I don't often get to retro events these days. I sometimes envy people living in the UK. I will fly in to be at Crash 2025

CrashEvent2025
A retro gaming event primarily catering for everything Sinclair - though we do have a LOT of other systems to play, including a dedicated Arcade area.

Just like its predecessor, Football Manager 2 dominated the ZX Spectrum sales charts - even as one of the most expensive games on the list! 🥇

I have a bet on Arsenal to win the Premier League and Bournemouth to finish in the top 4, but I did not expect this!

Συνέντευξη με τον Kevin Toms στο Sports via History FC
Πριν από το σημερινό Football Manager — την πολύπλοκη, ρεαλιστική και σχεδόν… εθιστική εμπειρία προπονητικής ζωής που γνωρίζουμε — υπήρχε ένας άνθρωπος που έθεσε τα θεμέλια για ολόκληρο το είδος.

As a Bournemouth fan, this is great to enjoy, also they are the only team in the Premier League which has not lost any of their last 6 PL games!

This is the App Preview for Football Star Manager 6.2.x for iOS and Mac. The Steam 6.2.x is live, and Android is at beta, and with luck will be able to go live next week as I write this.
