I don't remember much from this game to be honest with you.

I think the name was "Fotball manager" since the exe was named FM.exe.

The matches was text only, with time displaying as a circle in the upper right corner.

You could play as most english teams I believe down to maybe 3rd division.

ANY information on this game would be greatly appreciated. I used to play it with a couple of friends when we were really small. Maybe in 1992-1993.

I've looked for it now and then but I have never been able to find it :/

Thanks for the response but its not the right game.

The game was entirely in text, so it's probably older than that.

I can't find the ****** game, I've been looking for years!

*insert frustrated mumbling here*

Football Manager is a legendary game.

There's a very faithful remake of it around, and HOTU has a review for it over here. The very simple official site of the remake is here.

The original is still best played on an 8-bit machine.

EDIT: The text-only-and-with-a-circle-showing-the-time stuff makes it sound like it's not Football Manager after all. Hm. Perhaps http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.ph...otball+Fanatic then?

Not quite right still

The background was black.

I think the player names where in a list and their different positions was highlighted in different colors. Brown for attackers, green for midfield etc.

Damn, I WILL find this game, I don't know how though.

Don't think so. Only found Player Manager 2 on the underdogs but it seems to be graphical and also playable.

Thanks for the help though.

I was planning on going through every soccer game on underdogs, but their sort function is a bit faulty.

I´m talking about this: http://www.mobygames.com/game/amiga/player-manager, it was player manager 1, but you aren´t thinking in a game call Elifoot?

Can't been player manager as the game didn't have any graphics, much less any "gameplay".

No idea about elifoot, it seems unlikely though and I didn't find any older versions.
