*Both of these play absolutely perfect on my Atom powered Netbook running full screen at my native resolution (1366 x 768) with all graphicall niceties set to max StiGGy takes the to the ice and whips one in…the crowd goes wild and thanks to the audio importer my victory dance is played out to a section of Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses. I fear a 5 minute penalty isn’t going to be enough to get over this pounding! Not a great idea to square up against Todd Bertuzzi. But who care, I get to join the might Bruins! Yup that’s me, although looking slightly alien as I’m not sure why it’s placed my eyes about a foot apart and my nose looking like it’s been squashed.
NHL 2002 also includes the feature to use a digital picture of yourself to create a player of your own which can be added to any team. There’s also hero moments when the camera zooms, everything goes bullet-type-esq as you break away to a 1 on 1 showdown with the goalie.

Want real real centre ice and Ad boards?, how about Bauer, Easton or CCN skates and equipment? or how about full team mods and helmet skins to match those of you favourite goalie? There are also a great many new features introduced in this release including emotion meter (players get a boost when you you’re on the up, perform a big hit, score shorthanded etc or decline in performance if you’re on the downside). It looks fantastic, plays fantastic and is still heartily supported by the huge modding community that sprung up around these great games. These days and for a fun game, my favourite has to be NHL 2002. I brought each copy of the NHL games up until around 2007 when they dicked around with the control set so much I lost interest. Up until then, games like this would either looked jagged and/or ran at a snails pace but with a 3DFX card in my PC, NHL 99 looked stunning with it’s a new shiney ice rink with reflected lighting, fluid moving players that had mapped faces to match those of their real life counterparts such as Koivu, Hassic, Lindros, Gretsky, Shennahan, Forsberg and on and on.Īudio was vastly improved including real life play by play commentary by Jim Hughson and other esteemed commentators, ice rink announcements, audio ditties between plays and the playing of the US and Canadian national anthems all helped to provide the perfect atmosphere not seen on any sports games (apart from soccer) that I’d witnessed before.Īs with all EA sports games, each year saw a new game in the series, sometimes with huge improvements and sometimes it seemed like the same game churned out with minor differences. NHL 99 was also a game that could take advantage of those new fangled 3D accelerated cards that were starting to become popular with PC gamers back then. The first part of the slow-mo intro to NHL 99 with it’s David Bowie track mixed game commentary still gives me goosebumps when i see it and the second part with it’s hard hitting heavy rock fueled track really gets you fired up. I’d played the cartoon-ish versions of early releases on the Snes and Megadrive but it wasn’t until a (Ice Hockey playing) friend of mine introduced me to NHL 99 on the PC did I really get into it and it’s real life sport in a big way.

Of all the yearly EA Sports game franchises that I immediately took to, it was the NHL Ice Hockey series of games. Being quite old now and released around the 98-2002 I thought I’d see how they’d fair on my Netbook*. Last weekend I was hunting around in my game library to find a Sega Dreamcast game I’d offered to lend a friend (Shenmue) and whist I was doing that I came across a a couple of PC games I’ve haven’t played in ages. Week no.3 and a little bit more time for some gaming fun this week.
