Man, Tecmo Super Hockey on the Genesis yɛ saa agodie no mu baako a ɛte sɛ nea ɛteɛ ara kwa —te sɛ devs no ankasa bɔɔ hockey ansa na wɔreyɛ. Nea ɛto so abien a wobɛtɔ mu no, wɔtow wo tẽẽ gu nsukyenee no so a chunky pixel players a wotu kwan kɔ hɔ yɛ mmerɛw sen sɛnea ɛte. Nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma no? Simple —pass, shoot, check —nanso luck a ɛnyɛ sɛ wobɛbɔ wo ho akɔ boards no mu bere a worebɔ mmɔden sɛ wobɛhyehyɛ slap shot.

Nea m’ani gye ho ne sɛnea ɛyɛ basabasa. Pucks bounce off skates, goalies dive te sɛ maniacs, na ntɔkwaw bubu sɛ wo mash buttons no pɛpɛɛpɛ a. AI no nyɛ atirimɔdensɛm, na mmom saa akuw a wɔbaa akyiri yi no? Wɔbɛwiawia wo ho akɔto wrist shot atwam wo ansa na woabɔ wo ho mpo. Na yeah, graphics no yɛ pure '90s —ti akɛse, bright jerseys —nanso ɛwɔ saa weird charm yi a wogyae noticing akyi simma anum efisɛ wo nni adagyew dodo sɛ wobɛteɛteɛm agu ref no so.

Sɛ woanya Genesis a ɛboaboa mfutuma ano a, bɔ eyi mu.Ɛyɛ hockey a enni fluff no, straight-up arcade chaos kɛkɛ.
