Description
NHL teams compete in the 1995 NHL season in this EA Sports Mega Drive game. Published by Electronic Arts, released in Europe in September 1994. NHL 95 ice hockey simulation with updated teams, new features and competitive modes.
The European edition of NHL 95 is the PAL version of EA Sports's simulator in a large Megadrive print. Its collector appeal comes from the franchise's yearly place in European 16-bit memory and from the way EA's early sports editions document the annual evolution of the sub-genre.
Better with friends
A new season on the ice, polishing the legendary formula with more options and a tempo still as snappy for four. The competition blends line tactics with the adrenaline of fast breaks, where a single brilliant pass can flip the score. Faithful to the genre's spirit, it delivers intense matches and makes duels a matter of pride settled overtime after overtime.
Is NHL 95 still worth playing in 2026?
A direct sequel to NHL 94 by EA Sports, NHL 95 enriches the formula with complete Stanley Cup mode, improved animations and more international teams. Handling stays exemplary and strategic depth grows. Without reaching the mythical aura of 94, the title is an excellent natural evolution. For anyone wanting the most generous content after NHL 94 on Mega Drive or extending the hockey video game experience on the Sega console, a warm recommendation still valid today without any hesitation for fans truly here indeed.
