Games Like Old Time Hockey

Old Time Hockey is an arcade hockey game that crosses the clean, two-button simplicity of the 16-bit classics with the over-the-top speed and bone-crunching hits of late-'90s arcade rinks. It's built to be understood in seconds and hard to put down: a new player can score inside a minute, but mastering the one-timer takes a whole lot longer.

You watch the whole rink from a clean, broadcast-style 2.5D camera while real 3D players battle below. Tap to snap a wrist shot or hold to wind up a slapper. Thread a one-timer off a tape-to-tape pass. Dangle past a defender with a toe drag or a spin-o-rama, then turn around and flatten the puck carrier to spring a breakaway. String together goals and hits to catch FIRE — and when tempers boil over, drop the gloves in a quick arcade fight with a winner and a loser.

Pick from six not-so-original teams — each with its own city, colors, sweaters, and named barn — and play a full game with three periods, a game clock, faceoffs, penalties and power plays, goalies, overtime, and a shootout to settle ties. Play a quick Exhibition, grind a Season, sharpen up in Training Camp drills, or take it head-to-head in local and online two-player matches. Every goal lights the lamp and blasts the horn, the jumbotron erupts, and the booth cuts to an instant replay.

Fictional teams, players, and leagues only — no real names or logos, just old time hockey the way it's supposed to feel.
