If you ever wanted to run a football club without leaving your chair, The Manager (1991, DOS) delivers. This early management sim lets you buy players, balance budgets, and suffer endless heartbreak when your team loses despite perfect tactics. The interface is old-school, but the obsession it inspires is timeless. It’s not flashy, but neither is real football management — just lots of spreadsheets, strategy, and shouting at imaginary referees.
