Blades Shorts
Description: Blades of Steel, later released in Japan as Konamic Ice Hockey (コナミック アイスホッケー, Konamikku Aisu Hokkē), is an ice hockey video game released by Konami for North American arcades in 1987, and ported to the Family Computer Disk System and Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. All teams are fictional but based out of real Canadian and American cities. The game is known for its fast-paced hockey action and especially for the fighting. It is a one or two player game. When playing against the computer, there are three difficulty levels to choose from: Junior, College, and Pro (with Pro being the most difficult and Junior being the easiest). Each team consists of three forwards, two defencemen, and a goaltender.
Description: Mantis Blades are a type of cyberware, which is essentially cybernetic implants that enhance a character's abilities. Mantis Blades are forearm cyberware that replaces a character's hands with retractable, razor-sharp blades. These blades can be extended and retracted at will, allowing the character to use them for close combat and melee attacks.
Description: "Hey, Sue, where can I find you later?" "At Gay Blades, of course!" Located at 52 St. & Broadway in New York City, Gay Blades began life as an ice skating rink by the name of Iceland in 1922. Iceland folded in 1932 and sat empty until it was converted to a roller rink and reopened as Gay Blades in 1941. Yes, the name gets plenty of snickers nowadays, but hey, it was the '40s and everyone was looking to get gay, so it made total sense then :)
