Tecmo Super Hockey is a professional hockey video game that was developed and published by Tecmo, and released in 1994 for the Sega Genesis. An SNES version was planned, but cancelled. It was not licensed by the NHL, but did have a license from the NHLPA.

The game received mixed reviews from critics, who called the game overly simplistic.

Gameplay

The game can be played by one or two players, and includes both preseason and regular games.[1] Playing a full season is also possible, with real NHL players of the time and stats in eight categories.[1]

The game features brief animated fight sequences that appear randomly to add excitement.[1]

Reception

GamePro rated the game 70/100, calling the game a "simplistic cart" that "won't satisfy serious gamers", only suggesting the game "if your store is out of NHL '95 or Brett Hull Hockey".[1]

Game Players rated the game 73/100, calling the game "an arcade-style cartridge with hints of a sim" and calling it entertaining but repetitive.[2]

Mega Fun magazine rated the game 39/100, calling the game poorly programmed and the movement "like brontosaurs over the ice".[3]
