I recently got a chance to play '95 on a friends Sega Genesis. I hadn’t played any of these games for years but had a blast. I wasted many a day back in junior high playing these on both Genesis and Super Nintendo. Now I’m thinking of getting an old system and a version of the game so I can waste more days. I have some questions regarding specific details of each version for each system. Correct me if I’m wrong…
'93 for Genesis.
The first edition of the series.
had fighting but with limited lateral movement.
no injuries.
no stat tracking
no player identification on ice other than number
'93 for Super Nintendo
crappy frame rate compared to Genesis version
no fighting (?)
other than that, same as Genesis version.
'94 for Genesis
one timers (!)
figthing with unlimited lateral movement
injuries with blood
lots of stats
players id’d by number and position on the ice
'94 for Super Nintendo
same features as Genesis except no blood on injuries
'95 for Genesis
one timers
no fighting (!)
injuries with no blood
lots of stats
same on ice player id
'95 for Super Nintendo
not sure about this one, I think it’s pretty much the same as '95 Genesis.
There are a few other differences between systems that I’m aware of, the big one is that with the 6 button Super Nintendo controller, you could use the L and R buttons to instantly take control of the left or right defenseman. This was handy if you were stuck controlling a guy who got dumped at center ice.
If anyone can correct any of my guesses about different versions of this game or has any new insights for me I’d love to hear.
Thanks
