Solar hockey league

Solar Hockey League is a 1992 DOS sports game that takes the basic idea of hockey and sends it into a futuristic setting. Instead of conventional ice rinks, players compete in a science-fiction environment where the action has a distinctly more unusual flavor. The game focuses on quick matches, positioning, scoring, and controlling players as they attempt to outmaneuver the opposition. Its futuristic theme gives an otherwise familiar sport a playful twist, suggesting that humanity's inevitable expansion into space will apparently include organized hockey. The controls and presentation reflect the technology of the period, but the core attraction remains competitive sports action. Solar Hockey League is particularly appealing as a curiosity because it combines two subjects that rarely appear together: hockey and space exploration. Forget interstellar diplomacy. If mankind ever reaches the stars, somebody will probably build an arena first and start arguing about the rules.
