Then by the time SI got its money into the game was very good and built on by SI. So enough with this EHM v FHM crap. Only difference between EHM start and FHM start is that FHM charges

Just a point of information: SI's original EHM wasn't built off of Risto's freeware EHM:2g. The freeware was programmed in V-Basic, and Riz stated that he had reached the limitations of what that software could do.
The first commercial EHM was built off of old Championship Manager code, and was originally quite terrible, to be honest. It took two more versions for the game to become somewhat polished.
In actuality, the freeware EHM was not "awful and buggy." By version 1.16, that game was as slick as you could get for a freeware game. Riz worked his ass off on that labor of love.
