05.28.25 XPO 3 EP 18 – “Hat Trick” (1987) by Atari/Bally Sente (XpressO3: 5-Min Atari 7800 Game Reviews!)

---

On episode 18 of #XpressO3, #Atari7800 #GameReviews in 5-10 Minutes, I play #Hattrick by #BallySente & @Atari from back in 1987. This #icehockey #sports #game gets overlooked by many, but how does it hold up today, especially when compared to so many others at the time, like #Nintendo‘s #IceHockey, or #BladesofSteel on the #NES? Let’s dive in & find a verdict! Gameplay on #Atari7800Plus using emulation. Please note: This is the final episode of #Xpresso until #Xpresso4 debuts later this Summer in August, with #AtariLynx #games & more! Stay tuned! Sound off! If you like #Xpresso as a series, please give this video a thumbs up & let me know you support it. I am weighing putting the show on ice for a while as viewe are not what they used to be for this show. Although I enjoy making them very much! Thank you! Now go play with your #Zamboni or something… 😉 Isn’t there some ice to smooth out? 🙂
