When I was 5 my uncle introduced me to Blades of Steel for the NES. My life forever changed in the next 10 minutes. Blades of Steel was the first Ice Hockey game for the Nintendo Entertainment System and as far as this gamer is concerned the best hockey game in existence. The game was comprised of eight, count them EIGHT teams. Four from the American teams and four from the Canadian teams. Blades of Steel was a game of firsts to be sure. Besides being the first ice hockey game for the NES it was also a game that had something extremely rare for the time... Voice samples.
