Before beginning the review, I would like to complain about
the programmers (both foreign and ours) who cheated his
attention this interesting kind of games. Total on the Speccy,
there are about two dozen games, with the majority dated 84-88
year (BC, ha ha) and represent the example of how not to do data
game. I also know about a dozen of these games and then for the
most part passed through the "good" hands of hackers. So let's
begin.
The Double
Release Date 1984-86 years.
J.S. Ltd
This is the most interesting manager at the
moment. Its indisputable advantage is the reality of what is
happening, t.e.esli you have a team overloaded with stars, it
is does not mean that you are 100 -% chempion.Kak would not
so. You may have and for survival
to compete and try to taste 2 nd, and even
3rd Division. Today you can beat
leader with schetom 6-1 (the largest), and
tomorrow what - will do anything zamuhryshka
of you have such a "beshbarmak" that his own mother
do not know. In general, do not get bored. System
transfers are also quite interesting and draws no less than the
championship and Cup. Uninitiated player will rave about for a
long time and break Claver on his head, trying to to win both
at once. Personally, I won the Cup at the 2 nd season (though
not with Leicester'om, but with Everton'om), but the champion
was somewhere around 50 th. For those who does not want to
suffer so much and have good complementary description of this
game in Spectrofon N19 and Odyssey # 1.
Multiplayer Soccer manager.
1991
Invented Jay Atkinson.
A rather good game with good governance and the ability to
play from 1 to 4 people. The action takes place in the early
90s. Serious difference is that you can not just choose the
style team play, but also to train the players improving their
skills. You can also make a team your yard or even rename all
players in their families (for this
have to consistently buy them, rename and sell), this
There is a special option. Number of trophies
increased to 3 (Championship, FA Cup, League Cup) and won them
all at once rather than just. The disadvantage is
the absence of "gold" means, ie with
weak teams you shamelessly are flying, and with
strong Prete ahead, like a buffalo;
The third is not given (or very rarely). One
the game is quickly bored, but two or
three of us (I think four futbolofilov rarely
gather in one place) so you can roll ... Well vobschem play,
you'll see.
Manchester United
Manchester United In Europe.
Krisalis (92-94).
Entertaining a story about the adventures of
M.U. in the Premier League and League Cup
and F.A. Excellent graphics, easy to use interface
a small selection of strategy for the match-that's what
distinguishes this game. As well as in MPSM here
You can rename the players and teams, but
here is one division, in contrast to MPSM, where
to 4. Training set is much richer than
in all games combined. The most serious drawback is that the
game lasts only one season, and then prog hang and not
responding to the clave. Transfers as realistic as possible,
but it does not make them such as in zanimatenymi
The Double. You can read messages on the newspaper account of
how things are going at the Red Devils (nickname Manchester
United), but However, you can not find a better
scorer of his team not to mention
leader of the championship (in goals of course).
The game gives the impression of something nedodumannogo and I
was hoping for a noticeable improvement in the second part (if
I did not know that it is). But read about it further.
The second part of came out with a much
updated football simulation, there
New strikes, combination game was meaningful and sharper, but
here's the plot was chosen very very bad (who wants to sit all
day for some UEFA Cup or Cup Winners' Cup). Just depressing
presence left (and not only) the names of the compositions
opposing team (which are Jaspastop and
Popapered), their strategy zanudlivaya 2-3-5
sverhmetkie and center-forwards, which implement 90% of
opportunities to score, in contrast on your 30-50%. As they
say, pulled her head, but tail stuck ...
Kenny Dalglish Soccer Manager.
Invented by someone unknown, the
so that way at 87.
In the mid-80's to the post of Chief
Liverpool coach was invited Ken Dalglish, who played previously
for the same Liverpool as a center forward. In 1984 Liverpool
makes gold double, and the 86 th seizes power in English
football.
You have to repeat the feat of the famous Kenny and make
chempionom any (select name at the beginning of the game) long
unsold team. Your task is "easier" because your club is a very
"rich" and has "excellent" choice of players.
The game has a demonstration mode
dangerous moments, which makes this variety is nice but too easy
game. Managing with icons much easier your life (fresh breath
facilitate understanding) and increases the rate rate games.
Impression of the game is not bad.
Soccer Rivals.
P. Watson, S. Kay
This entertaining toy was released
in 1985 and represents a sort of cross between Monopoly and
football manager. A game for 3 people, each with its own team
in the championship of the 4 divisions of 8. Having start-up
capital 250000, you must make his team champion 1 st Division
it from an outsider the 4 th, which is not so
simple. Toy quite entertaining, but
quickly tired of the constant reduction of your composition by
umervschleniya in drunken brawl (approximately 1 in a season,
if lucky, but if not then maybe 3), although you can get the
player for free when hire a trainer (coach), which is the same
for your current Mogae players to maintain combat readiness.
1-st Division Manager.
Code Masters
Quite an interesting attempt to imitate
this football club, you even have files on all players for your
division! But after playing a bit longer you will certainly be
disappointed - all too primitive, and even, at first,
interesting report on the progress of the match soon be
completely bored.
Super League.
Players
This game is dated 1989, published
in England, after renaming the 1 st division in the Premier
League. Your task is approximately the same as in Kenny
Dalglish SM. From the other games it features a clever system
of planning staff. The author shows little one indicator -
skills and they added a second - energy. Design
this game is like 2 peas in a pod resembles World
Cup Challenge, and even animals show exactly the same.
Championship consists of 4 divisions of 24 and played in a
circle (ie 23 match). Also present and FACup (where not). There
is the possibility to rename both players and teams. Here are
just never seen this game shipment to the disk, and shipped to
the tape - not the same.
Soccer Boss.
Year and author unknown.
Name of the game speaks for itself. You are the boss
any British (again) the team (which
choose), and very ambitious. Starting
game 2-4 division (as will choose)
You must make your club leader of English superiority, that is
very problematic due to indiscriminate mutilation of your
players of other teams. Game primitive (made on Basic'e) and
quickly tired of the fact that we have to save
literally everything (even the player) to
do not go bankrupt.
Professional Soccer.
D. Leith, K. Brice
Quite interesting and entertaining game
though done long ago and not very good.
Since the conclusion of the results takes more time than in The
Double, although there appear results of 10 matches, but The
Double 33. There are no real players, though their names are,
and you at the gate, you may receive any N. Rush and S. Clough,
and in attacking T. Shilton and K. Pearce. But in
at the same time, the game captures the unpredictable and the
severity of the struggle in any of the 3 divisions, although
you can see results of his and the remaining
All results are randomly selected number
at the end of the season. I am saddened by the fact that
as I was not looking, I could not find a whole
version of this u ry. All the time I come across versions ispor
chennym market players but also because it can win.
Football manager-2.
Author and year are unknown.
This is a classic toy, for decoration
no anticipatory fellow genre.
Players in this game - the real stars of (Gary Lineker, Peter
Beardsley and other mob). You are given a certain amount of
such "zvezdulek and ridiculously small
capital, and offer a win. You put your players in position on
the field, Determining how much play in attack, defense
and in the middle of the field (sorry, that the authors have
shown a distinct lack of a sense of humor does not allowing
simultaneously play two, three or four guards of the gate).
Advanced Soccer Simulator.
Mastertronic 1989
This game is designed for 1-8 players. Players are divided
according to skill from 1 to 5, which is really cool. The same
way they have present energy (oddly enough, too
from 1 to 5), which has a bad property
terminate at the critical moment. You
can buy and sell these same players from 1 to 5, as well as put
and not put them on the same match.Tak you have
meaner money (250000), which also
ends at the wrong time. Your task is surveillance of money and
energy, and inventing all sorts of perverted their ways
preservation and (or) multiplying by the way winning all sorts
of unnecessary and the Cup championship. But they seem to be
irrelevant only 1 st sight: for them, and then give those same
money, and energy is obtained ochchchen tricky
way - REASONABLE PLANNING COMPOSITION
(Well skazanul). In a word, sitting at this
toy, sweat for the health and grab
his heart attack the lovely soul.
By the way, here are the ability to rename commands, and
change the game level and even Select the number of points for
a win! As You can dispatch / load situation and choose the
color of the screen during the game, which the ball is larger
than the size of any player.
CONCLUSION.
Here we give you and gave examples of their games
favorite genre. Pro football games are lost in the
Flows of arcade games, pouring on our
computers from the market vendors unfairly, unreasonably
attributed to the debris software company. But we are optimistic
believe that the troubled times for Soccer ma
nagers are over ... Word will be good.
