Another notable contribution was PM97, the successor to the very successful Player Manager series. Sierra were the first of the big companies to try their luck, with USM2, which was quite good indeed. It is the Doom and Myst of soccer management sims. It has been so successful, that it inspired a host of similar games, and made many game companies aware of that sadly forgotten genre. I am referring, of course, to Championship Manager 2, that, although having quite a number of substantial failings, had managed to strike the exact spot where difficulty and frustration on one hand, and playability on the other, balance out, making it one of the true legends of PC gaming. For two whole years, in an industry where a new generation of hardware appears every 8-12 months, one game is still the established king. The soccer management games genre of PC games has a very interesting phenomenon- one game has been ruling it for over two years now.
