Description of Wayne Gretzky Hockey 2
A better sequel to Bethesda's classic Wayne Gretsky Hockey, WGH2 takes the innovative hockey sim to the next level with much sharper graphics, more player options, and even the ability to integrate seamlessly with Bethesda's die-hard hockey management sim Hockey League Simulator for more realistic coaching options.
Graphics is now isometric, and player animations are very smooth. Gone are the jagged players that recall Konami's Blade of Steel, and the new sound effects are excellent. Computer player seems to be even better than WGH at offensive play and penalty killing, and there are many more teams and players to choose from.
If you love WGH, you'll be hopelessly addicted with WGH2. Be warned, though: the game is VERY fiddly on new systems, and due to unconventional video modes, you might not be able to run it at all, even in DOS mode.

Note: there seems to be a Fight Video Disk 1 for this game, don't know if it's in the game already, but we are looking for it!

How to play Wayne Gretzky Hockey 2
The game won't run without the fix in DOSBox. Hopefully, Peter Ferrie provided a fix for Pentium to run the game. Follow these instructions:
- Game is already installed, don't install again
- Go to the WGHII directory (cd WGHII)
- Type HKYFIX.com -e -adlib
More explanations can be found here : http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=35151. The game is no cracked, but the folks over Vogons have a way to bypass the copy protection, as the game manual is lost it seems.
