About Hockey
This game, as the name suggests, is a hockey simulation which is very similar to Mario Lemieux Hockey. There are 22 teams to choose from which are based on the NHL 91 line up though they can be changed if the player wishes. You control 1 player at a time and the CPU controls the rest of your team though you can switch to a different player at any time if the need arises. There is also a fight penalty system where you have to continually punch the an opponent in order to proceed. The game is viewed from an isometric perspective as if you were sat in one of the crowd seats.

Two-player ComLynx ice hockey, and one of the sports titles that actually justifies the link cable.
Alpine Software developed it and Atari published it in 1992. It is not NHL-licensed, so it uses real city names with invented teams — a contemporary reviewer noted the uniform colours are sometimes dead-on and sometimes wildly not, singling out a Montreal side playing in hot pink. The fighting scenes are the animation showcase, complete with digitised grunting.
German reviewers flagged the real problem: the sprites are small, the puck is often hard to pick out against the ice, and you control only one player at a time. Head-to-head is the reason to own it. Community lists report ComLynx support, though the period Lynx FAQ does not cover the title, so we list that as reported rather than confirmed.
Before you buy
Cheap and low-risk. If you are building a linked set, remember you need two copies.
