Classic Game Room - ICE HOCKEY for NES review

[@festushaggen2563]

Played this more than Mario when I was a kid. Maybe the first game with that “one more game” hook about it. This one gave me blisters and callouses for sure.

[@canadianjamesbond]

This was the most intense video game review I’ve ever seen. I cheered every time Canada scored. Good review.

[@blackneos940]

2 things I've noticed..... :) Some of the characters look like Mario from SMB 3, and they also use the Victory Song from SMB, only altered a bit at the end, and sped up.... :D I guess not many sprites were available when they were putting them into the games file... ;)

[@keving5338]

Fun childhood memories with this game. The stick bashing before a fight... funny as hell. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@Yungbeck]

Played the heck out of this with my brother when we were little. It still holds up! I played it the other day lol

[@notyoursavior78]

This one and NHLPA '93 are the best oldschool hockey games. They are as much fun today still as they were back then when they were new.

[@nonamerus]

man 8-bit sounds just makes everygame better its just the best game sound they sound so cool:D

[@MasterOrHan1]

Love the classic 8-bit music, great review and great game. The 8-bit music was the most inspirational of all to me. :D

[@demoskunk]

This is the most fun sports game that I have ever played. Ahh...brings back high school memories...

[@americanpravda1395]

This game provided hours of fun back in the early 90's.

[@nonplayercharacter596]

Classic Game Room was the first channel I subscribed to years ago

[@tidq]

What a comeback! U-S-A! U-S-A!

[@xChaotic81x]

one of my all time favorite hockey video games. spent alot time playing this as a kid

[@baronvg]

I begged my dad to get me this game when I was a kid. He did and didn't hesitate to tell me to my face that it cost $40 at Target. Even as a 10 yr old I thought that was a fucking shitload of money for a Nintendo game in 1990. Well I did the inflation adjustment and today(2012) that game would be a whopping $70!!!!!

[@milanistirock]

my childhood!!! the battle between players are so funny! so memorable

[@LawlessGaming13]

OMG!!!! i REMEMBER THIS GAME. I loved it. They should rerelease this.

[@Audiojack_]

This is one of the best games on my ~500 NES-game cartridge for the GBA... Good fun on the road.

[@mondrometal]

we will rememeber that match for a long time.. awesome review, i could wach it all day. we want more rivalry mark ! more MArk vs...

[@TheGreatEllipsis]

I missed this game when I was a kid. Shame. I would've loved it.

[@Se7enBeatleofDoom]

The graphics have such a awesome classic NES look too them!

[@Ziggy7800Pro]

I think the old school sports games are better then the onces on newer stuff. Ice Hockey is a great game spend alot of weekends on it. I will say Blades of Steel is a great hockey game too. Great job CGR HD.

[@Nelbroth]

One of my all-time favorite games. Holds up ridiculously well.

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

+Nelson Kaiton wow, Nintendo did ice hockey, its really holding up.

[@moulinexm7600]

I tried it but I can't even beat the first AI opponent. Any tips ?

[@robertwilson3866]

photo-realistic graphics for the time!

[@chrisdsx5]

Ya I just played this.. it is sooo good! Loads up so fast and designed so well.

[@TheSatNavs]

I like the crowd around the side!

[@1shoryuken]

that was one hell of a sports montage comback!

[@traphikk]

definitely my favourite NES game, so unbelievably fun.

[@ChrisSmith-1983]

I remember playing this game as a kid

[@Galimah]

Still one of the greatest hockey games of all time. Just beaten by Blades of steel for nes and EA hockey genesis

[@RicksTravelogue]

Your review here may just have helped me choose how to spend my last 500 Wii points.

[@l34ssl3oost]

as a canadian im glad other countries are getting better at hockey as the entertainment gets better and better. However its still our game damn it!! lol ;) nice review

[@thekoolkurt]

Love seeing some more NES reviews

[@Johnniethesportsguy]

I used to play the hell out of this game. Loved it.

[@ricardomauricioaraya7625]

I must have been 10 when I used to play this game with my dad. He was not a gamer but he would always beat me... Good 'ol Days!!!!

[@Blackcrow911]

This was a great review, thanks for the laughs.

[@snaredrums123]

Watching you two play, I acted the same way as I do when I watch real sports!

[@darrengidney7064]

Just simply one of the funnest nrs games to play if you have a somewhat equal opponent. Tense and exciting, palms sweating for sure. We played this game for id guess hundreds of hours

[@RedPolarBearRanger]

I used to play this game with my father as well & whenever I watch a NHL ice hockey especially the Philadelphia Flyers this game's soundtrack comes to mind this could had also been a great NHL based hockey video game for the NES if licensed by the NHL of course.

[@delph2156]

GO FLYERS!!!

[@notyoursavior78]

@rmenes yea I wouldn't mind seeing him give that a go since all of his hockey reviews are awesome. He previously reviewed NHL 2K for the Dreamcast on his original run with Dave and reviewed Atari 2600 Ice Hockey.

[@DravenWolfe]

Ah... memories... I remember playing this as a kid... still have it, i was always the U.S., U.S.A., U.S.A.

[@PBrousse]

i just love that game, just bought it on the wii virtual console!

[@SomeDumbGames]

Excellent game...round robin tourneys are still a norm in my house.

[@simonstadin]

It's nice that you've started doing NES reviews! :D

[@notyoursavior78]

@FortuneNeko he did review that for the Sega Master System. It looked really choppy and somewhat buggy though. Double Dragon II on the nes though is one of my favorite games of all time.

[@zborgerd]

@kubevubin That's because old NTSC TVs had an overscan. There is a small percentage of space outside of the image that you would normally "see" because it's not drawn within the frame of the image on a typical CRT television. It appears on captured videos though because the video capturing hardware grabs everything. Also - I suspect that an NES dev would see no reason to waste resources by drawing sprites outside of the overscan.

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

that soundtrack of the 80s montage is bitchin.

[@dark__blur]

If you end in a draw in the 4th period, you go again to shootout. Great laughs with your review!

[@louis1443]

I still play this till this day damn

[@deliciousd2]

he should start doing modern games because i know its CLASSIC game room but he's a good game reviewer

[@thechainzter]

My dad used to beat me at this all the time. The only game he would allways beat me at...

[@zoiperi4782]

thechainzter train whith bots and some day you win

[@rubbara]

You guys need to do a head to head review of TECMO SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!

[@nightmathzombieethan]

WOW, thanks for the memories Mark! This sure brings em back, but I still preferrred Blades of steel. The BEST Hockey Game EVER was NHLPA 92 (or 94?) On the Genesis. (Can ya tell I'm Canadian? LOL)

[@WhatPixelYouOn]

Do you make all the music for these videos? :)

[@dude995]

Sick video as usual Mark!

[@kekke2000]

What happens if it keeps being tied? Is it shootout, no goalie period, shootout, no goalie period until a winner is declared?

[@VGA322]

YA GO CANADA!!! WOOOOOOO!!! Aw man... We Lost :(... XD Awsome Review. Wish i could find this game again. Probably just head over to the flea market :P

[@DeliriousMik3]

Great review,this game does look awesome lol and I need to get this game on the wii. Makes me think of a cool soccer game I had on the NES..can't remember the name of the game tho..

[@6ch6ris6]

this game is so fucking awesome!!! love the music, love the graphics, love the gameplay and especially love the halftime animation ;)

[@Jerricoking]

Lol that is so cool they can actually fight they should make it to where you could match the button so you can win

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

Two fats, a medium, and a skinny. Can't be beaten...

[@RDArtist81]

A couple friends of mine, who were very good, always played 3 skinnys and a fat. I suppose the game has evolved since 1988.

[@darrengidney7064]

Gotta agree with you on the lineup. Geez i wish there was somewhere to play against people, my goslie skills are amazeballz

[@billsandiego3385]

Darren Gidney me too! I once one with 4 chubbies lol

[@VisionEffectable]

You can play this online on Nintendo Switch, tell me if you have the possibility to have a match i will give you my Nintendi friend code.

[@billsandiego3385]

@@VisionEffectable oh nice let me know

[@kingsofcobra]

First game where the whole team could fight. Classic!!!

[@ThePlatapus]

I love this game, doesn't even compare to "Wayne Gretske'z 3D Hockey" (or however his name is spelled).

[@XKaiminalX]

GGGGAAAHHH!!!! WHY WASN'T THIS RELEASED IN THE PAL REGION!

[@mikechicago]

This video is really fun. Just like Ice Hockey on the NES!

[@marchukhockey]

The way the dude talks majesty sound completely sarcastic. I barely kept from laughing!

[@shimizukebin]

When I was young, I thought that the fat guys were Mario XD

[@knortz251]

Great show !! thanx a lot :D

[@420159]

another awesome review

[@psd_seth]

Who needs NHL 18 on the Switch? I can play this with Nintendo Switch Online!

[@ahatla888]

Review was Awesome!

[@videogamedude68]

Awesome game and AWESOME review! Whenever I get into a fight, the ref always calls the penalty against me. What the hell am I doing wrong? I don't know. BLACKHAWKS!!!!!!

[@BitchFunky317]

Many, MANY hours spent on this game as a kid, great review!!

[@lope129]

I have this game but it doesn't play right.... How do I fix it?

[@ThisIsEDX]

I prefer Blades of Steel, but this still is a good game, great review as always.

[@X5Industries]

does any one know why in all of the NES's sports games, the clocks second counter is always way too fast?

[@Enilgo]

now that was intense!

[@ThatGuyYouNeverSaw]

sweet! needs to be on vc.

[@xMehL]

BEST. REVIEW. EVER.

[@YumanoidPontifex]

i love the rule set in this game :PP

[@KaijuTurtle]

I have this game and it is awesome.

[@IceHockeyJedi]

Hell yeah, buddy! I'll be playing this with my son when he gets a little older! um, also...USA! USA!

[@girandpiggy95]

4:03 I can't tell whether Mark's being serious or not :/

[@adandelgado4069]

one of my favorites on the nes

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

this is more entertaining than it has a right to be.

[@marcusnns]

Monster eating the players could happen, because there actually is a NES soccer game and there's a lion rushing in and attacks the players.

[@rmenes]

You should try Blades of Steel for the NES. :)

[@Jotinko]

I love this game!

[@Lyle24Odelein]

i bought Blades of Steel thinking i was buying this back in the days. Blades of Steel is a good game though.

[@MrCaptDomingo]

Is this game available on wii virtual console?

[@allen14n]

This looks addicting.

[@Leishmaniasisably]

I would watch sports if Mark commentated on them.

[@Dogman36]

"they'll neverWHAT THE FU*dunn dun dun duuuuhhnn*" rofl great review man! lol @ ussr.

[@trevburton666]

Anyone out there know the code that makes the puck continuously bounce around?

[@OutCold9te6]

What happens after the 4th period?

[@Yunico]

4:02 Hilarious!!!!!! i do that when i play games too!

[@TheInkPitOx]

Five players per team? You need a center, left wing, right wing, left defense, right defense, and goaltender. That's six.

[@Protoman85]

then you would have gotten slowdown and/or flicker. realism < playability

[@Priceman5]

4:03 "They'll never - WHAT THE FUC*!" Hilarious!

[@MrPoops69]

this game was, and is awesome!!!

[@FortuneNeko]

This guy should review Double Dragon.

[@MalamiteLtd]

Inspirational music please! *Zamboni theme*

[@retronewfie]

Poland has a hockey team?
