Blades of Steel (version L, Trackball) — About this game
Blades of Steel (version L, Trackball) combines ice hockey with close-up fights between rival skaters. The arcade’s movement and action inputs support shooting, passing and face-offs, while a separate Fight action connects to its more physical confrontations. Those confrontations interrupt the wider rink action, changing the immediate task from moving the puck to dealing with the opponent at close range. Learn the ordinary pass and shot first so a player can return to useful hockey positioning when the fight ends.
