About Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA All-Stars
One of the many hockey games released, this version not only let the player control Gretzky, but other major players of the time as well such as Mario Lemieux, Eric Lindros, Mark Messier among many others, 600 total. It also features the 26 NHL teams at the time as well as 6 International teams to choose from. The gameplay is similar to many other hockey games with the standard modes such as Exhibition, Season, Playoffs or even a "Just Play" option that instantly took the player to a random game. There is also a "Simulation Mode" that gives the game an authentic feel complete with penalties or an "Arcade Mode" that was more action oriented and with less rules. A battery back-up keeps extensive track of stats and has a two-player option as well.

A friendly Time Warner hockey game, cheap in the US and especially so for a loose cart.
Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA All-Stars was published by Time Warner Interactive and was first made for the Genesis, with Super NES and PC versions to follow. It came out in North America in April 1995 and in PAL territories in 1995.
GamePro's Slapshot McGraw gave the Genesis version a rave review, praising the fighting, the strong selection of teams, the Just Play option and the game's accessibility, calling it a terrific hockey game for both beginners and veterans.
What the press said at the time
“Fortunately, it’s pretty good as far as gameplay goes too. There’s all the usual team editing options and play styles that are usually found in hockey sims, a two player option and even a fight option.”
“The sound effects are incredible and the game play is above average.”
“A ton of features and options combined with gameplay that’s fun and easy results in one of the best side-view hockey titles.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
GamePro gave the Genesis version a rave review for its fighting, team selection and accessibility.
Next Generation rated the Genesis version three stars, calling it an arcade-style hockey game perfect for younger players but lacking depth.

- Super NES. GamePro's Air Hendrix panned the Super NES version, saying players can win by repeated checking and that the sprites seem to float rather than skate.
- Atari Jaguar. A Jaguar CD version planned for November 1995 was never published.
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle. The European cart usually costs much more than the US one when loose, and somewhat more when complete. Sega Retro lists it as working with both Sega's Team Player and EA's 4 Way Play, which do not run each other's games; Sega's later Team Player (MK-1647) runs both in its EXTRA mode. 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.
