Quite right, when you're the right side of forty, twiddling with your joystick and getting nasty pus filled blisters on your hands is something left to the younger riff raff of today, I remember around 1982 having a Binatone home "entertainment" system.
The least said, the better.
Except the fact that I'm completely, totally and utterly lying my arse off...

yeah, i know that's seven but it would've been disrespectful to leave any of em out
great idea for a thread - so many happy memories
Ta lads, some unbelieveble games mentioned in this thread. I honestly don't think though there is a better hero than Solid Snake. That man has saved the planet countless time and is a genuine hardman who you respect.
Love metal gear!!
Not long till the PES 2010 vs FIFA 2010 battle commences, come on the Pro Evo!!!

Some great choices there
the very 1st Football manager was great at the time on speccy, also had one called Peter Shiltons handball soccer, which was great but not many people have ever heard of. Also Mexico '86, great game

Don't think it is. Before Championship Manager PM was the daddy!
Two awesome games, tho imo SensiSoccer was not as good as the Anco/Dino Dini Kick-Off/Goal series.

Wasn't the ISS Pro series the precursor to the Pro Evo series?? Loved the originals
Love the oldschool. Seriously, the only thing that has gotten 'better' over the years is the graphics.

I don't think Football Manager as it is now is the same game as you are thinking off. Originally it was Championship Manager and first came out on the Amiga in the early nineties. CM3 (I think, maybe 4) was the best imo. Played 30 seasons in one game in my final year of uni!
My 5:
Champ/Footy Manager series - many hours lost to these games during my life
Doom/Quake - Got me into PC gaming. Without them I might not be here now. Quake is still the best pure 1v1, FFA FPS imo. Others might have better/flashier graphics, better team modes etc, but iD hit the jackpot with the MP side on Quake. It just all 'works'. Only Q3 really comes close for pure FPS DM gameplay.
Civilization series (II onwards) - The No.1 strategy games. Ever. Who cares if it's turn based?
Kick Off 2/Goal - The best footy games ever. Forget all your modern gimmicks, Sensible Soccer's 'pinball football', etc. The best, most accurate (for the time), purest translation of the sport to the computer screen, as long as you resisted the temptation to use the 'computer passing'. No other football game recreated the feeling of playing a through ball through to your striker, curling it in between the full back and center back like this game. Scoring overhead kicks off perfectly delivered crosses was orgasmic. And all of this was only achievable thru your own skill, as opposed to the computer assisted games they churn out nowadays
Kick Start II - Cool Trials game on the Speccy, first game where you could make your own levels, which opened a massive **** off gate for me and various forms of editing became something that I continue to do nowadays, almost more so than actually playing games

Yeah mate, they bought the name after they split with Eidos, who took the CM name and ruined it. The original was great though at the time. Never got into the Kick off games, well hard to control the ball. Only thing about SWOS was there were too many positions where you could score every time as the GK was crap. Just to the side of the centre circle was my fave, pull the joystick right back and to the side and you'd lob the keeper every time.
Oh and imo the best CM game by a mile was Championship Manageer Italia, upped the series a notch when they brought that out
