Old Time Hockey is an arcade hockey game that crosses the 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 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 fore, 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.
