Only one game that really caused me to spend far too much of my time on. The Championship Manager 01/02 game by sports interactive. Was 13 years old when I first played it, my brothers and I, sharing one dusty old desktop PC, all playing in the same league against eachother. Was the Chelsea team with Zola, Hasselbaink, Zenden, Gronkjaer, Lampard and Petit I think.
Some very, very intense emotions caused by that game.
Last year, having discovered this game has been kept alive all these years with yearly updates, we set up an 4-way league online against each other. Incredibly, it was still very intense and enjoyable. Fighting for transfers, battling each other with wild formations and tactics.
Still the best game ever made for me.
How you can get a bunch of names and numbers on a screen to cause such intense emotions is quite something.
(The only other game was the first metal gear solid game on the PlayStation. Remember it being very different to other games.)
