This was my favourite football manager game for many years, until I bought the Amiga game Premier Manager. However, I thought it was earlier than 1986, or maybe my big brother had a good "0-days" source as he received a Turbo Tape copy rather early.
The Boss is tape based, but I liked it so much that I spent a few years (!) to finally make successful saves to disk. I don't think I managed to include a file name requester, so each disk side could only contain one saved game. I also expanded the game with two more divisions, a handful extra free transfers (Doherty and so on) and bug fixed the nasty habit that an injured or suspended player would be sacked from the team if you saved the game. I even liked to utilize the fact that you can make a negative bank loan, so you put all your excess money in the bank, avoid some luxury expenses that otherwise would happen and get some interest rate back from the bank!
Am I the only one who has played this game so much? Would Stadium 64 like a copy of my enhanced, disk optimized version?
