Hockey
There is less debate among hockey fans about the best 16-bit hockey game - by far the most popular choice is NHL ‘94 on the Genesis. And like digital Bo Jackson’s Tecmo dominance, there is a particular player in NHL ‘94 who has legendary status among fans. The man himself enjoys his notoriety in the game, saying “I wish I was as good in real life as I was in that game.” He’s being somewhat modest on that point, as he racked up 50 goals and 57 assists for the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1992-93 season, which is where NHL ‘94 based its ratings from. Name the man with the terrifying slapshot who dominates NHL ‘94.
