Premier Manager 97

It includes all nationwide leagues with 92 teams, updated teams for the 96-97 season (included an online database with player and manager information, career and trivia), a 3D match engine with comments from Barry Davies (but it isn't possible to play the game as in the original game).

While only the English league is available, it is possible to play in pre-season friendlies or international competitions against most first division teams in Europe and South America, as well as sign their own stars.

There are two game modes: Manager and Pro-Manager.

Manager allows the player to start in any team.

Pro-Manager on the other hand, requires the player to build his career from the Conference, promoting the club from the lower divisions or getting promoted himself to better ranked teams.

It's possible to tweak options such as the level of control ("trainer" leaves the player only in control of player tactics and squad selection, "accountant" is the exact opposite, giving the player control over transfers, contracts, staff, finance, board room options and ground expansions but no limited control over the squad, "Manager" gives control in all but contract deals and "total" gives full executive control) or if players age and eventually retire or play forever.

Up to 20 (!) players can play in Manager mode, 8 in Pro-Manager.

Premier Manager 97 for Sega Genesis is currently worth €4.59 loose, €11.11 complete in box, and €33.49 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Premier Manager 97 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Premier Manager 97, loose is €4.59 and CIB is €11.11 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
