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

This is the bets manager game ever!!

I bought the original in 1994, and later the foloow-up in 1996. I haven't stopped playing the game since. Thr reason? The 2D match engine. It's a VERY realistic engine, and it's nice to see that it has finally gotten its recognition, when Champ manager decided to bring an exact copy of it in Championship Manager 4.

I alway take a team from the 4th division, and bring it to the Super League, to win plenty of championships. Once you discovered the tricks, it's not that hard. But still fun!

Some hints :

1 : Always(!) play a 3-4-3 with one sweeper(stay back) and 2 CB's in defence, DM, CM, LM and RM in midfield, and CF and 2 strikers up front.

2 : Players "pop" in value twice during their carrer. At about 20 years and about 23 years. So buy them before those ages. And sell when they are 28!
