NHL Hockey 99

Ice rinks carried a new look in 1998. NHL Hockey 99 arrived during that season with a rebuilt graphics engine, updated skating physics, and lineups that match the era. League clubs fill the roster list, and international squads expand it further with teams such as Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Russia. Prestige sits over every matchup, with two sides chasing the puck across the rink and trying to beat the goalie before the other net gets hit.

How to play?

Pick a full season, an exhibition game, the playoffs, an NHL tournament, or matches with world teams, then choose the club or country you want on the ice. Send the puck across the rink with stick passes, push attacks toward the crease, and block chances at your own end before the score swings. Wins come from putting more shots in the net by the final horn. From the options menu, adjust the camera view, change graphics settings, and remap controls to fit the way you like to play.
