A simple arcade-style hockey game that cannot match EA's NHL series.
Tecmo Super Hockey was developed by Malibu Interactive and published by Tecmo, and it came out in North America in February 1995. It carries an NHLPA license but not the NHL's.
Next Generation thought the simple passing and shooting controls made it a decent arcade-style game with a hint of simulation, but the tiny characters and comparison with EA's NHL '95 left it unfavorably placed.
What the press said at the time
“As with other Tecmo products, the game play and controls are simple yet detailed enough to keep gamers interested. The game’s menus are easy to move through and offer”
“Think of this as an arcade game and you'll be fine, but a hockey sim it ain't!”
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits above the middle, and the risk is low. The cartridge saves to a battery inside it, so check that a save holds; a replaced battery is a normal repair, not a sign of a fake.
