But you could play a season of FM in an hour. Not if you're playing it right. I've lost many an hour to scouring the scandanavian transfer markets. |

My sixth 2nd place on Fortnite. If I had a shotgun I would have won it I reckon. It's ridiculously intense at the end, heart going 100mph silly decisions made etc...but I was like an unstoppable killing machine taking out 3rd and 4th.

The one that featured a total of 24 players all who played in England and who had surnames of 6 or fewer letters.
That is Football Manager.

But you could play a season of FM in an hour. That story only makes sense if it took you 72 seasons to get Rotherham promoted. Indeed, but I did not play for 72 consecutive hours. I imagine the actual total playing time was more like 10-15 hours over the three days, interrupted by the quotidian activities of the era - homework, footy down the park with the lads, watching That's Life and Dallas, etc. etc.. The rest of the time it was just sitting there, processing results with its complex algorithms and gradually heating towards the temperature of magma. As for pissing myself, I can't be sure it didn't happen, as I have done so in my life, but I am pretty sure not in the period 1978-1992. |

Frankly I am disgusted anyone would play one of the inferior imitations that stole the name.
Even more so that the pervert would openly admit to such a crime.

My speccy used to malfunction after about 4 hours on.
You could turn it off and back on and get another half hour out of it. But after that it needed a little rest.

The only game I've ever had to leave on for several days was Day of the Tentacle, many years ago. I managed to find a program to get it to run on my laptop, but I couldn't get it to save, and so I always had to have the game open until I finished it. Totally worth it.
I have just installed a soft platform for the cat on the windowsill. It's not supposed to be so rickety, but the windowsill is not as deep as the contraption requires. Managed to secure it, and the cat is showing her deep appreciation by demanding another smooch.
This is the first step towards liberating my cat-occupied PC.

Football Manager 2 was good too. I think I had every football game ever released on the Spectrum. Aside from the work of Kevin Toms, Emlyn Hughes International Soccer was the best.

I gave up on Championship Manager when it took over an hour just to get to the opening league game of the first season. And that was without wanking in the Scandanavian transfer market.

I loved MatchDay.
Particularly the MOTD theme. I still regularly make the little beep whistle at the end when I watch MOTD.

I have 142 PS+ games installed on my PS4.
My external hard drive is kind of a big deal.

I think that is every PS+ game fir the PS4.
I've got a lot on PS3 as well. Though not all of them. And most are not currently installed.
I've played about 10 of them.

Yes, Match Day was seminal. I recall that Match Day 2 introduced the ability to make your man jump and do a mid-air volley. Playing that for the first time we knew how those apes in 2001: A Space Odyssey felt when they first clapped eyes on the space monolith.

I have never even heard of Match of the Day video game. For me it was Italia 90, Micropose Soccer, Kick Off and then the true masterpiece Sensible Soccer. As far as footy manager games went it was Two Player Soccer Squad before Prem Manager and Champ Manager appeared.

Of course I tried pretending to be Limni by posing as a guest, but ProBoards is telling me that I haven't agreed to their Terms of Service, although I've ticked the box. Utter shambles. |

By the way, so sorry for your... Thank you for your kind words. One day the Messi will come back, one glorious day. (But why does it have to be against Nigeria? I don't want Nigeria to lose, they've had two excellent goals today! Or maybe they are going to clobber Argentina, that would be entertaining.) |
