An old school pal of mine used to have a game on his watch in the eighties I remember,
The watch used to go round the class on a daily basis,
Good times.

Note to the younger lads, You dont know what you missed if you havent loaded a game from a cassette onto your personal computer.

The following games were all massive on the Commodore 64. The 64 standing for the massive 64 KB of RAM, being a whole 4 times more powerful than its predessessor and in comparison laughable C16 (with 16 KB of RAM)

'Matchday 2' - absolutely classic. Breakthrough game IMHO. Legendary. A new level of realism.

'Brian Cloughs Football Fortunes' - the late 80's / early 90's football management game. Played half and half on the computer and a board game. Excellent game, multiplayer available and all matches played out on the videy-printer!! The tension waiting for your teams score... Unreal!

'Emlyn Hughes International Soccer' was a classic. Never liked it as much as Matchday 2 but was probably at least it's equal.

'Microprose Soccer' heralded the arrival of the modern football games.

Non-Football honourable mention: 'Elite' on the BBC computer - still absolutely without peer.

You look at it now and wonder how they can possibly make it any more realistic, although we were probably thinking the same thing 10 years ago! The graphics really have hugely improved over the last 3 years or so though

Football Manager on The C64.I played this game for f**king hours at a time .You would be terrified of leaving it because there was a good chance it wouldn't load to the same spot as you left it.Those cassettes would break your heart.

As good as they are and Ive just watched the new PS4 version of Killzone (looks good) the complete jump was from the megadrive to the PS1 Shocked. Basically from 2D to 3D. As good as PS2,xbox360 went onto having brilliant lighting effects and draw distances, It was never so much of a jump as it was when the PS1 came out.The xbox 360,PS3 doesn't have the scenery popping up in the distance that you seen on the PS2,XBOX but the PS1 for me when the first formula 1 came out for it and the wipeout demo Clap blew the mega drive out of the water for me
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

That jump is really the technology, from cartridge to cd (mega drive to ps1). Similar to cassette to cartridge (c64 to mega drive) and also cd to DVD (ps1 to ps2).

remember the peno kicks in italia 90? they were class

there was alos a gme on the amstrad, think it was fa cup, and you would pick 10 teams and try to win the cup, there was vitually no management input and the scores would just come up, i remember your star african player would be injured and you would have to decide whether to allow him to go home no his nigerian witch doctor or treat him at the club, meself and weelout played this for hours

there used to be some cracking arcade football games back in the day, cant remember the name of them though

Probably like yourself I've grown up in that time frame and i remember the c64 well but I do think the cartridge to the cd was the most striking imo out of the lot. It was unbelievable when the PS1 came out

I've just also found Rugby World Cup 95 which I also had for the SEGA when I was younger. It was made in the same style as FIFA with the awkward angle

I downloaded it there and it is alright so far. None of those toolbar add ons included anyways. You also have to sign up for unlimited plays as it only allows guests 7 plays
