Description from the packaging.

"The best sports simulation on any computer for any sport." Amiga+ Magazine.

Face off with "The Great One", number "99", Wayne Gretzky, nine-time winner of the NHL's MVP award and all-time hockey great. Designed with Wayne and other hockey professionals, this riveting simulation is packed with all the excitement and hard-hitting action that could be squeezed into a computer. From the adrenaline rush of a breakaway goal to the tension of sudden death overtime, Wayne Gretzky Hockey takes you onto the ice for the ultimate test of skill.

Incredibly realistic Design:

  • Each player is rated in 11 skill categories including skating ability, stamina, puck control and aggression.
  • Options include dual game speed, multiple difficulty levels, practice time, adjustable period length and more.
  • Control any player, coach from the bench, or let Wayne coach and watch the action from the stands.
  • Make up teams, create unique players, load and save teams from disk, or use the special teams provided.
  • Display, print or save extensive team and player stats.

Spectacular graphics and sound:

  • Actual digitized fight videos drop you right into the middle of the action when the playing gets rough!
  • Digitized sound effects taken right off the ice!
  • Variable speed, user-controlled instant replay lets you review the action in forward or reverse!
  • Animated refs make the penalty calls!
  • Overhead, real-time graphics let you experience the brilliant stickwork, the finesse of a passing game, the thrill of a last second save or the crunch of a bone-wrenching body check!

Endorsed by the greatest name in hockey!
"Bethesda Softworks has been working on this game for almost two years. Their level of commitment and the desire to "get it right" is what impressed me enough to become involved. While I may not be an expert on computers, I do know a little bit about hockey, and with this game, you'll feel like you're actually lacing up and stepping onto the ice. It's also a lot of fun to play and a great way to learn about some of the finer points of hockey." - Wayne Gretzky.
