How many of these have you played?

Some absolute classic throwbacks here. The 'most important' football games according to the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35422607

Intellivision Soccer (1979) - never heard of it
Pele's Soccer (1980) - too young
Nintendo World Cup (1980) - too young
Sensible (World) of Soccer (1992) - amazing!
Championship Manager (1992) - most of my youth lost to this
FIFA (1993) - attempted to play it on my non-gaming PC at 10fps
Pro Evo (2001) - legendary at university with your mates

 

I was reading that article this morning - I have some great memories of Sensible (World) of Soccer! amazing game with rubbish graphics, but tonnes of charm! (wasn't that the game were Jean Pierre Papin was the best striker ever?) and the 1st couple of Champ Man's just blew everything else out of the water! Great days...

 

Also FIFA had some great commentary like "it's the referee's prerogative' which for some reason cropped up 20 times a game!

 

if fifa (1993) is fifa international soccer that was on the snes then that was my childhood. There was a cheat that let you control the ball while it was in the air

 

Classic, sounds like an awesome cheat!

 

Memories of Ibrahima Bakayoko, Jesper Ljung, Tommy Svindal Larsen, John Curtis, Erik Nevland, Bjorn Heidenstrom, Ilya Tsymbalar, Ever Moas and Viktor Onopko.

Would listen to the The Masterplan album by Oasis over and over and over playing Champ 97/98. Anytime I hear any songs from that album now I'm taking back to playing as Barca and Sonny Anderson smashing in 60 goals a season.

 

I used to play a manager game called on the ball. I think that was is name had some cool features like floating your club on sock exchange and placing bet's on results. Plus there was a news paper reviews and stories and one of them goes something like. During the flight home your plane with your squad on it crashed. Left you thinking OMG what do I do now. Then it pops up just kidding. .. classic

 

Loved that game.

 

It's funny I'm the same with Be Here Now and Champ Man and Age Of Empires! Viktor Onopko was amazing lol

 

Sensible Soccer and Championship manager *swoon*. Amazing games. Once managed to get a noshing off my girlfriendat the time whilst playing Champ Manager. A definite high point in my life...though probably not in hers!

 

Pro Evo was the business. I remember we had the Japanese version in our dorm. The commentary was quality "Shoootoooh!"

 

I'm a huge fan of the "where are they now?" game with Champ/Football manager uber kids. Henri Saivet, Freddy Adu, Fernando Cavenaghi, Mamadou Sakho and so forth.... What ever happened to these poor b*stards?

 

Maxim Tsigalko
Cherno Samba
Anthony Vanden Borre
Keirrison
Sherman Cardenas
Nicolas Millan
Kerlon

Where are you?!

 

International superstar soccer on the NES, the prerunner to the Pro Evo series. Best football games ever.

 

Currently playing Pro Evo after not playing for so many years, Pro Evo 06 and 07 were the best football games ever.....Konami really need to upgrade their servers for the online gaming, always issues with connection-lag, that's my main gripe.

 

Fifa 98, 2003, were also great, for me 2003 was the best ever fifa game.

 

In answer to the OP,none of them

 

When Cym was a lad, the popular game of the day was pushing a hoop along the road with a stick.

 

Our football game of choice was Subbuteo
