NHL '94 named greatest sports video game
In what some might consider a shocking upset in the sports video game world, NHL '94 continued its run through the brackets with another impressive victory. This time, with everything on the line, Jeremy Roenick and Co. caught on to the Mike Tyson eyebrow indicator right off the bat ... and put the heavyweight on the canvass quickly. Congratulations to NHL '94, the greatest sports video game of all-time!
