Used to play this all the time back in the day. I’ve always considered it the best video game. 

Just need to post twice so I can download. I remember the first Front Page football game had Joe Dakota instead of Joe Montana for the Chiefs,

People there is also the option of doing retro builds and installing OSes that MS no longer supports.  It is not expensive to put a good retro pc together.  Like I said in another post watch Phils Computer Lab on YouTube and you will find some interesting things.  I know I am going to be putting the final touches on a few retro builds in 2020 and look forward to playing classics like you mentioned OP.

Hello fellas! I'm new on the forum and I'm interested in playing the Front Page Sports Football Pro 98. I have heard about the VPNFL files but don't know much about them. Are these files made for a specific league or are they NFL files that can be used for season replays? Are there league files for different seasons? Also, are there league files for different leagues, such as the XFL? Also, what VPNFL files would you say are essential to download and in what order for the game to work correctly Thanks in advance.

I'm so excited I found this community to try to get this game working on Windows 10. I'm a football fanatic, love games with franchise depth. Played Madden for so many years and just came to an end. It just doesn't do it for me anymore. The bugs and game play just rub me the wrong way. So, here I go back in time to get my football fix.

I can mount the ISO but when I try to run it to install the game. I right click and run at administrator but  the installer never launches

I am trying to run FPSPro98 on my Win 10 computer.

 

I am having a problem with a frozen / no mouse cursor visible when in the edit plans/profiles screens and also the play editor screen.  I then cannot proceed further.

The only way is to use the escape key to exit the screens and then the game. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a cure / workaround?

Is there a known resolution to this issue?  Having the same problem.

Go to the setup.ini file. 

Hopefully youll see this.  Im having the same problem with the play editor and gameplan screens.

It works just fine when I have the settings in the game set to "window" but then the screen is small.

When I set it to "full screen" the game looks and plays fine, except the gameplan editing area.

Ive sound both the SETUP and SIERRA ini files, but I dont know what I supposed to do with them.

Also....please be sure to be clear on what Im supposed to have in the game settings and then in these ini files.

I wish you had the original FPS Football.  92 or 93?  No NFL all made up.  Loved the ability of making my own plays, and being the coach.  Call the plays/manage the roster with no control over the actual players.  I still have the old floppy disks but no way to get them on my modern computer let alone run them

Anyway.  So I downloaded and was able to run 98.  Am I missing something on setting up plays/playbook? Not sure how to edit them in this game.

Also random....Not related to FPS 98...but did anyone ever play Quickhit Football?  That was awesome.  I don't need graphics, and not a million variable as long as the sim is decent.  I miss that game as well.

I remember playing it so much when I was a kid. It was the only game my dad let me install on his old Thinkpad laptop. The bulky one with the red nipple mouse

Looking forward to giving it a try. I got FPS Football Pro 95 up and running but have only messed around with keyboard controls, which are not very intuitive. Wondering if it will work if I connected my Xbox controller . . . but rather than worry about that right now, I'm hoping to instead jump into FPS Fb Pro '98. I remember that there was a lot of controversy around that edition when it launched (and I think was recalled) . . . so I never ended up spending any time with it. Looking forward to giving it a go with the patch now.
