So while the international breaks are on and the premier league has stood to a stand still just a question to all and the eds aswell what's you're favourite football computer game of all time mine personally has to be premier manager 98 on the ps2 that game for me was addictive I got up to the year 3000 on it and the music in background was sick but yeah great times.

Used to love championship manager on the PC but played a lot of Fifa on PS4.

Good shout dentie totally forgot that one champ man 01_02 aswell.

Championship manager 95, I think. Ni Lamptey was the bargain player to kick start your campaign. No idea if he was actually any good in real life ha ha.

Sensible Soccer.

The original Football Manager series by Kevin Toms (think that's his name) was the very first game i played on the old spectrum! Tracksuit Manager and Striker were another couple of good ones for that system, those were the days of annoying sounds as your game took an age to load up haha.
Premier Manager on the amiga was decent game. With these titles, I'm really showing my age here, all pre console days.
Sensible Soccer was class too, game play was addictive. I've played the majority of the Champ Manager series and then the same with Football manager when it changed its name. Pro Evo was always better than fifa for me and my mates but both have gone crap these days.
Cheers, andy, proper little trip down memory lane there mate!

Emlyn Hughes International Soccer was the fifa of its day waaaaaay back in 1988, just because it was side on. Microprose Soccer was gash, but Gazzas Superstar Soccer was so unplayable I cried like the great Geordie soft lad himself every time I played it. This was, of course long before consoles, where games were played projected onto cave walls through the skins of our slain brontosauruses.

Loved sensible soccer on the Mega Drive FBS - it was the first football game I bought!
I remember FIFA 96, FIFA 98, Championship Manager 99-00 and Champ Man 01-02. Hours upon hours spent playing on those. Bought FIFA 14 as it was the first to have Goodison Park in it but haven’t bought and recent editions as our team has been crap. Possibly the one with James, Allen and Richy was the last decent side on FIFA.
I seem to remember us buying Ibrahim Bakayoko based on the hype on one of the champ manager games. Always makes me laugh that does.
{Ed025's Note - i have to admit i never played video games, i was too busy playing the game than watching it on a computer..

Same Ed I have never played a video game in my life. I was too busy drinking, sleeping with women and going the match.
{Ed025's Note - same here Reg, i dont know how people find the time mate..

I got drunk, slept with women, went the match all while playing video games. It's quite possible to be into video games and still be a goddamned sexual tyrannosaurus.

Ah - I don’t drink so I save myself a bucket each year and have plenty of time for gaming Ed. Admittedly, having kids has taken over any spare time when not working for the last decade.
Think it’s a generational thing. You also had your hoop and stick to entertain you which was the video game of its time….
{Ed025's Note - we had to make do with tar bombs BR a hoop and a stick was out of our price range mate, and school holidays was going to Sefton park with a jam butty and a bottle of water with sherbet in it and told not to come home all day, my computer was an abacus.. :)

My video game as a kid was the Mersey ferry. Spent many a long hour going backwards and forwards across the water hiding from the ticket collector. Call of Duty had nothing on us. We were invisible?.

Loved premier manager 98 and 99. In fact I still have them both at home as well as a ps2 that they run on. Might have to play them again soon.
The old LMA manager games were quite good too on the ps2.

Loved the one with handles/ levers, flick of the wrist gooooooaaaaalllll. Big priority though 'watch the bloody beer'.

Studs eh lads? Drunk studs?
I couldn't bring myself to say Em Hughes soccer for obvious reasons but I definitely played it. But the banana after touch on Sensible Soccer was a revolution.

Very drunk FBS. Mrs Palmer and her five lovely daughters were never the same again.

Remember Freddy Adu?
