Members will probably be aware of the “fun” I’ve had recently with the BBC Model B’s power supply going “pop.” Prior to that happening, I had planned to kick off some regular videos of the original Football Manager, which was initially going to be loaded from cassette.

The video is available to view now for Patrons on the Gaming Retro Patreon.
