I can still play my first ever Football Manager game back in 1993 !!! It was a game called Wizard Soccer by a company named Wizard Games in Scotland . It was quite unique back then and you could play the Top 4 major English Leagues with a text based ME . Selecting your players was based on 4 attributes namely Superb , Good , Average and poor . Me and my mate stayed up to all hours of the moring playing it . You could also print your tables etc , Trade , buy etc .
Their next installment was a game called 1-0 95 and was able to play Internationals with World Cups.
