This simulation of the job of a football manager is one of the oldest and best-selling computer games around and its conversion has not dimmed its appeal. Your task is to lead your club through the four divisions and the FA Cup to fame and fortune (or get sacked).

You start in the fourth division and each season play a game against the other 15 teams in your division. You also take part in the FA Cup with the games interspersed with the league schedule. The main part of the game is the preparation and playing of the matches.

You have a squad of players who play in defence, midfield or attack and have ratings for their skill and energy. Having picked a suitable team from these you are shown highlights of the match in 3D with stick-man players and a very enthusiastic crowd.

Once the results are in a table is formed and you then do the other jobs required of you as manager. You'll be presented with the week's finances, including a possible loan, the chance to buy and sell players, and game options for saving, changing skill level and seeing your rating.
