Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey
韦恩·格雷茨基3D冰球
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey is an arcade ice hockey game released by Atari Games in 1996. Players control skaters on a 3D rink, competing in fast-paced matches with arcade-style gameplay rather than strict simulation rules. The game supports up to four simultaneous players, allowing two-on-two team competition at a single cabinet. Controls handle skating, passing, shooting, and physical checks. Endorsed by NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, the game features exaggerated speed and action, with body checks sending players flying across the ice. Teams compete in standard period-based matches, and the cabinet's joystick and button layout keeps the on-ice action accessible for quick pick-up play in the arcade setting.
