Olympic hockey from Nagano 1998, an international edition with national squads. Event-themed presentation, accessible gameplay and a clean tournament. Light on simulation depth and the NHL licence, but the Olympic tournament angle adds a special flavour, especially for those who recall the Games.

Is Olympic Hockey 98 still worth playing in 2026?

An ice hockey simulation for the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, Olympic Hockey 98 pits the best nations against each other in Olympic format matches, with accessible playability and a steady pace. The Games licence, the national team selection and the pleasure of fast clashes appeal to fans, even if the depth and production stay behind the genre's references on the console. For someone nostalgic for 64 bit hockey, an ice sport fan or someone curious about the Olympic licence, the title keeps a recreational interest and a direct fun.
