This documentary is grossly under appreciated
I very much appreciate your comment! 👍
After Ice Pilots and before Plane Savers I made Pixelated Heroes! Thanks for checking it out!!
Awesome job Mikey wow sure tugged on the heart! Well Done!
Hay Mike whos the guy? at the @ mark in the video.. he looks familiar to me, is it Sroka :) invalid with Twingalaxieslive :) i got him om mt FB friends list :) small world
Great video Mikey, 94 for life!!
That face when you discovered that you held number 000001 in your hands!!!!! :-) :-D That alone was priceless!!! Awesome documentry!!! Loved it!
Brings back a lot of memories - mostly of spending an extra year in college because of all the classes I skipped to play this game.
Finally got to watch this! Thanks to everyone who were involved in making it! The interview with Mark Lesser was hands down my favorite part. I could have listened to that guy talk about game programming and NHL 94 for hours. 😁🤘
Fantastic! This was easily my most favorite game on Genesis. I'm surprised I even graduated college with all the time I sunk into it. A true classic. Great documentary!
Same here!! Thank you for watching!!
How weird was the Memories that came back to me watching this, Im 30 ish and I bought a Sega console for my kids (Megadrive?) its hooked to my tiny portable CRT tube TV id commandeered from the kitchen and my kids are brawling over something that happened playing NHL94 lol
I confiscated NHL94 for a few days and they went to play Sonic instead and yet the brawling continued between the older boys with weirdly the Younger 3rd Son ending it with a cracking shot to the nads with a cardboard cutout hockey stick id made them to play with in the lounge-room using the bath plug as a Puck.
Later I made 3 Sticks using plywood and man did that cause some carnage and even took them to an Ice Rink to see what Skating was all about.
Man they got dinged up playing with those pint sized Hockey sticks but no harm no foul and later in highscool they knew their way around the basics of Hockey in the Gym, Not unusual? It was in Australia lol
That moment when you were holding NHL 94 Number 1... wow. That must have been amazing!
The effort put into this documentary is amazing.
Thank you Bryan!!
Great work Mikey! This brought back many great memories of playing NHL 94 and Wayne Gretzky’s 3D hockey after hockey games and practice.
Gretzky 3D hockey is legendary as well.
This is the game that got me into hockey
Talk about a labor of love. Thank you from someone who doesn't follow hockey and doesn't play video games. I can't believe I watched the whole thing and enjoyed every minute. I'm still smiling.
This series was very popular in the UK, massively more so than any other North American sports game.
I still wear #27 in honor of the legend Jeremy Roenick. Met him a bunch of times and absolute beauty with the fans.
JR’s definitely a beaut. Back in ‘93 my friend called his hotel while I remained quiet on a 3way call. Pretty sure Amonte answered the phone and passed it to JR. JR was super cool right from the hop, soon after the small talk my friend asked if he could please have a game stick. To my amazement JR said I won’t give you one but I’ll make a trade for it. All he asked was if my friend had one of his rookie cards which he needed. Can’t recall if he wanted his French Upper Deck or O’Pee Chee Premier rookie card. The very next night after playing the Leafs JR met us at the back of Maple Leaf Gardens made the exchange with my bud and signed about 10 items for us, his golden aluminum Easton stick included!
This documentary is one of the best video game doc I have ever seen. So much passion shown by everyone involved. Very informative but also a great story. Great work Mikey!
Thank you very much for the kinds words and watching!
As from UK i have never watched this sport, so more the reason to watch this.. set reminder
The fact that the music was compared to Van Halen is a fitting tritube to the passing of Eddie Van Halen this week.
Awesome video Mikey
Looking forward to this - many fond memories of my dad and I playing ‘92 and ‘94 on the genesis.
Good job boys!!! This doc brought back memories of friends and I racing home from school to play. Life was better back then. So was hockey.
The original NHL hockey had the teams but only the player numbers. The next year NHLPA ‘93 had the real players but not the real teams. So when ‘94 came out, to have it all come together was magical.
No blood or fighting though
MAan, thank you so much for making this. I played 93, 94 & 95 incessantly back in the day. I lost days, many days, to these games. This documentary mad eme just go buy NHL 94 off Ebay...cannot wait to get it and push that cartridge in my Sega Genesis console. THANK YOU!
Glad you liked it Matt!
Great to see you finished it!!!
Mikey Dude! This is amazing! As a lifetime gamer since Pong, an ice hockey fan and player and an aviation nut, you hit all my buttons! No to mention an amazingly edited and this polished film is phenomenal. You good man. Kudos on all counts. Love it! Your skillz are world class, on all your videos. So much appreciation for you. You got a great life buddy!
Great video, thanks for that! I'm from the PC version NHL player, playing 94 and 95 till these days still on keyboard as in the old days 😀 Still remember the day I saw this game for very first time, it was huge step forward compare to face off and stuff like that, and then it took on PC about next 3 years before the 3D NHL was playable, so I think that is the reason what makes NHL 94 so legendary. Btw what you want to ask Jágr for question? Shame that he didn't have time, he is usually open to talk. Btw he is still playing until these days in Czechia, just announced his very last season. 🙂
I was so star struck I don’t know if I could even get a question out lol
Me and a good buddy of mine used to play this game religiously lol loved the nostalgic feeling I got watching this mikey. You can do no wrong pal keep up the great work 👍
Bravo! Love this whole documentary. Unreal to have a this huge following of my fav game!
I watch all your videos Mike because there always great content aviation and otherwise. Always great to here from you guys can't wait thank you Mike
This was really amazing. Good job buddy. One thing I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned was the amount of superstars/hall of famers in the game as well. Each team had a bunch it was the best era.
Mikey this was a great doco! I’m an Aussie aircraft, hockey, & video game fan so this was fantastic! Thanks!
I really liked this Mikey. Brought back tons of memories of playing this in high school with my buddies outside of Chicago. Thanks and great work!
Well done Mikey. Great tribute to the game that made my adolesence. Brilliant
Thank you for uploading this, this was amazing to watch! I'm slightly younger than you guys but my first video game was NHLPA 93. Thankfully I had a bunch of older cousins in my family that played 94 so I was always close by. Maybe I can consider myself "King of NHL Hitz" ;)
This was so good. Great job!
Awesome video, Mikey! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
This is a wonderful doc. Thank you for spending the time to make this. I grew up on the EA hockey series. I had every game (for one console or another and a few years on pc) from the original up until the last game released on the original Xbox (I can't remember the year of the last one). This may surprise some of you, but 95 for Genesis was my absolute favorite.
Another superb film from Mr. McBryan. I hope you're submitting this to all the film festivals!
Such an amazing video! So cool to see so many hockey fans into NHL94! What were you going to ask Jagr? It sucks that you didn’t get to talk to him, but at least it’s cool to say we’ve seen him play live!
Really great stuff, Mikey. Thank you for your efforts on this one.
LoL this is really great going back in time what fun, God bless you Mikey.
NHL`95 was my personal Favourite, I just wish there was Fighting in it, but I still love all the hockey games
Yeah I had '95 as well. Good memories mate.
This was really great. Thanks for putting together this doc. Made my day.
I’m glad you liked it Danny!
this was an epic video. Im glad you made it
You keep blowing me away! That’s an excellent film Mikey, hope you and all are well and safe. Cheers.
Mark Lesser succinctly lays it out before us at the end, life experiences, something that's done well, will shine through an achievement and make it worth your while. And stays in the heart of people, keeps being cherished. Like this game that I want to play now, although I've just heard about it yesterday. And I'm not into sports titles on top. But that's the point, I've been told. So thanks for this documentary, and thanks Mark Lesser.
Thank you for watching!
Well done !! You successfully put all the ingredients together. You actually made this interesting to a non gamer. Mikey, with all sincerity, you are good at this. I truly can’t wait to see what is next.😊
Been waiting for this for years! Man I wish others in Australia had the hype yous do over there!
Love the Theo Fluery cameo!!!!
I love that guy ...
I'm a die hard Detroiter but always a huge fan of Theo....
Great job on the documentary this should have waaaaaay more views , I enjoyed the entire show , thank you ✌
Thank you for watching!!! 👍👍🏒
Really enjoyed, thank you and great job!
Thank you for watching!
Lovin the Hair Mikey!! Deadly brah!! Wicked Doc too man!! Thanks for this!! Hits close to home!
Glad you liked it Blake! 👍👍👍
Wow this is a hell of a documentary very well done, I remember playing nhl hockey in the sega as kid, brings back memories.
"Reminder" set for the premiere!
Great job man!!!
Very well made and thanks for making. Best game ever ;)
thank you! long live nhl 94
thank you for making this mikey, you culminated everything about the passion of nhl 94 into this, well done
Thank you for watching!
Nice job, and just in time for the NHL rewind release.
Thank you. I rediscovered my love for NHL 94 when EA released their "Rewind". Such a deep, fun video game that captures the spirit of hockey so well.
Just watched this again to get a hit of that lovely nostalgia feeling. Those last couple minutes of Mark Lesser were very motivating (45 Minutes in) "there's nothing trivial about something that is done well" will be my desktop wallpaper from now on.
👍👍👍👍👍
This was tremendous! Could have been a five part miniseries if I had my way.
Hey Mikey, I'm not sure if you're checking comments on this years later, but this is Stef, the girl who showed up to the first King of 94 to record some matches on a computer. Finally got around to watching the doc. Loved every second of it. I'm going to the King of 94 tournament in Toronto tomorrow. Hope our paths cross again sometime. :)
Say hi to everyone for me at the Tourney this year!!! I’m stuck at work
You got it!!!
I grew up with the EA NHL Franchise. From the first one in '91, I've owned/played them all. '94 definitely still stands out today. Growing up in Pittsburgh, I saw Jagr play in person all those years ago. Such a good player. (But, kind of a jerk, as you found out. RIP) The Lesser interview made it all better though. LOL Thanks for the vid! #SubForYou (and "King of '94")
Wow that was great. I had no idea this documentary even existed. :-)
Like households and neighbourhoods the world over, we had our own NHL mini league. I can still recite my lineup today.
wow! great job Mikey!... thanks 4 video. be kind.
Absolutely loved this Mikey played this in Australia during my childhood
That was great mikey 👍🏒🥅
The makeshift Cliff Ronning Jersey make me LOL. Great stuff and I absolutely love NHL '94.
Thanks bud!
I used to play this game with my brother and our babysitters 3 kids nearly every day after school from Kindergarten to grade 4.
#1 just sitting in a box. Clearly he didn’t care about it, yet the one guy who did was denied it.
Phenomenal game, great documentary, sad ending.
Wow I always said NHL 94 was the best. Mikey thank you for making a great classic video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Did not know Ron Barr was a real person. There’s a big smile on my face.
Wow... superbe documentary.. amazing. Thanks
Never played many video games growing up but this was great to watch ...Gavin
This was great!!!
I’ll be 41, I can’t tell you how many memories I have of this game...it’s also the first game I ever played online through dial up...Sega had something called xband...my mom use to hate it too...I still remember the glitch goal in this game too lol man I must admit I teared up watching this as memories with my brothers and I playing together flooded my memories...wish I still had it...
Already hit the like button!
Absolutely loved playing nhl 94 on the sega megadrive (British) with my younger brother in the north east of England!!
Great to watch it again! Glad to see I wasn't cut, lol
Awesome!! My childhood merory got activated again! 👍👍
When I was a kid, I rented NHL 96 and was blown away by it. But I didn't have the money to buy it, so I got NHL 94 second hand instead. And I gotta be honest, I liked 96 better, but I played 94 for so long that I learned to love that game and it marked me in a way that 96 didn't and I ended up never getting 96. Spent countless hours on it with my brother and it holds a very special place in my heart, it was worth a lot for me that I could own it.
I really love NHL 95 It has season mode. It's like a stand alone game of graphic. I really loved that 1 I played that 1 so much as a kid. I had them all I still have them all to this day but I do love 94 also I love em all from the Sega era.
Very nice doccumentary !!! I still play nhl 94 on both snes and geneses !!! And its very funny to thing that Canadians make fifa soccer game and we only have soccer minor league here 😂
worth watching, although we here in South Africa know NOTHING about the sport.LoL
Absolutely brilliant Mikey, and I know nothing about hockey.
I just wanted to say that what I just watched was very awesome I loved your program also that you were on my brother played it my best friends brother played on Sega I was no good at it but I was good at the hockey game came on regular Nintendo but I will say that it’s an awesome game that I can get those systems again I will get back into it and try to get you to spark something in me God bless you and your whole family mom dad everybody else in your family keep up the great videos the ones that I have seen of your videos are awesome God bless the world was all just get along
That #1 would grade and sell for well over 1M USD. I love the twinkle in his eye when asked about the barn. Great documentary guys!
Thanks for watching!!
I remember playing NHL 94 with a friend from school at his apartment when we were kids.
I love that you mentioned the ultra rare card set. I managed to find the whole set sealed yesterday...I immediately jumped on the opportunity
Who in the heck thumbs down this thing? Boo on them. Anyway, nice job Mikey. I bought the video back on that old platform, and it's still a great watch. I see that Arda voiced over that old clip we talked about.
SNES version of 94:
- score a goal and celebrate with riding the stick or gliding on knees with hands raising the roof, or lifting a leg up and fist pumping.
-crowd in San Jose doing the chomp motion with their hands while Jaws song plays
-5 players
-body check opponents fully into bench
-goalie actually smothers the puck when wanting a whistle
-Jersey designs are accurate to their nhl counterparts
-colour player images
-Ron Bar behind desk like a tv show presentation
-much more variety of organ music during gameplay
-better intro and menu music
It’s not just an updated roster of NHL ‘92 like the Sega version.
nhl 94 literally raised me...I should have been in this documentary...I remember the first time I played it. it was 3am, I woke up my mom, she heard me, then I quickly turned everything off and pretended I was sleeping on the couch...haha. Legit though, I had a rough childhood and NHL 94 was the best distraction I could have from my reality.
I also mastered the game to the point I would play as an All Star team against the Ducks and pull my goalie the entire game, but still win. Also rolled up to 99 goals once,..i forget what happened after though.
Awsome Mikey! Had almost forgotn my angry mum when I bought the game without beeing allowed....
I grew up in a little hockey town here in Minnesota. We used to Have Minnesota High School Hockey Tournaments on Sega using this game. You had to change the lineups (No Player over a 75 rating) and we matched the teams to Minnesota High Schools by color. We would have over 20 people drinking beer and playing. It was a blast and we still talk about it and say things like "Remember that night when Willmar won the MHSL Tourney"
NHL 94 was awesome on the Seaga Gensis.
Me and my buddies in the barracks used to have Madden 93 tournaments. Then when NHL94 came out we all switched over and it became our defacto tournament game.
NHL "94 is the only NHL title to outsell a Madden tile :)
@@MikeyMcBryan cool to know. Still have my copy.
Mikey great show no nothing about hockey top job mikey
Oh my goodness. NHL 94 WAS college... We all played the crap out of that game.. It was the best
great job!
I’m still kicking myself for getting rid of my Sega Genesis and games, including NHL 94-98.
Me too
Easy to find used for about $60 for the genesis, $5-10 for the games!
@@smozoma yeah I know, but it would still be nice to have the ones I had from back in the day. I remember playing the season mode and as trades would happen along the way in the NHL, I would make trades in the game to match real life. Trade deadline deals got crazy.
@@smozoma i actually just bought an og genesis with 2 controllers and nhl 96 lol it was my fav one as a kid.
Me too! I owned 94-97 at the time. I think by 97, everyone tried to get a ps1. Sega genesis/snes slowly faded away. No matter how much better the graphics or how realistic the newer games are, nhl 94 will always be the beat hockey game ever made!
what a hidden gem this is somehow at 3.49am here in England i came across this (never played the NHL94 or even watched a full ice hockey game) but this documentary was a great watch
Thanks mark!
