Blades of Steel

(4.2)

1988

Blades of Steel, later released in Japan as Konamic Ice Hockey, is an ice hockey video game released by Konami for North American arcades in 1987, and ported to the Family Computer Disk System and Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. All teams are fictional but based out of real Canadian and American cities. The game is known for its fast-paced hockey action and especially for the fighting. It is a one or two player game. When playing against the computer, there are three difficulty levels to choose from: Junior, College, and Pro (with Pro being the most difficult and Junior being the easiest). Each team consists of three forwards, two defencemen, and a goaltender.

I spent many an hour playing this as a kid. It would be great if they released it with an online multiplayer mode.

It may not hold up as well today but I’ll give this one 4 stars because of nostalgia and because I’m Canadian (and hockey is in our DNA)!
I remember playing this game all the time with @mariomaestro growing up - so many good times! And of course, the fights were the best part! 😂

One of my favorites as a kid, and I still own it. I always thought they said "Hut The Pass" and I'll probably go on saying that...but according to Wikipedia

"The NES passing sound bite is garbled and has been interpreted as "With the pass", "It's a pass", etc. but the arcade passing bite is clearly audible and confirms the phrase as "Get the pass"."

Classic 8 bit fun. I rented the heck out of this one. Doesn't even matter that there were only 8 teams that were unlicensed. The fighting, the soccer-like penalty shots, the indecipherable announcer, the intermission games. Lose a fight? Into the penalty box you go. Konami made one of a kind here.

Great NES entry but not even the best hockey game on the system, so I can only give 4 stars.

I just remember how real this game looked as a kid. Compared to the games that were out for hockey. There was fighting, skilled face offs and quick passing. Not to mention a amazing between periods video and game. In 98 Konami tried to bring this back on the n64. Butttttttttt... nah. Stick with the original

My first introduction into Hockey games and they stuck with me ever since. It certainly shined a light on the sport that wasn't as popular at the time.
