there used to be this thing going on called SGFC- soccer gaming football club. the most active users, were put into Championship Manager. unfortunately due to the lack of time of the manager the project sleeps with the fish :mambo:

well i had a computer back in 92 in Romania which sucked but i used to play some skiing game, a soccer game and prince of persia ! then i got a computer in 96 when i move to America it was a P2 250 Mhz 32MB Ram and 2 Gigs of Space ! I got another a couple years later ! It was P3 450 7 Gigs Space (i still use it in America) and i also use a 1.7 Ghz 512 MB Ram & 40 Gigs Space which is mostly used by my parents, i usually just play Counter-Strike and Championship Manager on it. In Romania i'm using: P3 700 mhz 20 gigs 128 MB Ram. Now in September i'm getting the Ultimate Gaming Machine !
