My first was CM2 which I brought from a car bootsale back in 1996;
I dread to think how many hours of my life this series has taken up in the last 18/19 years. Many of the members of this board, even some of the top footballers around now won't have been born when I first installed this bad boy on my old Acorn brand PC running MSDOS on Windows 95.

Back when Milan had the ultimate team including Marco Van Basten
Remember always trying to sign Gazza and David Platt for Arsenal but there was ALWAYS a work permit problem even though they're English ffs.

That's another i've never heard of, how old you? I'm 35 and thought you was around the same

Na i didn't, admittedly a lot of the games i played on the Amiga were 'copies' as it was so easy to do it back then. Saved a lot of space though as the boxes were absolutely huge back then yet just contained a floppy disc or two and the manual all rattling around inside.

Soccer 7 (a game based on a short lived indoor tournament from the late '80's, concocted for TV when English teams were banned from Europe) was also dead easy, if you had the patience, as you traded for players. So all you had to do was keep trading for slightly higher value players each time, and you'd end up with an unbeatable super-team.

I remember in that game if you put your name as Glenn Hoddle you can manage England straight away. Won a world cup with Le Tissier scoring in the final. Happy memories. I installed that edition at university and had a great game there with a faster computer than it was designed for. Might try and dig it out from my parent's house this weekend to see what its like on my current setup.
Do you remember the procedure for the end of a season on that game? You'd have to just leave the computer ticking over for a bit.
I have owned every CM/FM since. I had one year after university where i decided I was too old to play games. That decision didn't last long as I bought it around February that year.

We need to go back in time and prevent the developers of FIFA and Pro-Evo ever being born. Then FM can have all the licences and we don't have to faff around with various fix methods.
It offends me that such a noob can be the only one to have completed British Steel.

Chelsea had just been take over by Abramovich and could never beat them with United.

Next couple of saves (Wimbledon and Northampton Town) went much better. Actually, the Wimbledon game went stupidly well, but it was the Northampton save that really got me hooked. I remember it wasn't originally supposed to be a Northampton save at all, I think I got sacked from Spurs or Arsenal or somewhere like that, and wound up at Northampton who were recently relegated and now struggling mid-table in what must've then been Division 3 in the second season. I was 12 years old and not really sure what I was doing, but somehow managed to get promotion via the playoffs and spent the next couple of seasons battling hard against relegation. Particularly memorable for the heroic exploits of the aging goalkeeper Craig Forrest who I'd picked up on a free. Eventually he retired and I took a bigger job (Ajax, I think). I've never had a lower-league game quite as memorable or enjoyable as that one since, but I keep hoping
