DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

Unlike some of the other Super Pro titles, which included enhanced features such as choosing individual computer players of different abilities to make up the teams, Slap Shot: Super Pro Hockey is essentailly just the original Intellivision NHL Hockey cartridge with a one-player mode.

Ray Kaestner made the additions to the original APh Technological Consulting code.

In late 2018, discovering that they had over 200 loose cartridges of Slap Shot: Super Pro Hockey, the Blue Sky Rangers had new boxes and overlays printed and released the remaining stock as fully boxed copies.

FUN FACT: Programmer Ray Kaestner points out that, probably because there are so few differences from the original over 5-years-old NHL Hockey cartridge, one magazine reviewer called Slap Shot: Super Pro Hockey the worst Intellivision game ever. The same reviewer had, in an earlier magazine, called BurgerTime the BEST Intellivision game ever. Ray is amused at being the programmer (according to at least one person) of both the BEST and WORST Intellivision games.
