Here are the list of games that I have purchased through the years either Starters Orders and/or Greyhound Manager and in my ranking from no.1 downwards and my reason why.

1) Starters Orders 3. Best of the bunch because I have such a brilliant bloodline going and I cannot let go, my partner plays this as well and she loves it. The graphics might be better on SO4 but this is my GEM!!

2) Greyhound Manager 1. My reason is because I play this more than SO4 but nowhere near as much as SO3, I don't have GM2. Best greyhound game on the market in my view, still might purchase number 2 but I have been hearing some niggles about that game so might wait for 3, still undecided

3) Starters Orders 4. A good game but to me not as great as 3, maybe it's because of the bloodlines that I have in 3, I think what it is is that I feel like it's starting all over again and I cannot motivate myself into doing that...hope I can for 5, this is the reason why I think backwards compatability is a defo for the future releases of Starters Orders, I know Mark said that he his looking into this for the future.

4) Startes Orders 2. Now deleted from my laptop because of SO3. I had a good bloodline with this game and moved with ease to number 3 because of the introduction of jumps, had SO3 been solely a game based around the flat and SO4 the first game introducing the jumps side then the move from 3 to 4 would have been easier.

5) John McCririck Starters Orders. Have on original disc, played a few times but not in the league of the above games.

That is my list and my reasons for the love of these games from the genius that is Mark Loveday.
