Hat Trick

released on Dec 31, 1984

Hat Trick is an ice hockey based arcade game released by Bally Sente in 1984. Each team in the game consists of two players, including a goaltender. The game takes an overhead view of the rink. At the end of each game, an ice resurfacer is seen cleaning the ice. Gameplay Hat Trick features a two-on-two version of ice hockey. The player controls both hockey players at the same time, with each up and down movement of the joystick also moving the goaltender across his goal line. Goals are scored each time a player successfully shoots the puck across the opposing goal line. The number of saves are also displayed on the scoreboard, solely for reference. The winner is the player who outscores their opponent in a game length of two minutes. If the scores are tied after the clock has run down, a maximum of twenty seconds of overtime is played until one player scores to be declared the winner. The game is for one or two players simultaneously.

Nice visuals with the marks left on the ice from your skates being a really nice touch, but the clunky controls let this one down.

Simple as hell, easy as hell, addictive as hell.

Hi, do you want to play ice hockey?, But it’s only your and your bro and another guy with his bro, and his bro is either fucking stupid and terrible goalkeeper or fucking Dominic Hasek???. Well then this game is for you!!!!

Absolutely terrible game, janky to the point of unplayability, terrible sound and music, ugly graphics (it’s an Atari 7800, who could expect), the easy mode is a fucking walk in the garden of eden, it’s so easy and boring it gives me tears, the hard mode shows how garbage this game is, it’s clunky, dated, and above everything, fucking terrible. And if you don’t trust me, go check it out on your nearest Atari 7800 or Atari 7800 emulator you can get. Stay away from this rot.
