Blades of Steel 1987

Is it still worth playing?

All teams are fictional but based in real Canadian and American cities. It is an ice hockey game, released for North American arcades in 1987 and ported to the Family Computer Disk System and Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. One or two can play, and against the computer there are three difficulty levels: Junior, College and Pro. Exhibition is a single game, while Tournament works like the playoffs, with the Cup awarded to the team that beats all the others. A fight starts when two players bump into each other three times in a row without hitting another player. They stop skating and exchange punches, and mutual punches lead to a fight screen where players can punch high or low and block high or low. A fast game of hockey with fights is still a good pick for two players.
