an occasionally enjoyable disappointment.

Worth knowing

From the 7800 manual. One-player games offer a novice or expert level.
From the 7800 manual. One joystick controls both your skater and goalie.

Before you buy

Common and among the cheapest carts in the library, with the box adding very little. Pro-Line joystick; you need a second stick for two players. Atari color label, catalog number CX7829. No documented fakes and no reason for anyone to make one.
