NHL All Star Hockey ’98 #BestOfSaturn

NHL All Star Hockey '98, produced by Radical Entertainment and published by SEGA exclusively in the West (North American and Europe) in 1997.
SHIRO! SHOW Recap

Perhaps the most playable ice hockey game on the Saturn, NHL All Star Hockey ’98 is actually a re-branded version of NHL PowerPlay ’98 by Radical Entertainment. Solid gameplay and an arcade feel gives this an NBA Jam vibe, except that it is far more true to the sport. Excellent.

Several useable camera angles are available. Here, the Islanders battle the “Phoenix” (now Arizona) Coyotes.
He scores! The animations are smooth and realistic.
Sharks Player Todd Gill gives the Flames player the ‘How do you do’ for wearing the same number as him (loading screen image).

A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming 'firsts' were commonplace.  There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
