NHL '94 is an ice hockey game by EA Sports for the Sega Genesis, Super NES, and Sega CD, as well as the first release for the PC (DOS), simply titled NHL Hockey, without the "'94" in the title. The third game in the NHL series media franchise, it was released in September 1993 for the Sega Genesis and November 1993 for the Super Nintendo.[2] The game was the first in the series to be officially licensed by both the National Hockey League (NHL) and the NHL Players' Association (NHLPA).[3] NHL '94 launched to critical acclaim, and it has since been referred to as both the greatest sports video game of all time as well as one of the best games ever made.[citation needed]
This was the first game in the series to hold both licenses. So you had everything: player names, team logos, and even the Stanley Cup.
