Name: Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA All-Stars
Author/Vendor: Time Warner Interactive
Released: 1995
Type: Sports (hockey)
Language: English
Premise: YACEG featuring the loveable mug of the famous Canadian hockey player.
Impressions: This game is just okay, folks. I hate to break it to ya, but there's no way this can live up to the title of "The Great One." For starters, the hockey just doesn't feel like it's being played on any kind of ice I've ever seen. Secondly, the destroyer of sports titles, problematic control, is rampant throughout. Despite its flaws, it still manages to charm us with flashy extras and the best fights I've ever seen in a hockey game - which probably explains the loss of the NHL's endorsement.

Variations: Commonly referred to as Wayne Gretzky Hockey, which was also the title of a hockey sim for the Commodore Amiga produced by Bethesda Softworks.
