[comp.sys.amiga] Wayne Gretzky Hockey

rlcarr@athena.mit.edu (Rich Carreiro) (08/23/89)

Does anyone know if Bethesda Softworks has released the 1988 Stats Disk
and/or the League Scheduler for Wayne Gretzky Hockey?

For those who don't have it -- check it out.  It's similar to
Gridiron (bird's eye view), but the figures look like hockey players viewd from
above, not just circles.  Game play is excellent, and it seems to
know all the rules (even the 2-line pass violation).  When there's a 
penalty, an animated ref gives the (correct) signal along with pringing
the penalty on the screen.  I heartily recommend it.

I have a Fatter Agnus chip in my A2000.  One of the things that I disliked 
most about it was the fact that Wayne Gretzky Hockey would no longer run.  
That is no surprise, is it?  However, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons would not 
run either, giving me instant guru on startup.  Something was wrong.
 
I found that by running a KILLCHIP utility, NOFASTMEM, then Re-Booting, *BOTH* 
of the above mentioned games run without a hitch.  SO, if you have been unable 
to play WG Hockey or other game since you got a Fatter Agnus, try the above 
and see if you have luck.
 
Would someone please forward this to comp.sys.amiga.games, as I don't receive 
that here.  It may prove handy to them.
