    Football Manager

    Game » consists of 16 releases. Released 1982

    The first football management simulator, many of the hallmarks of the incredibly complex games which exist in this genre today are found in embryonic form here. Club finances, player transfers, basic tactics, and perhaps most importantly of all, excellent white noise crowd sounds when your team scored.

    Why is this on the Banned Games page?

    Googled it, apparently it's banned in China for recognizing Tibet as an independent country. :\

    It wasn't actually this Football Manager game, it was Football Manager 2005, which banned in china because it listed both Tibet and Hong Kong as countries. They said something along the lines of it "threatening national sovereignty".
