In the tradition of NBA Jam comes NHL Open Ice, a two-on-two arcade hockey game featuring both an NHL and NHLPA license for real teams and players. There are over 120 stars in total (each rated in skating, shooting, passing and checking ability) on 26 teams (with rosters and ratings reflecting the 1995-96 season). Chicago Blackhawks announcer Pat Foley will call the play-by-play as you skate down the horizontal rink looking to score on a one-timer, wrist shot or slapshot. Controls are kept simple: pass, shoot and turbo buttons are all you'll need to remember while playing.

Every time you steal, check, score or get an assist, your "hot meter" will become charged. Once it's maxed, you'll be on fire! This means you'll have greater accuracy and velocity on your shots. If you have a memory card, the game will keep track of the top ten users in Most Games Played, Best Win Percentage and Most Points. Other features include a digitized scoreboard, five difficulty levels, adjustable period lengths from one to nine minutes, normal or big head size, two player versus or co-op play, and tournament mode. So what are you waiting for? It's time to put the "biscuit in the basket!" NHL Open Ice for the PlayStation is a translation of Midway's 1995 arcade game Open Ice.
