SAAP for Windows   (Midnight Oil)	Frequently updated
In the September SAAP newsletter we read:  "With SAAP 1.20, the Supremo series of games, generally thought of   as the most comprehensive games for DOS, have  now been surpassed by a superior product. SAAP 1.20 not only has every  single feature of Supremo 99, has superior edit and customisation programs  but also has a "career" feature that extends the gameplay well beyond  Supremo 99 and, I believe, all other soccer management games. Sick As A  Parrot 1.20 is the first of a new series of Windows based games that will  eventually produce a game beyond anything most SMGers have ever imagined."
