Also in this thrilling game there is included a smoothly running speech synthesis system of the very highest quality. Before the actual game starts each player must select an international hockey team to represent. After doing this you must quickly and skilfully manoeuvre your man across the glistening ice whilst your other team-mates move automatically around the rink waiting for you to pass the puck to them, [f you do manage to race past theopposingdefence then you have a chance to shoot for goal and score. However, you still have the goalie to beat who is able to dive in all directions. Also included in this amazingly quick and totally original game is the ability to actually physically bodyeheck your opponents. Never the less, do not be too aggressive otherwise you could incur a '•roughing penalty", resulting in a faceoff in your own end, giving the opposing side an easy chance of scoring. Also other extra features available include; Pause mode, and three levels of play ranging from fast to slow as well as a re- start option.
