Play Wayne Gretzky And The Nhlpa All-stars (usa, Europe) Online

Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA All-Stars came out for the Sega Genesis in 1995, published by Time Warner Interactive. It arrived during the console's later years, a time when sports games were becoming more common. The game was notable for featuring the NHLPA license, which meant you had real players, but no official NHL team names or logos due to the lockout that year.

You control a five man squad of hockey stars, either from the USA or Europe, and your main goal is to score more goals than the opposing team. The gameplay is fast paced arcade hockey, not a simulation. Signature mechanics include the one timer pass for quick shots, a turbo boost for sudden bursts of speed, and big, physical body checks that can send players into the boards. The action is constant and the difficulty can be sharp, especially against the computer on higher settings. It feels like a frantic, back and forth game of shinny on a digital rink.
