34. Championship Manager 97/98 (PC)
The simplicity of these early games from the series that would become Football Manager results in a much more addictive game to me. Once they started adding more and more into the game, it lost a little of its appeal and as such I don't buy the games any more. Back in the 90's, you simply bought and sold players, picked a team and a formation with simple tactics, and away you went. Entire seasons could be completed pretty quickly because of this setup, and so before you know it, a decade of game time has gone by. I chose this one ahead of others because it's probably the one I sunk the most time into.
Number 33 is the second game in a PS3 trilogy.
