About This Game
Released in 1988, Blades of Steel was one of the first hockey games to include fighting as a gameplay element. When two players clash, the game switches to a one-on-one fighting mini-game.
The game features international teams (though not officially licensed) and includes a tournament mode where players can compete for the Blades of Steel championship.
Praised for its smooth animation and responsive controls, Blades of Steel became one of the most popular sports games on the NES and is still remembered fondly by retro gaming enthusiasts.
