CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The BBC promising to include at least one person who isn't funny on every panel show from now on. Well, that post ain't sexist at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Meh There's only ONE football manager Bloke who wrote it lived down the road from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I have hazy memories of these videos games being on cassette tapes, not sure how that would play out in terms of how much time you get spend on the games, obviously tapes have a time limit. You used have to wait for them to load though that must have left a lot of people pissed, don't know if they had football ones in those days.

RunRickyRun Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Meh There's only ONE football manager I played that on my dads Commodore I think, is that the one where you get exactly the same team of players no matter who you manage? Yikes now your asking but that seems about right It was just ground breaking with its stick man match highlights Arthur Albiston - First football manager legend!

Risso Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 You needed patience to play computer games in those days. Some games (e.g. The Hobbit) took about 6 minutes to load via cassette. That's if it loaded first time, which it inevitably didn't if your "tone setting" on the cassette player wasn't set exactly right. Even once loaded, the pages took a minute each to load. As for football games, you had the aforementioned Football Manager, but if you wanted an actual game of football, there was Match Day, which was brilliant. What they could do with 48K of memory back then was nothing short of magnificent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Football Manager is just too much pissing around these days. It lost its magic a while back for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 There's a 'classic' mode now which strips out a lot of the bloat, and is a lot more like the older games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted February 9, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2014 First footy game I played. International Soccer (cartridge) on the C64. Brilliant. I think we may have gone off topic a tad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the implication that drinking before you go out is a 'new craze'.that is so weird. Another one to file under the "no shit Sherlock" section from the BBC. They had a story a couple of weeks ago. Headline was: Regular football training helps reduce obesity in men. Next week: reports suggest bears regularly defecate in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Does anyone use these combined words except for media tossers? "Prinking", give me strength. If a mate told me he'd been prinking, I'd think he was a fucanker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
