About this game

Ice Hockey is a one- or two-player sports game centered on fast, customizable matches. Before play begins, you select a team and assign players one of three types: small and fast, large and powerful, or average in speed and ability.

During games, the screen scrolls to follow the action. On offense, you control the player carrying the puck, while on defense you can choose which player to control. Fights may break out, with the losing player potentially sent to the penalty box.

Five game-speed settings are available, and periods can last 7, 10, or 15 minutes. The game was released for Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Nintendo Entertainment System, and Nintendo Famicom Disk System.
