Lots of nostalgia in the video below…
NHL 94 is the obvious classic of the bunch but I probably spent more time playing EA NHL 2000 than any other video game in my life.
Nothing spectacular about that particular game – just came at a time when I had lots of free time (no kids!), had pretty realistic gameplay all things considered, the controls were less complicated than newer games which have a much higher learning curve plus with the Blomann Editor, you could keep the rosters up-to-date which increased the lifespan of the game. I know I was still playing it in 2005 and perhaps I need to dig out that old CD-ROM and start playing again!
