Mission Statement
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I was looking through a bunch of my older games and was wondering to myself
why I didn't write any FAQs for these classics. So I decided to write a guide
for some of my favorites. That is why this guide is here today. I hope it can
help you out.

One Player - Normal This sets up the game under its normal difficulty
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and where there is a player versus the computer.
___________________
Two Player - Normal A head to head competition between two human players.
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ It also uses the controls and setting for the normal
mode.
_____________________
One Player - Advanced The same as with one player normal but the AI of the
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ computer has gotten better. There also is less of a
variation in the angle measure that you can shoot and
pass the puck

| Action Button | Stick Action | Pressing this button will do one of three |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| things: It will either pass the puck to |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| your teammate. It can shoot the puck at |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| the goal. Or it can be used to hit your |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| oppenent, possibly injuring them. And it |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| can be used to try to steal the puck. |

|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| defense. It can also be used to move the |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| puck from one side of your body to the |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| other side. |

| I V STRATEGY |
•============================================================================•

________________
Look at the Puck If you notice, every time a player controls the puck, it
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ will be moving back and forth on his stick. This is not
done simply for graphics. The physics behind it are as
described... The further the distance from the center of
the stick, the wider the angle will be from perpendicular
to the stick. Learning how to use this effectivly can allow
you to hit great bank shots, and will help you avoid giving
up easy steals.
_______________________
Hey -- Look over there! The computer AI was written so that they will go
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ after the location of the puck. Knowing this can
give you a huge advantage when charging the goalie.
What you should do is keep the puck on one side of
the skater. Then right as you are about to meet the
goalie, hit the opposite direction from which the
stick is facing. Doing this should allow you to go
right past the goalie and get an easy point.
_______________
Hack and Attack This method is only for those people who are abnormally
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ aggressive. Be warned: It can be quite violent. The basic
premise of this strategy is to take out the other team via
injuries. To injure a player on the other team, it is best
to come up behind them and hit them in the leg with your
stick. If you did this correctly, you should notice that
they are not holding a stick and won't move for a few
seconds. Once you have done this, simply pick up the puck
and you are home free.
___________
Goalie Pull This strategy is recomended for anyone who prefers to play
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ aggressivly of strategetically. It allows you to have both
players on offence giving you double the opportunity to score.
It also leaves you much more vulnerable when you must play
defense.

To correctly "pull" your goalie, you must get him the puck.
Once you do that you have him skate as far down the ice as you
can. Both the defender of the other team, and the goalie will
come out leaving you open for an easy assist or an open goal.

| Team One - Goalie | It is this mans job to make sure that the other team |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| does not score against you. Be nice to this guy, if |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| not and he fails you - you are in for a long day. Also|
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| look to him as being high in assist and steals. |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
___________________________________________________________________________
| Team One - Utility | This man can play just about any position you need |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| him to. When you need him to score, give him the |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| puck and he will not fail you. He is also very good |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| on defense - he is always one of the top 2 in steals |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

| Team Two - Goalie | It is this mans job to make sure that you do not score|
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| score against the other team. This is the man that |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| you need to make choke and to beat. If you can not |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| get the puck by this all-star, then you will loose. |
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
___________________________________________________________________________
| Team One - Utility | This is the man that you must gaurd and gaurd well |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| when you are on defense. He is the teams highest |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| scorer and he won't hesitate to go by you. However a |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| good defense will get this guy to give up the puck |
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| all day long, so make sure you have him covered. |
