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."
