This FAQ contains answers to questions that are frequently asked in the
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.misc newsgroup about soccer games for the PC.  Most 
questions are about the ftp location of shareware soccer games or the 
availability of soccer game demos.  Other common questions are about the 
system requirements of a certain game, or the address of a soccer game
publisher.  All these can probably be answered by reading the appropriate 
sections in this document, which I will try to keep up to date, and which 
I will post once a month to the following newsgroups:

comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.misc
rec.sports.soccer

The listings in this FAQ include a short description of each game so as 
to answer common questions like 'What teams does this game include...' 
or 'What type of game is...' (Arcade vs. Management).  

This FAQ does not rate soccer games, since this is a matter of personal 
taste or opinion.  This FAQ is for PC soccer games only, and does not  
mention soccer games on any other platforms.

Notes for Version 1.0 : (please reply to gt5644a@prism.gatech.edu)

 o I have tried to gather as much information as possible to compile a
   useful document.  Those soccer games I have not come across here in
   the U.S. (some are only released in Europe) will thus go unmentioned, 
   and the ones I have only heard about will be marked by ??? until 
   someone provides me with the missing info.  So in order to make this 
   document more comprehensive/complete and more useful, I need one kind
   soccer fan in Europe (from all the tens of millions <g>) to be my 
   partner in completing/maintaining this FAQ.  If you can provide any 
   of the missing info in this document, then you're great for the job!
   
 o As I mentioned above, I have tried to verify all the info in this 
   document to make sure it is accurate.  There will be mistakes however,
   and any corrections/additions will be greatly appreciated.  Your help   
   and participation will ensure that this document does not become 
   outdated and useless. 
   
 o If you feel that anything should be changed, removed or modified for
   any reason, please let me know.  I would appreciate any comments on
   this first version, good or bad, as these will help me determine what
   needs to be changed/updated.
