Solid Ice is a 1996 video game developed by Strategy First and published by Empire Interactive.[1]
Solid Ice is an ice hockey simulation featuring all the National Hockey League Players' Association players.[5] The lower part of the gameplay screen has a scoreboard which displays the score, game clock, up to four penalties per team, and a Profiler which shows the strengths of the skater the player selects.[6] The game features an editor to alter or create new leagues, teams, players, logos, and uniforms.[7] The game uses a side perspective, similar to watching sports on television.[8]
Development
The game was announced in June 1996.[5] The company spent about $750,000 on the game, including a "substantial" amount paid to the National Hockey League Players' Association to use player names and statistics.[2][9]
