Football Manager is in the same vein as Software Star, also by Addictive. It's also one of the most venerable home computer programs, having first originated on the Sinclair ZX 81 computer You must manage your football team from division 4 to the top of division 1, and hopefully to winning the FA cup. On starting the game you are asked for your name and the team you wish to manage From then on it is very similar to Software Star you must buy/sell players. Obtain/pay off loans etc. Football Manager is much more addictive, however, and it is a lot easier to get into. Much of the game is text input, but during matches there are graphic highlights showing the goals, these are very poor, using matchstick men kicking a pixel around. Generally quite a good game but very dated now and iPs doubtful whether there will be much lasting interest in it. Overall AMTIX! rating: 59%
