Meanwhile, the original developers adopted the name of original soccer management sim Football Manager, no longer owned by Acclaim or Kevin Toms (who has since released Football Star Manager) for mobile and desktop. Consequently, there was a short-term overlap, as Eidos released a series of games called Championship Manager that were unrelated to the pre-2005 games. Prior to 2005, the developers split with their publishers, taking the game with them. If you weren’t already aware, the Football Manager series as owned by SEGA started life as Championship Manager, from Eidos. Championship Manager or Football Manager? I also have a third reason: the Ubuntu laptop is the only one I own that has a DVD-ROM drive. If I can run Championship Manager 99/00 on my Ubuntu 22.04 laptop, I can probably run it on my Steam Deck. However, my other reason is more interesting. Running 32-bit software is a challenge, expecially software intended for Windows 98. To start off with, most Windows computers – my own laptop included – are 64-bit computers. Obviously it makes more sense to attempt running CM99/00 on a Windows computer, right? In fact, just the other day I found some old save games and tactic files, and thought to myself: what if I could get that old game running on my Ubuntu laptop? Why Ubuntu and not Windows? Before Football Manager descended into micromanagement hell, I was a huge fan of the series, particularly Championship Manager 99/00.
