Slapshot

Slapshot is an excellent simulation of ice hockey between two players. The action is very similar to Commodore International Soccer, with a third of the pitch in view at any time and one player under your control and the rest computer controlled.

Play action is very realistic, as is the graphics, an added bonus is the software speech which sounds as good as any speech that I've heard, and sounds like it was done by the same group that provided the speech for Ghostbusters.

There are many features to the game including body checking and knocking your opponent's legs away with your stick, leaving him sitting on the ice.

All together, an excellent game well worth getting.
