Attention hockey fans - Stop what you're doing and go buy NHL 06.

[MillerTime2523]

I'll give you three good reasons to go out and buy NHL 06.

1. It's two games for the price of one.
2. 06 is decent, but the 2nd game included is arguably one of the best old school hockey games (NHL 94)
3. It's $4 at EB/GS!

Okay, so this version of 94 isn't a PERFECT port (sound quality is meh, among other minor things), and the rosters aren't the real deal (fake names and numbers), but you really can't complain much for $4. If the game was released to the PSN or XBLA I'd probably pay upwards of $10 / $15 for it, even in this state. Yeah, it's probably my favorite sports game of all time.

So yeah, anyone even remotely interested in hockey games should go pick this one up ASAP if you haven't already.

Unless you're like me and you already have a copy of NHL 94 that you play almost daily and that hardly ever leaves your Genesis. But otherwise, yes I agree, buy NHL 06.

NHL 94 is also my favorite sports game. So much so that I haven't bought another one since. Executing a perfectly timed one-timer is still as satisfying as it's been for the last fifteen years.
