    NHL 97 + 1998 we're EPIC on the PC. esp when we got those adapters that let us use our fav controllers.
    -Back then you could REALLY see the difference on PC compaired to PlayStation1 and other consoles..
    It was so bright & clear & HD looking compared to fuzzy. but whatever.. ~I actually want to play these NHL games again ONLY because of the rosters..I really liked the late 1990's Hockey    NHL 97 + 1998 we're EPIC on the PC. esp when we got those adapters that let us use our fav controllers.

    ~I actually want to play these NHL games again ONLY because of the rosters..I really liked the late 1990's Hockey Rosters..Soooo much identity...

    I have no idea where to get these PC games. Ebay?
    Downloading anything from ThePirateBay.org is guaranteed malware from the site alone. that's on top of what you 're downloading..
    And I couldn't find these on EA Origins website...
    Why wouldn't they provide these to gamers?

    Supe rhard Slap Shots from Esa Tikkanen & Eric Lindros & defensemen.
    And Joe Sakic & TeemuSellaane Wrist shot. My Gawd.. Good times.

    ~NHL 97 has the 'special moves' for all elite players. And some were awesome like Gretzky & Bure's & Damphoost speed burst,,Cam Neely and super deeke.. And Keith Tachuck super check..i was bummed out they didnt' continue specials...

    If anyone knows how to play older NHL & Madden games on PC please lemmie know.
    Getting them on console is easier but will look awful..

    If you have awesome memories of these late 90's rosters then you will like this game...
    and you can atleast ULTRA the graphics,frame rate lol    … Expand

    Just another great NHL game from EA sports. It was a lot of fun, when it came out. The gameplay and graphics came a long way since NHL 97. The game came out during the Nagano Olympics. That being said, this is the first EA NHL game (not counting the European version of NHL hockey on Genesis) to include national teams.

Teams such as the host Japan, Italy, Kazakhstan, Canada, USA, Russia, Poland, Belarus, Czech Republic and others make an appearance. Due to a lack of the Olympic licence, the teams are filled with NHL players and fictional ones.… Expand
