Hi guys,
After years and years of not playing the game and then years and years of searching... I finally found a burnt CD with Footy Fanatic AE on there....the OG of sim games.
I never really liked the way that FX played and absolutely loved the simplicity of AE. I spent ages trying to hunt it down online and only ever found the original Footy Fanatic and FX edition....never Atomic Edition.
Well anyway I tried to remember how to follow the install process and low and behold I got it working...Best part is that I haven't owned a Windows computer in a long time and everything worked seamlessly running a copy of Windows XP in Parallels.
I downloaded a version of the 2015 lists which I found in here. However these lists are for FX and aren't compatible with AE as each player is its own file under the team folders unlike in FX.
Would be awesome if someone happened to have a relatively updated roster for AE as I'm finding it pretty funny playing with 2002 lists lol.
Screenshots for people that don't believe me.
*The only thing I couldn't get working was Stat Sniffer. I remember having problems years ago with a similar thing and I think it has to do with not having the complete Microsoft Access suite on the virtual machine. I reckon it might work fine with an older computer, but to see who was leading goal kickers, marks, kicks, etc it just shows up blank boxes.
