Looks very simple and nice.

I should try this someday.

Woaw, I was sooo hooked on this game some ten years ago. Simple, to the point and NOT in need of graphics! It was a good step to get to Championship Manager :brain:

Haha I even bought the game. I believe it came from Ireland. I still have that floppy disk and probably the """"manual"""".
Anyway me and my brother played this game over and over. Thing was it ended in 2040 or something. That was really bad. There were quite some flaws in it, but I was very addictive. I remember one of the first things to do was to buy a guy called Guruceta. A striker who would score 40 - 50 goals per season.

Anyway, I rate this manager game 5/5.

Ok, in this game we return to the beginning of the manager games genre.

emm... Football manager - 1982? There's a full decade in there.

Awesome!!!I was looking for that one.I remember playing the shareware version for days.I used to leave the computer on since it didn't have a save.Go Werder Bremen!

I have recently just started playing this game again after many many years. Like the prev user I initially had the older version (which had Stuttgart in the Superleague).

The players peak value is purely based on what club they originated from. The idea is to buy young players from teams whose value is high. If you notice all Werder Bremen players peak at 9m (from memory), all Benfica players peak at 2.9 million etc. Therefore buy young cheap players from big clubs.

Tactically, I haven't found the ideal formation or anything. If you play the "watch the game" mode having players who can beat their man is essential otherwise it just becomes a bit of a long ball ping-pong game.

Why do the game always hang when I try to watch a game? do any of play it on dosbox or not?

it works fine on dosbox . a great old game this.
reminds me of a more version of simple champ manager on amiga , i played that for months on end
same tactics work too, play 3-5-2 get 2 good strikers and pack the midfield with quality then play long ball with hard tackles and a offside trap
you need to some backup players too cos you get loads sent off.
