POLL: Who still has the original FOF?

Blackadar · 06-16-2004, 08:22 PM

I was going through my box 'o games tonight, because I'm bored and looking for something to play. I'm about all Sacred(ed) out for a while with over 100 hours invested in it. It seems that there are few decent RPGs or strategy games worth having right now.

Guess what I stumbled across?

My original copy of FOF - the very first version. Complete in its case. It got me wondering who else still has one around.

JeeberD · 06-16-2004, 08:23 PM

First version I ever had was FOF2, and I lost it when my ex-roommate took his computer with him when he moved to Wyoming...

I have it...one of my treasured items. Not because I play it, but because it was so addictive.

Barkeep49 · 06-16-2004, 08:29 PM

I tried to order it after it had been sold out. That was a bummer.

LionsFan10 · 06-16-2004, 08:30 PM

Still have it, I had to buy it off of eBay because Jim had run out of them. Spent a LOT of time on that one, got a couple of friends addicted to it and that's all she wrote, what a wonderful game.

I've still got every version of FOF I ever bought, although admittedly only two of them (three, I guess, if you count edit: TCY) were hard copies, as opposed to downloads.

Ragone · 06-16-2004, 08:33 PM

man i remember buying the original fof.. was a fa linebacker who always turned into a super stud... Was it Micheal Barrow? i can't really remember.. or was it Mark Fields?

Bad-example · 06-16-2004, 08:36 PM

I bought and still own every version of Front Office Football except FOF2 and the second EA release...FOF 2k2 I believe it was called.

TCY was the only one I regretted purchasing.

Axxon · 06-16-2004, 08:37 PM

I was lucky. I ordered it just in time before it sold out. I still have my copy but I lost my cd copy of TCY. I had to reorder the download version when I got my laptop.

I played the FOF1 demo for a while, but began my "career" when FOF2 got released a year later.

I sold mine on eBay after FOF2k1 was released by EA. In retrospect, I wish I kept it.

judicial clerk · 06-17-2004, 10:26 AM

I still have my FOF. What a great gaming experience. One of my friends was actually in the game 9and he wasn't too bad). I don't think he made any of the other versions.

Darkiller · 06-17-2004, 11:15 AM

Still makes me feel "weird" when I launch FOF2 with the original player names and see the likes of "Rae Carruth" or "Fred Lane"...

on the flip side, it's great to have Steve Young and Dan Marino in the game :-)

Shepp · 06-17-2004, 11:24 AM

I still have my FOF1 sitting around my office somewhere. Makes me wish that I could get them all on CD. I know the downloads are convenient but I'd like to have the hard copy, even if its for nothing more than a walk down memory lane.
