{"product_id":"nhl-open-ice-2-on-2-challenge-playstation","title":"NHL Open Ice 2 on 2 Challenge - Playstation","description":"\u003cp\u003eNHL Open Ice 2 on 2 Challenge for the PlayStation is Midway's arcade hockey game, ported from their 1995 coin-op cabinet and arriving on PS1 in 1996. The game strips hockey down to its most chaotic fundamentals: two players per side, a full NHL license with real teams and players from the 1995-96 season, and none of the penalties, offsides, or icing rules that govern the simulation hockey games of the same era. Two-minute brawls on ice, essentially, with real names and jerseys attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGameplay is completely button-based with no simulation elements. Checking is aggressive and frequent, hitting the ice to cause turnovers is the primary defensive strategy, and the two-on-two format means every player is constantly involved. A battery of special shots and power plays add variety, and the short match length keeps games moving quickly. Up to four players can compete in local multiplayer through a combination of controllers. The game features both the NHL and NHLPA licenses, meaning real team names, logos, and player names are all present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped and published by Midway, NHL Open Ice 2 on 2 Challenge released on PS1 in 1996. The original arcade version was one of Midway's most successful sports cabinets of the mid-1990s alongside NBA Jam and NFL Blitz. The game supports one to four players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e KA (Kids to Adults, pre-ESRB transition rating)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform:\u003c\/strong\u003e PlayStation 1\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arcade Sports \/ Hockey\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-4 players\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midway\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midway\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnly multiple item orders that combine to $120 or more get free shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Owned","offers":[{"title":"Game \u0026 Box \u0026 Manual - VG+","offer_id":46223263694933,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/5841262-nhl-open-ice-2-on-2-challenge-playstation-front-cover.png?v=1790142644","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/nhl-open-ice-2-on-2-challenge-playstation","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
