Ah, now we're talking. One of the legends of computer gaming, Football Manager has sold hundreds of thousands of copies on every conceivable format, from ZX81 to MSX to Atari ST.

A classic strategy game, it's still massively addictive today, though it's been out-featured by practically every other game in the genre since. The Amiga version, sadly, isn't half as good as even the Spectrum one.

The match highlights - the game's centre-piece - are unbelievably slow and tedious, and without their hook the gameplay is left looking as slight as it actually is. Dig out your old 8-bit and play it on that instead.
