Whump! Tweeet! You've gotta love how you can whack your opponents in NHL Hockey. Quite an enjoyable game - and it even has penalties! The best part of the game was the checking. In college, we played that game mercilessly - and mirthfully.

A total of eight NHL Hockey box variants have been documented.
