Each team tries to put the puck into the opponent's goal. A game consists of three periods, and the team with the most points at the end of those three periods is the winner. When the score is tied at the end of the three periods, the game will be decided by penalty shots. If the score is still tied following the penalty shots, the game will go into overtime without any goalies. At the Start of the game, and the start of each period, one player from each of the teams goes to the center of the ice to have a face off with their opponents . From there on out, it's nonstop mayhem on the ice, a battle to the end. Will you be the champion? -==========================================================- P R E C A U T I O N S -==========================================================- As you know this is any old game. You are likely to get some dust in there now and than and other things so here is a little precaution list to keep it fine. 1. It should not be stored in places that are very hot or cold. Don't drop or take apart. 2. Avoid touching connectors, do not get them wet or dirty. Doing so may damage the game. 3. Do not clean the cartridge with anything else than the NES cleaning kit because you will be taking a risk if you do so. 4. Use a pocket protector to protect the connectors. Using them will keep dust out and make your game last longer. -==========================================================- G A M E S E L E C T I O N M E N U -==========================================================- Press the start button during demonstration to display the game menu.

Use the D-PAD to move the cursor from player to player. Thin players, average players and bulky players each have different traits or physical qualities. Think carefully about the team formation you want. ____________________________________________________________ |P H Y S I C A L| T H I N |A V E R A G E| B U L K Y | |F E A T U R E S| P L A Y E R | P L A Y E R | P L A Y E R | |_______________|_____________|_____________|______________| | | | | | |S T I C K I N G| F A S T |A V E R A G E| S L O W | |_______________|_____________|_____________|______________| |S H O O T I N G| | | | |S T R E N G T H| W E A K |A V E R A G E| B L A S T | |_______________|_____________|_____________|______________| | B O D Y | | | | |C H E C K I N G| F E E B L E |A V E R A G E| S T R O N G | |_______________|_____________|_____________|______________| | | | | | |F A C E - O F F| G R E A T |A V E R A G E| P O O R | |_______________|_____________|_____________|______________| -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= P L A Y E R S T A T S -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= __________________________________________________ _________/P L A Y E R S T A T I S T I C S ================= T Y P E T H I N P L A Y E R ================= 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 =================------------------------------------ S P E E D | =================------------------------------------ =================---- S T R E N G T H | =================---- =================---- C H E C K I N G | =================---- =================---------------------------- F A C E - O F F | =================---------------------------- =================------------------------ H A N D L I N G | =================------------------------ =================---------------------------- S H O O T I N G | =================---------------------------- =================---------------- P A S S I N G | =================---------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= __________________________________________________ _________/P L A Y E R S T A T I S T I C S ================= T Y P E A V E R A G E P L A Y E R ================= 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 =================-------------------- S P E E D | =================-------------------- =================-------------------- S T R E N G T H | =================-------------------- =================-------------------- C H E C K I N G | =================-------------------- =================-------------------- F A C E - O F F | =================-------------------- =================-------------------- H A N D L I N G | =================-------------------- =================-------------------- S H O O T I N G | =================-------------------- =================-------------------- P A S S I N G | =================-------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= __________________________________________________ _________/P L A Y E R S T A T I S T I C S ================= T Y P E B U L K Y P L A Y E R ================= =================---- S P E E D | =================---- =================----------------------------------------- S T R E N G T H | =================----------------------------------------- =================------------------------------------ C H E C K I N G | =================------------------------------------ =================------------ F A C E - O F F | =================------------ =================---------------- H A N D L I N G | =================---------------- =================---------------- S H O O T I N G | =================---------------- =================---------------- P A S S I N G | =================---------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= T E A M S T A T S -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The chart below is what you will see when you choose your player.

Just pay attention and you will do fine. Defensive Tactics : Canada is the hardest team in the game and you should not take the games you play against them lightly. Especially if you are playing as a sucky team. Stay on high defense with them do not play an offensive game or you will lose. Take the shots when all the Canadian players are on the other side of the ice for max effectiveness. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= U N I T E D S T A T E S -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= D E F A U L T S E T U P A V E R A G E ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | A V E R A G E | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | A V E R A G E | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| A V E R A G E -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= S U G G E S T E D S E T U P A V E R A G E ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | A V E R A G E | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | B U L K Y | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| T H I N Offensive Tactics : If you are United States you have a good chance of winning and a good chance of losing. They are the average team in the league. When using the United States always have two average players for the best effectiveness. Defensive Tactics : United States is pretty much the average team in the whole game. I personally use the United States and they can kill the cream puff teams and lose to the harder teams. So when facing them always use your best lineup by matching equally up to theirs. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= S W E D E N -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= D E F A U L T S E T U P B U L K Y ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | A V E R A G E | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | T H I N | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| A V E R A G E -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= S U G G E S T E D S E T U P B U L K Y ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | B U L K Y | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | A V E R A G E | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| A V E R A G E Offensive Tactics : When you are Sweden it's either all or nothing. What I mean is take risks as much as you can because if you don't you will lose and get annihilated. Using two bulky players and two average players is the best set up because you can knock the puck away with the bulky and shot with the average. Defensive Tactics : These guys are cream puffs. If you have any knowledge of playing this game you will kill them. Just keep the puck near there goalie and don't ever give them a chance to score. This is the best strategy to kill Sweden. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= C Z E C H O S L O V A K I A -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= D E F A U L T S E T U P B U L K Y ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | A V E R A G E | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | B U L K Y | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| B U L K Y -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= S U G G E S T E D S E T U P B U L K Y ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | A V E R A G E | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | A V E R A G E | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| T H I N Offensive Tactics : If your playing as Czechoslovakia than you got on thing on your side, and that is your the second best team next to Canada. Use a basic set up for effectiveness and don't go overboard with a crazy set up or you just might lose. Make the Czechoslovakians keep control of the puck and you will have a great game. Defensive Tactics : This is one tough team. If they use the right set up they can become the best team in the game. If you are lucky enough to score a goal against them than keep the puck and don't even bother to shot since you already have a goal and you do not need another. If they get the puck they are very deadly, so watch out! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= S O V I E T U N I O N -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= D E F A U L T S E T U P B U L K Y ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | A V E R A G E | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | T H I N | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| B U L K Y -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= S U G G E S T E D S E T U P B U L K Y ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | T H I N | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | A V E R A G E | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| B U L K Y Offensive Tactic : Soviet Union is a so-so team that will get tossed around by the bigger teams and can conquer the smaller teams. So while Soviet Union play smart by passing to each other rather than just one player doing it. Confuse your opponent by constantly passing and than shooting. Defensive : Again the Soviet Union is a so-so team that will put up a fight when you play them. It will be a close battle no matter what team your playing against them as. Match up against their set up so it will be equal and the game will probably result in that lucky shot to win the game. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= P O L A N D -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= D E F A U L T S E T U P B U L K Y ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | T H I N | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | A V E R A G E | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| T H I N -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= S U G G E S T E D T E A M B U L K Y ____________________ | | | | | T W O | | | |____________________| | | | | | | | | A V E R A G E | |__________________ | | | | | | | | O N E | | | | | |__________________| | | B U L K Y | | _________________| | | | | | | | | T H R E E | | | | | |_________________| | | | | | | | | | | | |____________________| | | | | | F O U R | | | |____________________| A V E R A G E Offensive Tactics : When you are Poland it's either all or nothing.

If you have any knowledge of playing this game you will kill them. Just keep the puck near there goalie and don't ever give them a chance to score. This is the best strategy to kill Poland. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= H I N T S A N D T I P S -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= In this section I will give you hints and tips to mastering the game of Hockey. - Don't use all one player. - Make sure you have one of each player (Average , thin and bulky) and an extra one of a player. - When a player has a puck use your bulky player to knock it away from him - Use your average or thin player to take the face-offs, using the bulky player will make it less likely to win the face-off. - When on a break away make a fake shot (tap B lightly) and than shoot it at the goal (B hard) to most likely score. - Pass, Hockey is not a one team's sport you have to pass the puck a lot. This will keep the opposing team away from the puck. - When the opponent is by your goal and they have the puck put all your players except one by the goal, the other one should be down the ice so you can pass to him when you get the puck giving him a break away. - When you are shooting a penalty shoot go to the right, I have found that it is more likely you will score on the right than the middle or the left. - When a goalie is out of net use your bulky player to have the puck so he can have control over it not allowing the other team having it. - If you still can not beat a certain team check out these cheat codes : - No Goalies At The Start Screen: Hold A and B on Both Controllers and then Start on the first controller - Non-Stop Puck and No goalies! On he title screen hold down the A and B buttons on controllers 1 and 2, then press start on controller 1, now you'll have a puck that never stops moving, and no goalies at the nets. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= F R E Q U E N T L Y A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------------------------------------------ Question : What is the best team?
