The Story Behind Brett Hull Hockey
The port was later showcased by Atari in an early playable state at WCES '95 and slated for a Q2 1995 release, with plans to be published for both the Jaguar and Jaguar CD. On May 14, 1999, Hasbro Interactive released the patents and rights of the Jaguar into public domain by declaring it as an open platform and opening the doors for homebrew development, allowing independent publisher and developers to release unfinished titles from the system's past life cycle. Brett Hull Hockey was released in January 1994 by Accolade, then in Europe by Sony Electronic Publishing later the same year.
On May 14, 2009, the defunct Jaguar Sector II website released the CD version under the name Jaguar Hockey to avoid licensing issues for US$35. Unlike the Super NES version, which uses Mode 7 to display the playfield, the Genesis version used isometric graphics. Internal documents from Atari also revealed that Ringler Studios was developing the conversion and that it would feature the NHL license unlike the SNES original, with some magazines previewing the game under the title NHL Hockey, in addition to being listed as still being in development on August of the same year.
How Brett Hull Hockey Plays
A sequel, Brett Hull Hockey '95, was released the following year for MS-DOS, Genesis, and Super NES. The teams in the game only represent their respective cities from both Canada and United States, in addition to featuring two original teams: Eastern All-Star and Western All-Star. Fights can also erupt at any moment between players from either team.
Brett Hull Hockey received mixed but positive reception when it was released. It features former Canadian-American NHL player Brett Hull and is officially licensed from the NHL Players' Association. The announcer, Al Michaels, makes commentary during gameplay and announces Brett Hull by name but other players are only called by their respective jersey number due to the lack of the NHL license, while his commentaries can also be turned off on the options menu.
