Is NHL 98 still worth playing in 2026?

The last NHL from EA Sports on Mega Drive, this 98 extends the series' excellence with updated rosters and gameplay as fast and readable as ever. The tweaks stay minor, the console reaching the end of the line while the series already shines on 32 bit, but the pleasure of snappy hockey and the two player fun remain intact. The tech naturally shows its age. For a fan of retro hockey or someone nostalgic wishing to close the NHL cycle on the machine, the title keeps an effectiveness and play pleasure still convincing.
