Early versions of Championship Manager & Football Manager

Used to love the very early ones
I remember one game, i found out how to cheat and add managers to different teams and sell myself the like of Ronaldo (fat) and Figo etc

F***ing mint
I might buy Championship Manager 02 off eBay

Used to love Championship Manager 01, was my first one that.

Yeh, i would of tried to get that but apparently it doesn't work with Vista

Champ Man 4 was the best.

Remember building Cardiff into a boss little side on that game. Anatoli Todorov and Mikael Forssell as me front two.

Might have a look at that one then

I think it was the first one with Ambrovich's millions.

The first version I played was CM 00-01. The best one ever was CM 01-02.

It's obviously outdated and I don't play it anymore, but judging by what I thought in each year a new version came out, CM 01-02 was the best. In the next few years after it came out, I would download the newer versions but still played 01-02 at the same time. I only stopped playing when the newer version had too many more options than the classic one, so it just wasnt so fun anymore.

I had an Italian league only version of season 96-96, it was boss.

You used to be able to download all of the old ones off the sigames website. Not sure if it is still going though. 97-98 was also a good game, and I had a patch to the 2006-07 stats etc using that format. I think they are all still available somewhere.

Any chance you could find that for me mate?
I'll take a (safe) free download of any early CM game

Yeah I'll have a go of finding it one night this week mate (y)

Champ 01-02 was by far the best!

Still play it to this day, have 2 games on it, one with a patch with all the updated transfers and stats! Nando is a fecking machine!

The other one is just with the original data, Mark kerr and kim kallstrom bossing my midfield with gerrard on the right and aghahowa banging them in from the left!

Wish i wasnt in work right now, getting withdrawal symptoms just thinking about it haha

I still remember with fondness the Football Manager games on the spectrum.

Gonna buy it off eBay, who are the top players in the game? Like what sorta generation

Was tempted to install FM 2005 the other day to see how much it has changed. Remember i used to love that game, was over the moon when i got it

CM 01-02 legends that were never anything special in real life:

Sergey Nikiforenko, Maxim Tsigalko, Agahowa, Marajó

Gonna buy it off eBay, who are the top players in the game? Like what sorta generation

Theres mark kerr, kim kallstrom, julius aghahowa, Shane Tolley (get him for cheap and he turns into an absolute goal machine), Lee Chun-Soo, Scott Huckerby (buy him for buttons from woking town), and of course taribo west on a free at the start! Thats all i can think of at the min mate, but i will get back to ye when i remember a few more!

All these boys will cost you very little, majority of them are young and very good, with potential to turn into world beaters after a few years!

To madeira was another one, for a lower league team, that turned into a boss player

Does 01-02 work on Vista?

Couldnt tell ye mate, im on XP

Nothing compares to 01-02

Guido Buchwald!!!

Taibo West...the best free agent around

Might have to go for 02-03 to make sure it's Vista compatible

I'm guessing none of the old-uns are going to work on Windows 7?

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHLLLLL LLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYY DOUBTFUL.

The first versions of this game were better than sex. Not that I'd ever had sex then like. I used to pull whole weekenders on them. Even better when it was bank holiday weekend and the snooker final was on the telly. Good times.

Oh, and I was the best manager ever.

Not much changed then. Apart from that last bit

Ha. I wish there was more snooker on.
