So, long story short, I not only collect all Ice Hockey video games (emphasis on physical console games, but also PC to some degree) but I'm also trying to come up with a comprehensive list of all games that have released that include the sport of Ice Hockey in them to some degree, whether it be a full representation of the sport within the game (usually in a sports compilation game) or a level or mini-game with an ice hockey theme or a previously released game in a Greatest Hits style compilation (I've found many of these for Ice Hockey and Video Olympics for the 2600). Here is what I've come up with so far: My own personal rules don't allow for the inclusion of pure Street Hockey (though I may change this), Air Hockey (unless it is very much Ice Hockey themed) or Pong Hockey titles (i.e. referring moreso to standalone Pong console units). I also realize I don't list some of the earlier compilations for the Philips Videopac, Bally Astrocade and Odyssey II. I have those titles in other lists. I'm more concerned with the relative modern spectrum of releases, since there is a large pile of stuff that hasn't been as picked over as first/second-gen console generations. Arcade/Sim hockey is included as a game mode (2 vs 2 or higher, traditional scoring): Deca Sports 2 (Hudson) - 2009 - Nintendo Wii Deca Sports Extreme (Hudson) - 2011 - Nintendo 3DS (*known as Sports Island 3D in Europe) Instant Sports All-Stars (Merge) - 2022 - Nintendo Switch / Playstation 5 Junior League Sports (XS Games) - 2010 - Nintendo Wii Junior League Sports 3-in-1 Collection (FunBox) - 2019 - Nintendo Switch Europe ONLY Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo) - 2010 - Nintendo Wii Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo) - 2013 - Nintendo Wii U Mario Party 5 (Nintendo) - 2003 - Nintendo Gamecube Mario Sports Mix (Nintendo) - 2010 - Nintendo Wii Video Olympics (Atari) - 1977 - Atari 2600 (some label variations exist) NOTE: Also released as “Pong Sports” by Sears.

In addition to videos of my Gaming Odyssey, I am also recording my quest for the Activision patches (in virtual form, although I may try to track some of them down on eBay at some point). I had never heard of these until I happened upon Spider Fighter - which I think might just be the best single screen shooter ever made! – and, through emulation, singularly failed to reach the required score! I couldn’t let it lie, however, and - as I noted in the forums – I tried again on genuine Atari hardware, and managed to hit the requisite 40, 000 points quite quickly. No higher, just 40, 000. One day, I’ll try and hit the 50, 000 (I know, lofty ambitions;-)) This got me thinking. Why not try to get all of the patches!? I ignored the voice at the back of my head saying, ‘Because they’re hard when you have old-man reactions, you fool!’ The next obvious choice (as it was the next 2600 game in my main series), was River Raid…and dear me, that’s hard, so it’s one I’ll come back to! Likewise Enduro. I salute anyone who can reach the end of Day Five. I’m finally able to start Day Three, but am currently…resting, in order to, er, come back refreshed:) Following these failures, I the did a little research right here on AtariAge to try and find the games for which the patches are most easily attained. Ice Hockey seems to be one of them, so off I went, initially via emulation, one hopeful Saturday afternoon. It started well enough, with one or two goals scored right off the bat (or stick!). So encouraged was I, that I hit the screen-record button and restarted the game – this was going to be a piece of cake! So I played and played…and played, and lost and lost…and lost. For more than two hours I lost. Eventually I decided a break was in order… …I returned to Ice Hockey two weeks later while on holiday - via emulation, as I could only take portable technology with me, and my VCS doesn’t really fit into that category…or my suitcase. It seemed the break had helped. I was still losing, but to not quite such a humiliating de!ree. Finally, feeling relatively confident, I pressed record, an action which had previously triggered crushing defeat! And I did it. I actually did it. It was close (9 to 8 ) but hey, a win’s a win! The recording failed. I took this as a sign that I should really wait and try again on the real hardware - hooked up to a DVD recorder - which I did this past weekend, two weeks after the recording-that-wasn’t. Within twenty minutes, I won 14 to 6, and it’s an achievement of which I am very proud…and still slightly shockedJ So now I need to think about which patch to try for next. Are any other patches are considered ‘easy’? Any suggestions from the AtariAge cognoscenti will be very gratefully received and I promise to regale (!) you all with the story of my path to...ahem…glory! Here’s the video – just imagine my breath being very firmy held during the final minute! Until next time… Bobbety

Speaking of ice hockey. It would have been nice if we already had Champion Ice Hockey to our ColecoVision. It is an MSX game, but can largely be transferred to the ColecoVision. But maybe next winter, who knows.

Hello, You guys wanted me to notify you when I started putting the Probe2000 Cartridges up for auction on eBay, well the first one just went up on ebay. It is Ice Hockey, that is a complete game, but was done in house at Probe2000/NAP as is evidence by the 2 screw case and the custom pcboards and chips, that have only been seen on the other prototypes created by Probe2000 also. I have verified these games as working, and have included all the pictures of the games running, and the inside of the shell, and outside as well. I have been informed by people on other atari sites to start the bidding at $250, so this is what I have done. Good Luck, I hope you guys enjoy the games, I will list and auction more, once this first auction is over, if I am satisfied. Here is the link to the auction for you hardcore Atari2600 fans.. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 290738299725 Good Luck, and I will let you know when the others come up for sale also. I am only doing this because several people were interested and wanted to know when I put them up for auction, I'm sorry if this violates the sites rules or something... StOrM3
