It's a solid hockey game with 8 teams to choose from. A friend of mine and I would use every chance to get away from the school and play a game or two (although sometimes we played Lotus Esprite or One-on-One basketball). I loved the graphics and the fun the game provided (especially in two player modus). I have to tell you right away though, that this game was ported for C64 two years after it was released for the PC (that didn't happen very often that a PC game would be ported to C64, it was usually the other way around). Several short clips of digitized voices are also featured.īlades of Steel was the first computerized hockey game I ever played.

The referee will break up fights that go on too long, and calls a few penalties such as icing. The player has control during the miniature fight game sequence, with the loser having to spend time in the penalty box. From time to time a fight may break out, which will provide a close up view of the two players. In one player mode there are single game and tournament mode options. Based on the arcade game, Blades Of Steel is a hockey arcade action game (gameplay doesn't require the need to worry about statistics or provide the ability to customize teams.) Two players can play against each other, or one player against the computer.
