wauv!! That's a lot of small tricks.
I've found that I win the championship in the Super League 2 out of 3 years even without those tricks, so that's good enough for me.

The important aspect, is to dominate the economy, and you do that by buying 20-22 year-olds, and watch them rise in value, and then sell them when they're 27-28.

It always crashes when i try to watch a game (playing under windows, no dosbox)
But if it would run, itd look like a real good football managing game (much stats, great options to choose for the players, ...)

Then try running it under DOSBox and it shouldn't crash.

Me and my mates used to play the demo version all the time back in the day.

We'd set up 2 managers, one as Liverpool or Man U, and the other as Barcelona or AC Milan... then we'd buy all the best players from Barca or Milan for £1, sell our crap players for millions - and then go on a shopping spree!

As I remember, Regi Blinker was our favourite striker and Ed De Goey (which we literally pronounce "Goo-ee") was our favourite keeper.

We also used to leave the PC on because you couldn't save.

Great game, but it's a bit frustrating that the manager can be sacked from a team. That makes the game VERY hard when you try to start with a weak team in the third league.

is this the game that when you got fired it brought up a screen in big letters that said "OH DEAR YOU GOT THE BOOT" ?

I'd love a screenshot of that.

No. It says "You've been SACKED".
But in 1-095 you can disable this option. It's very frustrating to have a hugely talented team close to a big breakthrough, and then be sacked.

I'm still playing this for the 17th year running. I may take a break for 6-12 months, but I always come back to it. It's great.

I received the copyrights to the entire New Era Catalog (Wizard Games Of Scotland produced) in 2008.

I have every single game..

It is not abandonware as i actively maintain the software for xp, vista and 7, but I can let you have a copy of the Soccer Game 2 if you ask nicely,

I used to play this with my father when it came out, we found a POOLS CHEAT, you would save the game, advance 1 week and write down the results of 10 score draws, exit without saving, re-load and put those score draw games on the pools, the results were the same after reloading so we won £1.5 to £2m every time my email is dbc1702 at gmail dot com if you would like a copy, screenshots available
