Goal.com's Top 10 Football Computer Games of All Time!

Yes you heard me, this is Goal.com's Top 10 Football Computer Games of All Time!

SPOILER: SWOS isn't No. 1

http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/22...es-of-all-time

I've not played half of the games on the list, but I personally consider Pro Evolution Soccer the best footie games.

TCD · 21 August 2009, 16:24

Kyon will not be amused...
Actually I played the #1 with a friend for some time 'back in the days'. Even if I don't like the genre, I have to agree that it's a quite nice game.
Phew, nothing spoiled

killergorilla · 21 August 2009, 16:26

Yeah, I've played a little bit of Championship Manager 97/98 but as my interest in football isn't THAT great, I never really invested the time to play it.

I have mates who swear by it though.

TCD · 21 August 2009, 16:28

Well, at least Sensible Soccer is #2. A bit strange to mix both action and sim football games in that list.

lopos2000 · 21 August 2009, 16:29

One of my favorite football game is Adidas Power Soccer. Fun to play with super scissor kicks and spectator moaning at half time about the performance on the pitch.

StingRay · 21 August 2009, 16:38

Striker #8? That's the best joke ever... Where's Kick Off2/Goal? O_O

killergorilla · 21 August 2009, 16:44

Well, they are clearly inferior to everything on that list.

It's a Top 10. THE TOP 10. Ignore it at your peril.

StingRay · 21 August 2009, 16:51

I just laugh about it, can't be serious anyway, I mean, Striker #8, WTF? Now I wait for the next list, with Lothar Matthäus Soccer on #1.

Graham Humphrey · 21 August 2009, 17:04

Another big CM 97/98 fan here also. That and the 93/94 Amiga versions are the best I think.

Also isn't Pro Evolution Soccer basically the same series as ISS Pro just with a different name?

killergorilla · 21 August 2009, 17:25

Yeah essentially it is.

Things have changed a lot since the days of ISS64 though

Retro-Nerd · 21 August 2009, 17:27

Championship Manager got a 28% score here, so i guess it isn't THAT great. Anyway, i prefer to play either a plain football OR football simulation game. SWOS and Bundesliga Manager Professional aka "The Manager" for me, if we are talk about Amiga games.

TCD · 21 August 2009, 17:45

Really? The 97/98 version? Which magazine gave that rating Retro? Would like to have a look at that review.

Retro-Nerd · 21 August 2009, 17:46

No, i meant the Amiga '93 version.

TCD · 21 August 2009, 17:48

Ah okay

Yup, that was pretty awful indeed

They improved it 'a bit' after that

Retro-Nerd · 21 August 2009, 17:56

I've played Anstoss 2 at that time. Best football manager, before the PC games needed to be patched a hundred times.

Ian · 21 August 2009, 18:04

EA have kick Pro Evo's arse for the last 3 years. While Pro Evo hasn't got any worse, it hasn't got any better either.

It's unfashionable to like EA as they suck, but FIFA 09 was the best football game I have ever played and the only one that has kept my interest for longer than a seasons worth of games.

lopos2000 · 21 August 2009, 18:23

I used to play Bundesliga Manager wich was great fun.

Hungry Horace · 21 August 2009, 18:27

where's World Championship Soccer?

The next step is clear: We must help Kyon collect every edition of each of the games on the top 10 list!!!
