Play Nhl : Blades Of Steel 2000 Online

NHL: Blades of Steel 2000 was a Konami release for the Game Boy Color, arriving when handheld sports games were often simplified versions of their console counterparts. It carried the name of a well known arcade and NES hockey series, but this portable entry had to carve out its own space on a system with limited hardware.

You control a five man hockey team, skating up and down a single screen rink. The main objective is to outscore your opponent within three periods. Signature mechanics include a one button pass and shoot system, where the same button contextually decides your action, and fighting; when players collide, the game shifts to a one on one fistfight that you must win to avoid a penalty. The pacing is fast, with quick transitions from defense to offense, and the difficulty can feel sharp, especially against aggressive computer teams. It feels like a brisk, physical arcade match squeezed into your hands.
