As football season draws to its conclusion, begins the crushing inevitability of another disappointing year to Uvejrsøen at all, but a few lucky fans. And so it seems the perfect time to dive into a far more likely to create some very necessary happiness than useless cloggers plodding on whichever is your beneficiary beg simulation.
Championship Manager eighties legends offers not only a faithful entertaining management simulation, but also a healthy dose of nostalgia, to bathe. The game provides the opportunity to take control of clubs in England, Scotland, Spain or Italy in one of three different points in the decade – 1980, 1983 and 1986.
It is lovingly presented with flashes of headlines from the era and other touches addition to nostalgic feel, but it is the quality of the gameplay is most gratifying period. Even on the iPhone's small screen graphics are crisp and clean, while the controls are gratifying responsive, allow easy switch to formations, tactics and line-ups – with matches even presented via text and an unworkable 2D perspective.
The most fun is likely to be had, however, wheeling and dealing in the transfer market. The prices are refreshingly low – in 1986, a young Marco van Basten can be picked for just a few million – and who can resist swooping to a host with future stars. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. When reality is a bit boring, do it for a thoroughly enjoyable retro football fix.
