Hockey is a ice hockey video game published by Gamma Software for Atari 8-bit computers in 1981. Gamma released the Atari 8-bit game Soccer the following year.[1]
Hockey is a sports game in which 2-4 players compete in an arcade-style game.
Bill Willett, writing for his "Atari Arcade" column in the June 1982 issue of Computer Gaming World, called Hockey "a delight to play".[2] Later that year, also in CGW, Allen Doum stated:
The reviewers in the 1983 book The Creative Atari called the game, "almost fast, never furious, and generally fun".[3] The primary complaint was the slow movement speed of the players.
In Electronic Games, Bill Kunkel wrote:
He also disliked the minimal feedback when a goal is scored.
