World Hockey '88

Ice Hockey on the NES is one of my favorite retro sports games, and this feels like Ice Hockey Plus. Similar art style (which I like), smoother gameplay, more teams to choose from (not even counting unlockables), variable difficulty levels and speeds so it can grow along with your own skill. I keep coming back to it, even when I want to do other things with my day. I'm not even a sports guy and I'm loving it. Give it a try.

[Updated Review - 12/16/25] Developer has been incredibly responsive and has fixed many of the game-breaking issues we previously experienced. Most of the major concerns have been addressed, though there are still a few minor bug fixes and quality of life changes I'd love to see. I'm confident that this game will get the polish it deserves, and if you have any nostalgia for retro hockey games (or just like hockey or sports in general) I would strongly suggest you give this a try. It's fun, easy to pick up, and has a nice blend of casual and skill play.

Insanely fun!! Really good arcade style of game play. I especially enjoy the fact that there are various tournaments from various time periods.

fun lil' arcade game , i can see people gettin' addicted to it and playin at a high level at it.... i also deeply love the visual effects and pixel art. five billion people should be playin this perhaps..!

Addictive! Love the new updates! Would love a custom team editor/name/ colours but I can wait :) great fun from a massive EIHL, NHL and PWHL fan! Keep your eye on the puck at all times :)

Wonderful game, would love to see some more unlockable teams, possibly even custom teams.

its pretty good
