Champ Manager
the game allowed you to take over Team and Country which playstation management games never allowed. Taking charge of a country was so awesome, especially when you entered a competition and I even managed to win England the World Cup and it was so great.
What made the game so great was how it was different, standing apart from the ground placing boundries on themselves and them battering them. Other games had tried to keep their games limited with you only being availible to manage in four countires, but Champ smashed that with league upons leagues that you could play in.
The game was UTTERLY AWESOME. You became hooked from the first time you played it and still hooked a week or two in. I may play it now.
