Blades of steel
This game is good but still far from what a hockey game could be. It has fairly good gameplay, but the manual goalie makes this game lose serious marks. But that bring said it's an earlier hockey game on an 8bit console.... Read Full Review

well puck me sideways
Along with nes golf this was the first sports game I ever played. They're both similar in that they're simple but addictive and radiate charm. The arcade version released a year earlier surpasses it in graphics and sound... Read Full Review

One of the best sports game I have ever played for the old NES.
Long before the NHL started licensing ice hockey games for household gaming consoles, Blades of Steel was one of the first games to "break the ice" (no pun intended) when it came to sporting games. You play as either ... Read Full Review

Blades Of Steel is really simple but its overall quality is astonishing.
What makes a great hockey game? Well, to answer this question you have to look no further than the original NES, more specifically, Blades Of Steel, Konami's ice hockey title. It proves that you don't have to have a lice... Read Full Review

Classé par le Graph, la Music, l'histoire, l'appréciation, la duré de vie et sa difficulté.

Blades Of Steel (NES) is a classic game and in my opinion the best hockey game ever made.
Konami knows hockey! and some gifts from Mom and Dad are great! I didn't ask for this particular game (at least not that I remember anyway) but, I got it nevertheless and after I've played this game I'm glad I did. I do ... Read Full Review
