NHL 95 save battery (Sega Genesis)
Over the past couple of years, I've been trying to get ahold of a copy of NHL 95 for Sega Genesis that actually has a working battery. Two dozen copies later, I'm still looking. Awhile back, I did some digging online and found some old bulletin board posts from about 1995-1997 talking about the problem. Apparently a large number of copies shipped from EA with a defective battery that would fail within a matter of days/weeks.
So I guess my question is if anyone else is familiar with that problem surrounding the game and are there any copies out there that actually have a working save battery? If not, would getting a new battery into my current copy be a quick fix or will it be a little more complicated than that? I just don't know if it is a bigger problem than a defective battery, meaning is there something going on in which a new battery gets put in and that dies right off the bat, too.
It sounds a little silly asking this, since NHL 95 is over 10 years old but I have plenty of Genesis games older than that which still do save. That particular edition is my favorite of the NHL series on the Genesis, so I'd love to find one with a good battery or fix up a dead copy.
