Straight from your TV set to your PC comes Fox Sports Interactive's NHL Championship 2000. Choose from all 28 NHL teams -- including the expansion Atlanta Thrashers -- and get on the ice with real players in real arenas. There's even an option to choose which jersey (away, home, or a third choice) you want your club to wear, and the team select screen lets you know when two teams have a rivalry going between them, which means that you can expect more intense action when they go at it. You can also choose from two NHL all-star teams and 16 international clubs.
You'll hear all the action called by real life Fox Sports announcers Kenny Albert and John Davidson from the moment the teams take the ice to the final seconds of the third period. Plenty of controls are at your fingertips, from the ability to drop a pass to a teammate trailing behind you to devastating body checks to skating backwards. If two players get into a brawl, you can control the action of the one on your team and make him throw the punches. Just be aware that penalties can and will be called.
Depending on your level of hockey expertise, you can let the CPU handle the coaching for you or take control of it yourself. You can pick the strategies for your team and decide when to switch out the lines currently on the ice. If you decide to play an entire season you can play general manager as well, making trades with other teams as well as creating new players and editing the current ones. If your lines aren't performing up to par, you can tweak them as well. As the season progresses you can also view a wealth of league statistics as your team undertakes the march to the Stanley Cup.
During the game there are also plenty of little details which can help you play better. Turning on the passing arrows and passing targets will help you pass the puck around with more ease since you'll know who's open and who will receive the puck if you press the pass button. Fox Sports' Fox Trax technology is also available, which allows you to add a cool blue streak to passes and a hot red one to shots. Depending on the strength of your PC, you can add more detail to the player, ice and stadium detail or take it away.

For Windows [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
