Slap Shot is an ice hockey game released by Sega in 1990 for the Master System.

Gameplay

Slap Shot's gameplay is similar to Ice Hockey and Blades of Steel. This game allows the option of choosing to play an exhibition match or in a tournament.

Teams

Slap Shot has 24 different teams split into three pools. Loosely based on IIHF World Championships pools by the time the game was released, the three groups have different difficulty levels, Pool A being the hardest, Pool B being Normal, and Pool C being easiest. It's not possibly to play teams from different pools.

Pool A

• America
• Canada
• Czechoslovakia
• Finland
• Poland
• Sweden

• West Germany

Pool B

• Austria
• Denmark
• East Germany
• France
• Italy
• Japan
• Norway
• Switzerland

Pool C

• Australia
• Bulgaria
• China
• Hungary
• Holland
• North Korea
• South Korea
• Yugoslavia

Visuals

Slap Shot's visuals are very similar to NES's Ice Hockey (by using the same rink and the players are very very similar to that of Konami's Blades of Steel). However, Slap Shot brought something new to the table that those games did not which it the "Shot Cam Replay" which was only seen in a hockey game call Face Off! for the DOS back in 1988. But other than that, Slap Shot is a clone of Blades of Steel and Ice Hockey.
