Looking back on the gloriousness that was Blades of Steel.
Blades of Steel wasn’t a hockey game as much as it was a theater of everything awesome about the NES. It was a cart that said its name when you turned it on. “Blades… of STEEL!” It didn’t take crap from anyone. In a time before the difference between the arcade and simulation wasn’t as important, Blades of Steel fell into a new category: badass.
