Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter EggsPlay as Gordie Howe: Create a new player and enter "G[Space]H" as the initials, March 31 as the date, and choose any size head. The announcer will say "Mr. Hockey" to confirm correct code entry.ConversionThe conversion kit can be used for any Midway four-player cabinet such as NBA Jam, NBA Hangtime or NFL Blitz. Placing the kit in a Konami four-player cabinet would require installing an extra button.Game IntroductionJust imagine NBA Jam, then replace basketball with hockey. You pick a team and then play for the Stanley Cup.Your team is made up of four of the best players. You pick two of three offensive players and then you are assigned the goalie. Between periods you may rotate the lineup. Stats are kept throughout the game and video movie clips are also played. Players may choose to insert their initials and birthdate to keep track of scores and stats. There is the classic "On Fire" mode which is a bar that builds up with every steal, check, and goal until you are finally on fire, which gives you unlimited Turbo. Game PlayTwo teamates play against two people on the opposing team. Each team also has a goalie (obviously) and between periods you can change your current players to put fresh legs out on the ice.The object of the game is to score the most points. You can control speed and angle of your shots by holding the Shoot button and opponents can be checked by pressing Pass and Turbo. The goalies are controlled by the CPU and can be tough. There are no penalties here so it is a fight to the finish.
