"Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey" is a video game developed by Atari Games [ [http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=thumbs&db=videodb&id=1528 The Arcade Flyer Archive - Video Game: Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, Atari Games Corporation ] ] and released for the arcade in 1996. It was later ported to the Nintendo 64 console on October 31, 1996, where it was the first-ever 4-player game for the Nintendo 64. The game was subsequently re-released as "Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98" (also ported to the Sony Playstation) and later in an Olympic version. The players are polygonal, not sprites.

As opposed to the more realistic hockey gameplay seen in Electronic Arts' NHL series, the game featured a more unrealistic arcade-style of gameplay, featuring moves such as "power saves", which caused the goaltender to briefly transform into a brick wall, "power shots", which would set the net on fire, and "power checks", which would send an ambulance across the top of the screen.
