| Original IAG Game - pre-reset
It was 20 years ago round about now, that I first started playing It's A Goal.
From what I remember, there were several hundred leagues and you could have more than one team as long as it wasn't in the same league (I think I ended up with five teams).
I remember there were a lot of quality players & I think there may have been free players too. It was a little too easy to get to the top of your league in general, so when the game was given a make-over, it became more challenging.
The leagues were given names. I was in Axe, which later became Axis when Axe merged with Anubis.
What do you remember of the original game? It might jog my memory... haha. | |

| Leagues were Hammer, Neon, Trapdoor, Hermes, Anubis, Python, Minerva, Discus, Fortress, Aqua, Tigershark, Tornado, Axe, Copper, Cyclone, Aristotle, Eros, Manta. | |
|
| I remember in the original game that it was dead easy to negotiate a contract. All you had to do was keep in increasing your offer by one until he accepted, and you could achieve it all on the same day. | |

You've got 18 right there Rusty but there were 22 leagues in the original IAG2 split into 2 databases | |

Yes, there were no leagues in IAG1 just about 500 (in the end) divisions in a ladder syatem.
There was a 'one manager, one team' rule in at the start but when IAG2 was being developed, IAG1 went unmoderated. I had 5 teams by the time it was switched off. | |

| I was in league 300 and something in the original IAG
It was easy to win a league, but would have taken me 15 years to reach the top! Hence, was very relieved to have the new IAG and ended up in Fortress
I did love the free transfers you occasionally got in the original though. | |

I did love the free transfers you occasionally got in the original though. I remember calculating the same sort of time span as that. However, I stuck around in IAG1 until it stopped, and right near the end managed to move to Division 2 from about 187. | |
