Very cool. Be sure to take 10 minutes and look at all the years. I have some vivid memories of actually playing most of these games.

To all you video game fans: Enjoy the trek down memory lane.

P.S. I'm a newbie! Sorry, I just noticed that I posted this to the wrong forum. Please forgive...or if a Mod can move it that would be great.

I remember playing some of those as well. It also made me think of this classic clip

That was awesome.

I still have this one hiding in the basement. I'll have to break it out some day just to see how far the games have advanced in 14 years:

1989 was the year....

I remember NHL 95, for genisis. It was so easy to score. All you had to do was go benind the net and come into the slot and either shoot or set up for a one timer. i scored 99 goals one time.

nice find man

IGN gives NHL 08 an 8.9 (360)
