This was the first hockey game I ever played! Watching this brought back a lot of memories. I still knew that the players skated around 3 times before the game and a fight broke out if you bumped into each other thrice! Penalty shootouts were the best tho! It was a player taking a shot soccer style and you had to make the save using the D-Pad. I used go through whole games and tying on purpose just for those! Aaaah, souvenirs! :) Thanks for the vid man!
Best hockey game ever. I always picked New York because it looked like my home team the St. Louis Blues. My brother and I would get so angry at each other when we would score a goal.
"with the pass! with the pass! with the pass!" (or whatever he says, that was my interpretation at least) LOVE this game. The music is great. I loved the 2nd intermission videos on the scoreboard (especially the Contra-style mini game that you could play) Played this SOOOOOOO much in the late 80's
ahh memories, I totally forgot about this game. This used to be one of my fav NES games. Last time this game was even in my thought was like 8-10 years ago?
my grandma had this game at her house when i was like 6, the shootouts in this game are amazing. i am 20 now and i still play this once in a while. damn. fuck my life
i loved this game due to the fights! it's so simple to play a hockey game like this: one button to pass the puck and another to shot, that leaves all the focus on the fun (i miss those days so much)
loved the arcade version......had a big track ball to skate and a huuuuge "punch" button that blinked during fights......fuck.....take me back to my childhood bitches!!!!
While an obvious fail as a simulation experience this is still the most intense and white knuckling hockey game I have ever played. 2 player matches were epic.
i love this game. i only need one button to win it on pro really. just pass it in the net ;). good times right there. no second analog puck handling. this game made me believe the loser of the fight goes in the box. not both players :(
2 thing to said: About the EA "crap": They come out one version every year, so it's kind of normal that some version are not as good as expected since they simply competition them self without so many new thing... It's like ford making a car to competition the Mustang with the Mustang V8 inside of it. About getting a new blade of steel: Why not...
@tpp27 On my way to school I decided to start a new tournament with Toronto on the hardest mode because of your comment. I kicked ass all the way to the finals, until all of sudden I was losing for some reason. (I never lose.) 4 seconds left, I need to score to tie it up. I was determined to win, they got the puck, but I was able to get into a fight. I always lose the fights on that level, but I was determined to win, and then it was me against the goalie all alone, but I missed the shot. Tried.
Greatest hockey game of all time. Nothing even comes close. Loser of the fight goes to the box, genius!
This was the only sports game I ever liked. Me and my friend played this ALL THE TIME when we were kids. It was awesome.
I remember the movie they would play when you won the championship. Blades Of Steel was the best NES game ever.
Super Tecmo Bowl, Double Dribble, & Blades of Steel. Oh the memories.
Richard Johnson so true

i like the blades of steel sampled voice that was way ahead of its time
I like how the guy who loses the fight goes to the box.

0:52 Classic Leafs goaltending
lol
HAHAHA!!!
That was cold, yet so true.
LMAOOO!

I play this game long long time ago, awesome childhood.
Its hilarious that the guy who loses the fight is the only one penalized.
This is a real man's sports game, because it's not the actual hockey game that matters, it's beating the piss out of each other that matters.
ahh memories, I totally forgot about this game. This used to be one of my fav NES games. Last time this game was even in my thought was like 8-10 years ago?
I also used to have nightmares as a child because of those flashing players manoeuvering around the ice.
THESE GRAPHICS ARE AWESOME!!! (is what we used to say...).
in 1990, this was state-of-the-art awesome.
Both goals are so fucking hilarious. Especially the second behind the blue line hahaha
Best hockey game ever. The match opening music is just the best game music EVER.
Baseball Stars was awesome too
I like how the referee drags the guy who gets his ass kicked to the penalty box
Still love how the ref drags the guy off after the fight. That's awesome. I miss that game so much!
I remember playing this on NES. Old school fo sho.
Oh the memories.
I agree, games were much more simple back then... Now to play a hockey game you have to memorize fifty different moves lol
If you're not a 70's and 80's baby this video isn't meant for your entertainment
its so amazing how realistic video games get. look at this. then look at NHL 09. its so crazy
This game brings back soo many good memories. Me and my little brother used to play it all the time and I was always the New York Rangers : )
this and Ice Hockey are the best NES hockey games of all time.
YES! Go Chicago!
We used to always keep it tied and just skate around till time expired so we could go to shoot out.
Lol.. yep
This game wasn't even about hockey. It was about the fights that broke out.
Best hockey fight to this day!
i bought a nintendo recently with Blades of Steel, Mike Tysons Punchout, and Mario. The three best games.....i need contra tho.
Belo registro desse jogo :D
Best game ever back into the days!!! I remember my grand parents buying this game for my birthday !!
man i am unstoppable with minnesota!!!loved this game
my grandma had this game at her house when i was like 6, the shootouts in this game are amazing. i am 20 now and i still play this once in a while. damn. fuck my life
this was the best game on the NES
i loved this game due to the fights! it's so simple to play a hockey game like this: one button to pass the puck and another to shot, that leaves all the focus on the fun (i miss those days so much)
After a fight finishes, the game would just continue right as it was while the ref carries the loser off to the penalty box. Amazing. :D
Wow, it's like I was 8 years old again playing this game.
that fight looks like rock-em-sock-em robots
Started whistling the music one day. Couldn't remember where it was from until just today.
I haven't played this game since I was 7.
Vancouver was ALWAYS my team
*that ever so familiar whistle of the crowd sounds in the background*
even tho the graphics were shit, these games made the best memories :)
Ahhh nostalgia overload!
Best sport nhl based game i ever played in my childhood :)
loved the arcade version......had a big track ball to skate and a huuuuge "punch" button that blinked during fights......fuck.....take me back to my childhood bitches!!!!
Actually, the Blades of Steel theme song is pretty sharp. The muffled introductory by that guy is a little creepy though... "Blaaades of Steel".
games like this make me feel old, thx Nin10doking
This game reminds me of a game on the C-64 a hockey game Power Play USA vs Russia I had so much fun with it.
epic soundtrack
yesssssssssss! best game
The shootouts are classic
While an obvious fail as a simulation experience this is still the most intense and white knuckling hockey game I have ever played. 2 player matches were epic.
OMG!! Thank you for uploading I forgot about this game!! I use to love the "Fights"
i have the older version of this for the old GB
even in video games toronto cant catch a break LMAO
I can agree on that
Ah, back in the old days when play continued after a fight ended...
makes the...makes the...makes the pass !!
One of the best games Ever!!!!!
the memberberries are strong with this one
geez, raycroft must be in net for toronto
Awesome I remember this game I always tried to get into a fight on purpose! haha
I love how when a guy gets knocked out in a fight they keep playing lol
This is real hockey...where the LOSER of the fight goes to the box lol
i love this game. i only need one button to win it on pro really. just pass it in the net ;). good times right there. no second analog puck handling. this game made me believe the loser of the fight goes in the box. not both players :(

About getting a new blade of steel: Why not...
Yes i got it on vc and its awesome!!!
old school! :D
man i love this game
WITH THE PASS!
Yup. That's why they are doing that. They're mad at themselves for allowing a few garbage goals(cheap goals).
I love how after you beat your opponents ass in a fight the ref would drag his lifeless carcass to the penalty box
Classic, my 1st favorite game hahaha
I remember this lol
1:29 ahh lol
"press to pass" lol
Lol.. I always thought it was saying "that's a pass".
My fav moement is Beaten up, I always beat my firend and he losses 2 Hockeyesmans :D
toronto ftw and colors
THAT WAS COOL GAME HOURES:)

Fuck yes, this game was the shit
I played that at my grandmother's house whene I was like 5 or 6
I was out of ideas, so I named my fantasy hockey team after this game. Not a bad idea...
Pretty sure there should have been an offside call at 1:32
so ture
magic !
loser of the fight goes the penalty box how awsome was that
The Goldberg's brought me here
Biggest disc ever
Flashback flood.
Edmonton was king
1:29 "AAAAAAHH"
😂😂😂
Old Times
best part was only the loser of a fight got a penalty
PWAYFS OF SCHEEW
this game is basically a rehash of Pong, but with more shit happening lol
This is how I'm describing hockey from now on
