DESCRIPTION

Billed as the first "complete hockey simulation," Superstar Ice Hockey distinguishes itself from the competition by letting you play, coach, and manage. Choose from 20 unlicensed teams and track your league's progress over the course of nine seasons. On the ice, you can play as your team's center or goalie. Coaching duties involve setting your team's lines and rotations, while general manager responsibilities include trading and drafting players. The action is viewed from a side-view perspective in a window spanning the top half of the computer screen. The rest of the screen is devoted to the score, period, penalty times, and a list of active offensive and defensive lines. Adjustable options include period length, number of players on the ice, and versus play against the computer or a friend. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
