Addictive Games

Starting up in 1982 in the UK, this company was well known for their first release, Football Manager which brought the managing of a footy team into people homes. It was also known because the creator, Kevin Toms, had his face on the front of the box. Addictive released a handful of games but it was Football Manager that stood the test of time, and some would say started the genre.

Note that the list might not be complete with all the different covers, media types and countries. If you got information about other releases please email me. Especially if you got a good cover scan I am missing. If you got anything for trade that I miss (see checkmarks) please contact me for trade/sale.
