NHL Full-Impact Hockey
You can feel what it’s like to face the best shooters the NHL has to offer, in this realistic life-size, live-action hockey experience. Suit up and play goal against video images of hockey superstars Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier, who fire foam pucks at full speed through a number of openings in a 9-by-12-foot video screen.

|
There are three levels of play — rookie, professional, and all-star. In all three you control the outcome of the game by your ability to stop Gretzky and Messier from scoring. You encounter a wide variety of play combinations and shots to block and, at the end of each game, your statistics are displayed on a scoreboard.
