Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA All-Stars is an arcade-style ice hockey game developed by Cygnus Multimedia Productions (with development contributions from Sculptured Software). Officially endorsed by hall-of-fame legend Wayne Gretzky, the game brings fast-paced, physical 16-bit hockey to the SNES—featuring fluid line changes, hard-hitting checks, manual shot controls, and expansive tournament modes.

GAME ID: M/SNS-AWZE-USA
NHLPA License & City-Only Roster Design:
Because the publisher acquired the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) license without the official NHL team license, the game features authentic active player names, stats, and likenesses (such as Gretzky himself), while teams are represented strictly by city names and customizable team color schemes.
Time Warner's Gretzky Licensing Deal:
Signed during late 1994, Time Warner Interactive secured Gretzky for an exclusive multi-game publishing contract. Wayne Gretzky and the NHLPA All-Stars served as the flagship 16-bit title before the line transitioned into 3D polygon architectures on next-generation hardware.
