From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey is a video game developed by Midway Games and released for the Nintendo 64 console on October 31, 1996. It was the first-ever 4-player game for the Nintendo 64. The game was subsequently re-released as Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98 and later in an Olympic version. The players are polygonal, not sprites. As opposed to the more realistic hockey gameplay seen in Electronic Arts' NHL series, the game featured a campy, unrealistic arcade-style gameplay, featuring moves such as "power saves", which caused the goaltender to briefly transform into a brick wall, "power shots", which would set the net on fire, and "power checks", which would send an ambulance across the ice.
