NHL94
NHL '94 is the reason many Gen-Xers even know who Wayne Gretzky is in the first place. Not only did this iteration introduce the one-timer to the videogame series, but was also the first to support four players at once, making for many a lost afternoon with friends. Although the fights were toned down a bit and the blood was gone after '93, NHL '94 stands as a fast and fun experience that no hockey game has been able to live up to since.

Bottom Line: Play it! I wish I knew why it is the best, but by some ungraspable, unexplainable reason, this is the best NHL game I and everyone I know have played. After all these years, I can go up to anyone who had a SNES or a Genesis and say, "NHL 94' was the best NHL game," and they would be powerless to deny it, because its just so true.
Maybe its how well it runs- maybe its the additional controls that didn't appear in 93'- but personally, i believe it is one simple reason- it defines the NHL experience for an entire generation of gamers. If you find this masterpiece, covet it- you have yourself a crowning achievement in gaming. Learning Curve: Instant!
