A plain Sega ice hockey game that is cheap in the plastic case but not in its cardboard-box edition.
Mario Lemieux Hockey was developed by Alpine Software and published by Sega. It came out in North America in 1991 and in Europe in March 1992.
What the press said at the time
| Mean Machines Issue 16 | January 1992 | 76% |
| Mean Machines Sega Issue 3 | December 1992 | 76% |
“decent console version of an exciting sport that lacks atmosphere but has enough playability to make it worth a look.”
“A decent ice hockey game that's completely over shadowed by the far, far superior EA Ice Hockey. Try that one first and this one second.”
“The viewed-from-the-side perspective doesn’t work as well as EA’s behind-the-goal view, and there’s not as much depth. Nice try, but destined to be second best.”
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle. The European cart usually costs a little less than the US one. A cardboard-box edition is priced separately and costs far more than the plastic-case copy, so check which one a listing is before comparing prices; ask for a photo of the board before paying a box price. Sega Retro lists the game as three-button only.
