Default CM Ate my Life

Okay I might be being a bit cheeky and this may be closed or deleted by a sneaky plug

To be honest I never paid for my first copy on CM, there was a guy (dodgy might I add) who lived near me who sold Amiga games. You paid him a nice amount of £10 a month and got about 30 games. It was a good deal but most of the time you got…how shall I put it…*****! I was 12-13 and if I asked my mother for the money to buy a full Amiga game I would have received a swift slap across the head (a typical Irish mothers response, there you are 4 years old drawing on the wall with crayon. She comes in and says ‘that’s right, draw on the ****ing walls’, you respond by saying ‘I am mam’ – and a slap in the head you got).


As it was she had bought me my Amiga 600, which pretty much broke the bank so I found other ways of making a few quid for illegal games. I had played Footie Management games a few years. I had a ZX Spectrum and loved Football Manager – which to be honest was ****. My favourite game back then was a freeware game called Pro Masters. ******** all gfx but by Christ was it addictive. Buying, selling and managing your own football team!!



So, loading CM seeing this guy pointing at you (Ron Atkinson in a shellsuit?) and finding the result for the match (the anti-piracy part…sorry lads…didn’t work!, all you had to do was write them down from an original book – but I do purchase all nowadays).


At this time I was the only one of my mates who had an Amiga and it quickly became a ritual every ****ing day that myself and 3 of my buddies would meet up in a designated house (we rotated as it ****ed the **** out of our parents to hear 4 teenage lads ‘ooohhhing’ and ‘aaahing’) and play from 6pm till 11pm weekdays and the weekends was 9am to 12am, possible sleepover. Homework? Who needed it, we were ****ing managing soccer clubs, homework, school, girls, socialising? – who ****ing needed it? (FACT – Only one of us actually finished school, and only one is now in a relationship, none married)

Nice anecdote, which is probably something for the community thread, but it's not a story about an FM or CM game itself. For that reason, this is closed. Also removed the URL because we don't do teasers on here.

Nevertheless, welcome to FMS.
