NHL 98 ( Windows / PC )

[@Camaro69z]

This was a good one. The abuse of the official penalty when you body checked the ref is a fond memory.

[@peterdarcy2320]

MY #1 FAVORITE hockey game EVER. Oh the good old PC/PS1 days of the late 1990's. Next to NHL 94 of course (#2), this game went to serious lengths, nasty checking, hard hockey, physics, deep stat Tracking and user records, fantastic pXp and color commentary, a serious introduction, and last but not least, a hard as Shit amazing soundtrack. And let's not forget my favorite player. Peter 'Foppa' Forsberg on the cover. 9/10

So weird, I haven't played this since... Maybe 2000 and all these names, all the sounds are so familiar to me still, I used to play this game for hours

I always loved the ambiguous swearing and cursing as they sit in the box.

[@JohnEtter-z3o]

Back then PC gaming was top notch. No console looked this good in '98

[@simonricher5799]

I just saw a video of NHL 98 on PS1 and the graphique difference is pretty big

[@PJ.Rob06]

​@@simonricher5799look at NHL 96 on the PC. Mind blowing that an almost 30 years old looks that good

[@FirebrandAL]

This was the one that felt like a 'holy fucking shit' step forward for all EA games. Absolutely ridiculous jump from the previous two. Felt like a video game from a whole other different planet.

[@tonycolasante1856]

Brilliant on PC. I remember being all hyped whether at school or after work. You just wanted to get home.

[@earlosandwich7433]

The huge hits in this game were hysterical. They also let you blow up the ref and rarely called it. 😂

[@bgGameClips]

My buddy and I spent a good couple of weekends trying to put the ref through the glass. We succeeded lol

[@FreedomFTW]

This and 2002 were the best hockey games.

NHL 98 running on a Pentium on Windows 98 🥲 Good OLD days.

[@BearIslandComics]

Ah the memories… playing this in my dorm room on my Gateway computer… simpler times 😊

[@stephencruse6525]

The soundtrack was awesome

[@michaelmocco161]

Id like to nhl finally back on the pc

[@Juzimaster]

Same. Last NHL game was 09 on pc.

[@PJ.Rob06]

@@Juzimaster and even that one was a pain cause you had to get a license online and you could only install it a certain amount of times...

[@tinyGiraffasaurus]

i played the hell out of this game on psone, and you could get easy goals by taking a slap shot between the the blue line and the top of the circle, because the goalie would almost always stack their pads while standing, fall over, and leave a juicy rebound for you to easily fire into the net. good times lol

[@shatterdeath2687]

Same as nhl 23. The only way to score is the backhand fore hand cheeze over and over again. At least in nhl 98, u dont got some 14 year old kid beeking u in chel thinkin that they john tortelino.

[@mitchtavio]

Loved this game as a kid. How awesome was Jim Hughson commentating too?

[@importedmusic]

You could spin using the ctrl button i remember?

Id take 99 over 98, but this was game changing from the console versions. What has happened to the NHL series the last 10 yrs.....it's not good.
