Here's a totally different video game, one that simulates the dynamic power play in hockey. One knob controls both the defensive goalie and the offensive forwards, enabling two players to satisfy their natural competitive spirit. For a single player HOCKEY offers the maximum challenge to physical dexterity and game playing skill.

Despite what the promotional text claims, this early hockey game (or should we say football) is not that different from previous popular pong games. But in 1973, it's one of the first to offer goals and goalkeepers.
