@hjohnners appreciate the message. it's not an easy decision but the right one.

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

I’ve taken CM 26/27 offline.

It started as a personal project for a few friends and became something I never expected. Thank you for every message and save story.

A few words on why, and a goodbye:

@croftmatthew Thanks, glad you're enjoying it! The browser version already runs DOSBox at maximum cycles (the same as holding Ctrl+F12 until it tops out), so it's going as fast as your browser and computer allow. I'll look into a speed option on the play page to see if I can squeeze a bit more

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

@BusterGonasa no worries. just type https://t.co/Rg8DQCYHUn in your address bar and hit enter

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

@croftmatthew Press the spacebar once the match has kicked off.

@BusterGonasa I haven't enabled indexing of the site yet, so it won't appear in search engines. best to copy the URL and paste in the address bar.

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

@RyanIM2Stars nope, it's only for 97/98 I'm afraid.

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

@ArsenalFCView Yes, to load the game. Once it's running, everything happens in your browser, so a dropped connection won't stop your game. You need to be online again to reload or start it.

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

thanks for early feedback! 500+ visits in 5 hours

Game: the Italy crash fix, LR Vicenza's Europa League place
Web: Download Save and Load Save File added, the save-failure recording

@jakemiller10 Thanks Jake, glad you like the backgrounds! Good spot: it's not a bug in the game, it's the data. Some players like Idah were given too much potential, so the AI clubs treat them as future stars. I'll fix that in a database update (it'll show in new games).

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

@daveyjs2013 thanks - did you manage a play a new game?

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

@malte_sven @cm9798 yes, saves are saved in the browser - which means you'll lose your save if you delete your cookies https://t.co/VFsQtTzUYO

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

@BusterGonasa yeah, works on laptop but not mobile or tablet as it needs keyboard + mouse

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

@goatm4jor @cm9798 cheers Jeff! congrats on Premier League. didn't manage to bump into you outside the Emirates haha!

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

I just created a version of @cm9798 with modern players, teams and managers and I don't know what to do with it next!

Here's a demo of it:

[George Taylor @higeorgetaylor]

@cm9798 Didn't have much on, so started and finished over last week!

I build an offline editor first meaning most of the players, teams and managers and their stats could be generated via AI along with reviews and re-balancing.
