NHLPA Hockey 93 is a sports game (focused on ice hockey) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released in North America and Europe. It is the first Super Nintendo video game to be officially licensed by the National Hockey Players' Association (NHLPA), but not the National Hockey League (NHL) itself.

Plot

The game is based on the 1992–1993 NHL ice hockey season.

Gameplay

The game has a single- and multi-player mode. In exhibition mode, only one game is played, whereas in the playoff mode, the player(s) compete in either a single elimination or a best-of-7 series tournament, at the end of which they are awarded a trophy similar to the NHL's Stanley Cup.

A password system is used to save and continue games. Instant replays are also available during gameplay.

As in the real-world sport of hockey, the object is to score more goals than the opposing team to win the game.

Teams

Since the game is licensed by the NHLPA, all the real-world players' names and numbers are in the game. But because it's not licensed by the League itself, the team names and logos are not used. The Stanley Cup is not used either. Each team is only represented by the cities.
