Brett Hull Hockey '95 is one of those classic Sega Genesis hockey games that somehow nails the fast, arcade-y feel of the sport without getting bogged down in realism. The controls are simple—pass, shoot, check—but the gameplay’s got just enough depth to keep you coming back. You’ll notice right away how smooth the skating feels compared to other hockey games from that era.

It’s got all the NHL teams and players from the mid-90s, so if you’re nostalgic for that era, this is a solid pick. The AI isn’t brutal, but it’s not a pushover either—you’ll actually need to play defense instead of just sprinting down the ice for breakaways. And yeah, Brett Hull’s shot is as overpowered as you’d expect.

If you’re emulating it, the pixelated jerseys and chunky sound effects still hold up surprisingly well. Just don’t expect any fancy modern features—this is pure, old-school hockey.
