About
Elifoot 98 is a football management game originally released in 1998; it was distributed as shareware, giving free access with limited functionality, as stated on the game's own startup screen. Elifoot 98 Online runs the original Elifoot 98 DOS game inside the browser via js-dos MS-DOS virtualization, rather than reimplementing its logic, letting it run on modern systems and phones without installing extensions or a separate emulator. It's built with Ionic for structure and mobile responsiveness and uses JSZip to let players export their save files. It's presented as a non-profit fan preservation project that respects the original's copyright.
How it differs from the original
Unlike the original standalone DOS executable, this runs the unmodified game through in-browser DOS virtualization, adding mobile-responsive UI and browser-based save export rather than native file saves.
Getting started
Most players can just open the project's live hosted version in a browser. Developers who want to run it locally need Node.js 16 or newer, then install dependencies and start the development server, which serves the app at localhost:4200.
