Barkermush Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I'm 24 and i've been playing since CM 00-01, after a couple of my friends introduced me to the game. I've never looked back since. It did get in the way of school homework as i couldn't be bothered and wanted to play CM instead, but i did well in my exams so it's not all bad.

Ratboy Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I was playing Football Manager when I was in my teens......but that was the very first Football Manager by Kevin Toms on a Spectum Oh and when I read people complaining about SI's Football Manager 3D match engine today, this is why it always makes me chuckle... Ahhh... the memories! LOL! I remember playing that when I was about 9 or 10. Although, there really wasn't much strategy to the game. I always wondered if the same company made both games but now I know. (Load "".......pushes play on tape recorder.) Glorious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentleman Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I think I`ve been playing football manager since 96/97. Guess that means I`ve been playing this stuff for almost 15 years now ...

Alan A Wadge Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 i've been playing football management games since the golden days of amiga. I remember I had one called "THE MANAGER" and after that I had Premier Manager and then I started playing Championship Manager Italia.... considering I was born in 87, that makes me one of the youngest managers ever at the age of 5!!!!

Steellad Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 *ages a little more* I was first introduced to CM2 by a mutual friend. I had been involved in a short fling with a demo of ultimate manager and was fascinated, i admit the stadium graphics seemed a dealbreaker. A brief sermon on its shortcomings and the signing of Salas, Zinho and Mbo Mpenza to Celtic on CM2 saw to that. Around this time i also received a free copy of premier manager, which was garbage. Addiction peaked in early 00's. 97/98, 01/02, fm05 and fm06 stood out for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dovEs Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Im 28. Played every version to death since the time of the Italy Germany France add on, 96/97 I think it was. 97/98 was when the addiction really took ahold though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubentus_Juventus Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 yeh look i really started playing CM when i was around 9 and my footballing knowledge is really amazing! It's a great game but takes up a lot of social time! And didn't think so many teens play it, as it can be a bit of a complecated game.... but good to hear!

H2ONeon Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I am 18, someone showed me CM 99/00 and i managed to pick up a demo on a cereal box, (YES THEY USED TO GIVE THEM OUT ON BOXS) then got the full game, so i have been playing since i was about 8 or 9...

dudge7 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I'm 20 (**** I'm old ) and the first manager game I played was 99/00 iirc, at least that's the earliest version I own. I do remember not playing it when I was 9/10 though. Think I started at around 11/12 with CM 01/02, great game, still play it on occasion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfan2 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Unfortunately I am now too old to remember when I started playing the game but I do recall CM3 as being the great leap forward in football management games.
