PC Fútbol 5.0
DOSSports management
PC Fútbol 5.0 is a Spanish football management simulation developed and published by Dinamic Multimedia for DOS in 1996. It combines club administration, squad building, tactical planning, competition simulation, and optional match play in one package. The player can manage sporting and financial decisions across a football season, balancing results, transfers, contracts, training, and club resources. Its broad feature set made it a notable entry in the popular PC Fútbol line, especially in Spain, where the series had a strong following. The game is primarily menu-driven, with statistics and management screens forming the core experience rather than real-time action.
PC Fútbol 4.0
DOSSports management
PC Fútbol 4.0 is a football management and simulation game developed and published by Dinamic Multimedia for DOS. It combines the administrative work of running a club with the option to follow or play match simulations. The player manages a squad, selects tactics, handles transfers, and attempts to improve sporting results over a season. As the fourth main edition of the PC Fútbol series, it expanded the established management formula used by its predecessors. The game was especially recognized in Spain for its broad football database, accessible interface, and mixture of strategic planning and match presentation. Its emphasis is on long-term club decisions rather than arcade-style action.
PC Fútbol 3.0
DOSSports
PC Fútbol 3.0 is a football-management simulation developed and published by Dinamic Multimedia for DOS. Rather than focusing on direct action, it places the player in charge of a club, including team selection, tactics, finances, transfers, and competition planning. The game combines administrative screens with simulated matches and a large statistical database for its era. It was part of the influential Spanish PC Fútbol series and helped establish the franchise as a major football-management brand in Spain during the 1990s. Its appeal rests on the breadth of its management options and its season-focused play style.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
