Hit the Ice , released in 1993, is a fast-paced and high-impact hockey game. Having more in common with Midway's Arch Rivals than any sane hockey simulation, this arena is no place for penalties, and no place for wimps.
The gameplay is focused on checking and strong shots, allowing players to send the goalie into the net along with the puck through a "super shot". Exhibition and tournament modes are available for one or two players, while two-player teams can take on the computer. Other versions of the game add unique multiplayer modes, such as four-player and "shot race" modes.
