Iceland (pop 334,000). have qualified for the WorldCup for the first time ever - the smallest nation ever to do so after an awesome match yesterday. So today we are going to take a look at old classic football games that we have here in our collection :)
The first game here is Football Manager. now football management game style has been one of the most enduring since Kevin Toms pioneered it in 1982. In this game you start in the 4th division with the team of your choice, and can play on indefinitely in the hope of reaching the top division and dominating it, as well as winning the cups.
Players can be bought or sold, with their transfer values varying according to the size of any bid. Their skills and morale vary as the season goes on, with resting key players in easy matches often a key move. You can take out a loan, limited depending on your division, while day-to-day bills must be covered. Matches feature short animated highlights sequences of key moments.

This version it the Atari ST version that adds graphics to this classic game, that was first only available in text mode.
After the success of Football Manager, Football Director for the Commodore 64 was one of the first rival attempts. You can choose any league team to manage, and like football manager they always start in the 4th division.
You will have to hire scouting, physiotherapy and coaching staff before you can do much - you can also hire a youth team for the chance of uncovering a rough diamond. Each week there are up to 2 players available to sign, who are (like your own players) rated out of 10 for form - players with more than 5 will rarely want to play in division 4. Matches are played outside your view, with a minute-by-minute update, and all the other results afterwards.
Money management is all-important; you can improve your stadium, sell players, take out a loan, and pay for your club's insurance. Injuries and suspensions, as well as cup and eventually European matches, all add to the challenge.

The third game here is European Championship 1992. This is a conversion of the coin-operated arcade video game World Cup '90 from Tecmo.
This game was made to commemorate the 1992 tournament, when the best European teams of the time competed for the title. The actual winner was Denmark, which didn’t even qualify for the tournament, but when the Former Yugoslavia could not enter the Danish team was called in as the wild card.
This game offers you many options. You can play alone or with one friend, and you can set the length of the matches to 5, 10 or 20 minutes. You can also setup the keys you wish to use, your video and sound options and the input device (either joystick or the keyboard).
