Battle of Britain Good fun. Had a few bugs, but overall it was an engaging game.
Football Manager - World Cup Edition I managed to win the world cup with Hungary playing this game. The tactics were bizarre. In my teams one player did all the running and scored all the goals. The other players stood around dancing or something. But, as was typical of the era, addictive!
Football Director I was really addicted to this game as a kid. I had Striker Manager, and that was fun, but this was a different level. Hard, tough, cruel, but rewarding.

Football Director
It's been a long time since I played this game.  However, I was addicted to it as a teenager and can offer some insights in to what makes this a great game and, slightly off topic, how you might go about achieving some success with it.

This game doesn't have any graphics or fancy music.  You won't see a picture of a ref or manager, let alone a player.  This is a minimalist game.  Its all about two attributes and whether you can harness sufficient amounts of them to propel you towards the topflight and success.  Patience and balance.

Your role is a combination of Director, Manager and Coach.  You inherit a team in the lowest division in the football league (the old Fourth Division) with a small budget and a squad of lowly players.  The players have an assortment of last names, none of them famous in any way.  Thankfully, you can change those names.  The players can be a goalie, a defender, a midfielder or a forward.  They are rated out of 9 (1 to 9) with 9 being best.  For those 9s that are capped for their country, they achieve an additional rating of being a 9I (the I standing for international).

You will start with a team consisting of players rated 1 or 2, with the odd 3 thrown in.  From memory, the only team formation that seems to be available is 4-3-3.  Each area of the pitch is attributed an average rating based on the ratings of the players in that area, divided by the numbers of players in that area.  For example, if your defence consists of a four players rated 2,3,4,2 respectively - your defence achieves an average rating of 3 (rounded up). 

When you start out in the fourth division, your team is poor.  Do not make the mistake of trying to improve it straight away by buying an expensive player in the form of a 7 or an 8.  These players will not improve your team.  Because the game won't let you buy instant success.  If you bu...
