The add-on comprises of two parts, the RAM adapter cartridge and the disk drive.

Ice Hockey is a sports game that was originally released for the Family Computer Disk System in Japan on January 21, 1988, and later for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in March 1988, and in Europe on April 15, 1988.

Upon starting a game, the player must select one of six teams, the opponent's skill level from one to five, and a time of 7, 10, or 15 minutes. Each team consists of four players of three different types including thin, ordinary, and stocky. A fifth player is also on each team and acts as the goaltender. Like in the real life sport, the objective of Ice Hockey is to hit the puck into the opponent's goal with a hockey stick. The arena is designed after a typical ice hockey rink, with the surface covered in ice and goals positioned on each side. The rink includes several marked areas, which includes the goal line that the puck must cross to score.

Each of the game's six teams represents a country, including:

JPN - Japan
USA - United States
POL - Poland
CAN - Canada
URS - Soviet Union
TCH - Czechoslovakia

The teams in the Famicom Disk System version are slightly different to the teams in the NES version. The NES version replaces the Japan team with the Sweden team and swaps the positions of the first two teams making the USA team the first selectable team. Additionally, the main game music and goal jingle between versions are also different.^[3]
