Dazza Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 36 Started on the original Championship Manager Amiga A500 and played every version since.

hulkster02 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 CM1 55yrs old I reckon when we have established who the oldest player, SI should issue out a long term service award as recognition for your loyalty.

Mike7077 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I started as a kid of about five or six on the original Football Manager back in the late '80s/early '90s. I didn't play CM until CM97/98 when I first had a computer capable of handling a CM game. And I'm 23 (but I feel older than 30, if that makes my post eligible!)

sm1979 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The very first one with fake names and the fake Big Fat Ron lookalike.

I'm deffo with the man on this one, I thought exactly the same, real players would make the game immense.... now look at it - blimey how it's grown!

bermybhoy Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 What the younger generation will never appreciate was the ever present danger of your save game disks corrupting. 93/94 etc lasted 50 seasons as I recall, the odds of it ever making it that far were slim to none however (unless you were sensible and make backups I guess). There'd also be none of this asking 'when do the new regens appear?' nonsense - there was no mistaking it when it took approx. 2 hours to process the rollover to the new season. You had to make serious plans to go do something productive with those couple of hours of life while your Amiga was churning away for that length of time, so your could get stuck into it again.

Bodis Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I played the first footy management sim distributed by Domark, I thought it was called "The Manager" and made by SI, but maybe I'm talking about CM1?
