Once you have the game installed, you will likely need to configure DOSBox to run the game. If you don’t have a physical copy, there’s a good chance you can find a download link on most good abandonware websites… and some rubbish ones too. Of course, you will also need a copy of CM97/98, or whichever game you would like to play. The one I would recommend is DOSBox, which is available on Windows, MacOS X, Linux… you name it. If you want to run a DOS game on a modern machine, you will need to download a DOS emulator. This includes every version of CM and CM2 – from the original Championship Manager in 1992 to the eternally popular Championship Manager 97/98. Up until the late 1990s, many games were designed to run on MS-DOS, which is now long obsolete. These instructions might also work for some other video games from the 1990s and 2000s, but I’ll be focussing on the CM and FM series.ĬM97/98 OR EARLIER If you want to relive the glory days of CM97/98, then DOSBox is your friend. In this guide, I will give you some tips on how to get your old Sports Interactive games running on modern versions of Windows. Fortunately, it is still possible to play those older games on Windows 10 or 11, with a little bit of work. Technology marches on – and those classic games that were designed for Windows 95, 98 or XP may not run perfectly on newer operating systems. We’re all Football Manager lovers, aren’t we? But as much as we might enjoy the newer titles, I’m sure those of us who’ve been around for a while would love to go back in time – and re-play an older version of FM or Championship Manager.
