Description
NHLPA Hockey 93 SNES
NHLPA Hockey ’93 is a Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System ice hockey game developed by Park Place Productions and published by Electronic Arts Sports Network. It is the second installment of the NHL series and the first to be released for the Super NES.
Although considered to be the second EA Sports NHL game, the game was not licensed by the NHL; however, it did receive licensing permission from the NHLPA. Because of this, all teams are referred to only by city (the New York Islanders were referred to as “Long Island”) with no use of the team name itself. Additionally, no NHL team logos or NHL emblems are seen anywhere in the game.

The game features are a single-game exhibition mode and a playoff mode (single-elimination or best-of-7), wherein the winner collects a trophy similar to the Stanley Cup. The game includes mostly complete rosters and all 24 teams from the 1991–92 NHL season, including the expansion Tampa Bay Lightning and Ottawa Senators.
The Genesis version also included EEPROM saving, which allowed one to save lines and the ongoing Playoff, rather than use passwords as in the Super NES version.
Another great retro game available at Escapist Gamer – NBA JAM (SNES)
