I had a 1966 England v Germany demo that was in black and white, as well as the classic apples v oranges clash. Also does anyone remember how ridiculously good Norwich City were?

The PC version was just like the Amiga version. I used to put Reserve and Trial players in my team and try to get them up to a high price.

I dont recall any of that man. On the version I had, SWOS: Euro 96 special edition, they had all the proper player names. And every version I had played before that had the real names.

You may be thinking of ISS...Maybe the PC version of SWOS, which was was released later, is what you are thinking of. Never went near the PC version so i dont know.

The funny thing as SWOS was that they could not afford to buy all the names for Players, so they used to change their names to save themselves lots of money.

Example,

Neville Southall was Southull, if i remember rightly.
