Facing weeks/months without football, I thought it was a good time to get back into Football Manager. Not played one of these type games for 20 years, I gave up as it was too time consuming and addictive
Indeed not played ANY games for 20 years.
I'll be playing on a PC, and want to play a full fat version, so does that mean I should play the normal version rather than the Touch version?
Is "steam" an online version, and is this the same otherwise as buying the physical game?
Thanks

96 was my awakening, post 2000 it got too much, far, far too much
Be warned though - the amount of detail and commitment that goes into the game far exceeds most other gaming experiences.
Since the most recent one came out in November, I’ve spent a lot of time downloading graphic packs, skins, databases etc in order to enhance the experience - yet I still haven’t even managed to get past a full pre season yet due to my own faffing around
That's free as well BTW.
Bought a physical (brand new) copy on ebay as it was cheaper than buying through the official Steam site
Always started off with Wycombe Wanderers in the conference.
I had it on the Atari ST, genuinely surprised the floppy disk didn't wear out.
Floppy disk, kids Google it.
THIS was the game of the 80s anyway
He has an android version on Google Play, quite evocative.
But the best one on Playstation in my eyes is LMA Manager, would play hours and hours on that game. How they haven't brought that back I do not know.
FM08 is a decent one - just after we went down so a bit of a challenge sorting out Pardew's mess, but a few good wonderkids like Aaritalo, Torje & Stancu who you can buy with the money you get for shipping out players like Iwelumo and McLeod.

Always make sure he's my first signing along with a young Aussie Striker called Tallan Martin (Free Signing)
With 01/02 you can edit the Commentary file so games get played quicker meaning you can complete seasons a lot faster
@ForeverAddickted Forgot Mike Duff, often second fiddle to Ibrahim Said though.
I was 22.
Summer of 98, my parents went on holiday for a fortnight. I reckon 10 days out of 14 I was on the PC at 8am and played solidly through to 1 or 2am. Might explain why I didn't get laid much as a youngster.
Love that so many people have had the same obsession with it. I've heard stories of people putting on a suit when their side was in the Champions League Final, and I once found myself scrolling through a Champ Manager message board where people were reminiscing about their favourite players from older versions of the game, obscure Dutch defenders, Leyton Orient reserves and so on who went on to become superstars of people's CM teams.
