'''''Football Glory''''' is a 1994 football video game developed by Croteam and published by Black Legend. One or two players compete in football matches viewed from a top-down perspective and modelled after one of six leagues and cups. The players can perform various moves, including tackles and bicycle kicks, and view instant replays of highlights. The pitch is occasionally invaded by dogs, streakers, hooligans, and police.

''Football Glory'' was Croteam's debut game, with the development commencing in April 1993. The core team of six people worked from Zagreb with London-based Richard M. Holmes of Black Legend after the publisher signed with Croteam in 1994. The team took inspiration from past World Cup matches, primarily those of the Brazil national football team. ''Football Glory'' was released for the Amiga in November 1994 as the first commercial game developed by a Croatian studio. It was followed by a port for MS-DOS in May 1995 and a budget Amiga release later that year.

''Football Glory'' was frequently compared to ''Sensible Soccer'' and noted for its expanded move set. The game's audio and visuals were well received, while interruptions by lengthy animations and some technical issues were criticised. ''Sensible Soccer'' developer Sensible Software considered ''Football Glory'' a clone and threatened Croteam with legal action, causing ''Football Glory'' to be temporarily taken off sale. Croteam released the game as freeware in 1998. The studio finished a five-a-side football successor (known by various names, including ''Five-A-Side Soccer'' and ''Football Glory Indoors'') in 1995, which was released by Black Legend's German branch in 1996 and by Croteam as public-domain software in March 2000.

The players can perform tackles, bicycle kicks, volleys, one–two passes, diving headers, and aftertouches, jump over ("ride") opposing characters' tackles, and execute speed bursts.<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" /><ref name="Amiga Format 67" /> Tapping the shoot button makes a character pass the ball; holding it down longer strengthens the pass and eventually turns it into a shot.<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" /> Goals are celebrated by the characters and sometimes by fans, who throw fireworks onto the pitch.<ref name="PC Games 10" /> Highlights—including goals and injuries—evoke commentary and reactions from other characters via speech bubbles.<ref name="Amiga Action 64" /><ref name="CU Amiga 57: Review" /><ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" /> Instant replays displayed in a picture-in-picture window show the last few seconds leading up to these events.<ref name="The One 74" /><ref name="Amiga Action 77" /> In the Amiga version on systems with the Amiga Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA), this replay runs simultaneous to the gameplay.<ref name="Amiga Action 64" /> In the case of injuries, the game is interrupted by the team's coach and, for severe injuries, paramedics, who take away the injured character on a stretcher.<ref name="Amiga Action 64" /> If a player disagrees with a refereeing decision, they can chase down and argue with the referee.<ref name="Red Bull: crazy" /> Dogs, streakers, and hooligans occasionally interrupt the game, the latter two in pursuit by police.<ref name="Red Bull: crazy" /><ref name="Amiga Action 64" /> Whole matches can be saved and, upon review, replayed from any point.<ref name="Amiga Action 64" />

== Development and release == ''Football Glory'' was the debut game by Croteam, a Croatian development studio based in Zagreb.<ref name="Retro Gamer 197" /> The production began in April 1993 and the core development team was composed of the programmers Alen Ladavac, Admir Elezović, and Damir Perović, the artists Tomislav Pongrac, Tomislav Mučić, and Elezović, as well as the musician and sound designer Marko Sekulić.<ref name="The One 72" /> Croteam and Black Legend signed a publishing agreement for the game in 1994.<ref name="Retro Gamer 197" /> The developer then formed part of the larger Black Legend Croatia, which comprised forty people.<ref name="Amiga Action 63" /> Black Legend's founder and director, Richard M. Holmes, oversaw the production from London. He talked with Croteam throughout each day, repeatedly making decisions for ten minutes and then sleeping for the next fifty. According to him, the intent was to create "a fun football game that was better than ''MicroProse Soccer''{{-"}}.<ref name="Retro Gamer 197" />

The development team watched several past World Cup games, especially those by the Brazil national football team, to take notes on possible moves. To differentiate ''Football Glory'' from other football games, each move was animated with eight to ten frames per second instead of the common two or three frames. Extras like the paramedics with stretchers were also fully animated. When questioned regarding the similarity of ''Football Glory'' to ''Sensible Soccer'', Holmes claimed that "the programmer himself has never ever played ''Sensible Soccer''{{-"}} and that the games only appeared similar because the character sprites in both games were 16×16 pixels in size.<ref name="The One 72" />

''Football Glory'' was completed for various Amiga systems in October 1994.<ref name="Croteam: 1998 About" /> It was released compatible with the 500, 1200, and 4000 Amiga models on 6 November 1994.<ref name="Croteam: 1998 About" /><ref name="Croteam: 1998 Games" /> This marked the first commercial release of a video game developed by a Croatian studio.<ref name="GIbiz: VR-only" /> A demo was included exclusively on the coverdisk of ''CU Amiga''{{'}}s November 1994 issue.<ref name="CU Amiga 57: Review" /><ref name="CU Amiga 57: Coverdisk" /> An MS-DOS conversion was scheduled for release in February 1995.<ref name="PC Games 6" /> It was completed six months after the Amiga version's release and published in May 1995.<ref name="Croteam: 1998 About" /><ref name="Croteam: 1998 Games" /> A budget Amiga release was published by The Hit Squad in late 1995.<ref name="Amiga Action 77" /><ref name="Amiga Power 54" />

Matt Broughton of ''The One'' noted that the realism of ''Football Glory''{{'}}s physics, especially in respect to the ball's ricocheting, exceeded that of ''Sensible Soccer''.<ref name="The One 72" /> Paul Roundell, in his reviews for ''Amiga Action'', stated that ''Football Glory'' played similar to ''Sensible Soccer'' apart from the additional moves in ''Football Glory'', which he lauded.<ref name="Amiga Action 64" /><ref name="Amiga Action 77" /> This was echoed by Steve McGill of ''Amiga Format'', who felt that the new moves gave ''Football Glory'' and advantage over ''Sensible Soccer'',<ref name="Amiga Format 67" /> Paul Mellerick of ''Amiga Power'', who called the bicycle kicks "spectacular",<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" /> and Tony Dillon of ''CU Amiga'', who considered the moves "incredible".<ref name="CU Amiga 57: Review" /> However, Mellerick also noted that most of these moves were rarely executable due to insufficient time within a match.<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" /> ''The One''{{'}}s Simon Byron further cited an overly complicated control scheme.<ref name="The One 73" />

McGill lamented that ''Football Glory'' featured fewer modes, team formations, and pitches than ''Sensible Soccer'' or ''Sensible World of Soccer''. He faulted cluttered menus for giving the game an unpolished feel and regarded the adjustable, coloured backgrounds available on AGA models as a "waste of space" that could have been used for other features.<ref name="Amiga Format 67" /> Dillon remarked that ''Football Glory'' excelled in terms of graphics due its many animations.<ref name="CU Amiga 57: Review" /> In contrast, Byron considered the animations for extras "pointless", "downright annoying" and (at up to thirty seconds in length) a disruption of the game's flow.<ref name="The One 73" /> The latter was also observed by Dean Evans, who reviewed the game for ''PC Games'' and ''PC Review''.<ref name="PC Games 10" /><ref name="PC Review 43" /> Dillon praised the game's audio, especially the reverberation added to the referee's whistle, which he thought added realism.<ref name="CU Amiga 57: Review" /> Mellerick noted that the game had poorer sound and performance on the Amiga 500.<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" />

Mellerick criticised the game's pass system, in which a ball would reach a teammate almost instantly, as unrealistic.<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" /> He and Evans regarded the aftertouch as excessive and poorly implemented.<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" /><ref name="PC Games 10" /> Additionally, Mellerick reproved the game's AI, which only appeared either extremely skilled or not skilled at all.<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" /> Patrick McCarthy of ''PC Zone'' faulted the game for not properly applying AI to the player's teammates while not being controlled.<ref name="PC Zone 26" /> Mellerick and Evans concurred that ''Football Glory'' was not as good as ''Sensible Soccer'', likening it to "yet another kickabout-in-the-park when compared to the Wembley Stadium of ''Sensible Soccer''" and "[not] half the game that [''Sensible Soccer''] is", respectively.<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Review" /><ref name="PC Review 43" /> When Mellerick reviewed ''Football Glory'' again for its budget release, he also found that it had not aged well.<ref name="Amiga Power 54" /> Contrarily, Dillon exclaimed that ''Football Glory'' was "the best arcade soccer game ever" and superior to ''Sensible Soccer''.<ref name="CU Amiga 57: Review" />

=== Sales === According to HMV, ''Football Glory'' was the third-best-selling Amiga game in January 1995,<ref name="The One 75" /> the fifth-best in February,<ref name="The One 76" /> and the tenth-best in April.<ref name="The One 78" /> The European Leisure Software Publishers Association ranked it second in January 1995,<ref name="Amiga Power 45: Charts" /> sixth in February,<ref name="Amiga Power 46" /> fourteenth in March,<ref name="Amiga Power 47" /> tenth in April,<ref name="Amiga Power 48" /> sixteenth in May,<ref name="Amiga Power 49" /> eleventh in June,<ref name="Amiga Power 50" /> and fifteenth in July.<ref name="Amiga Power 51" />

== Legacy == Based on the success of ''Football Glory'' and ''Embryo'' (which Croteam contributed to), Paul McNally of ''Amiga Action'' named Croteam as Black Legend's most famous development team.<ref name="Amiga Action 71" /> In December 1994, Sensible Software, the developer of ''Sensible Soccer'', accused ''Football Glory'' of being a clone. The company's Jon Hare explained that "It's trying to trade on our success. We've got a problem with it." Duncan Lothian of Black Legend defended the game and remarked that Sensible Software's accusations were proof that "''Football Glory'' is frightening the opposition".<ref name="The One 74" /> After Sensible Software threatened Croteam with legal action, ''Football Glory'' was removed from sale.<ref name="PCMag: Serious Sam" /> Although the game survived Sensible Software's move, it did not recover from its time off-sale and Croteam released it as freeware in 1998.<ref name="Retro Gamer 169" /> When a demo for one of Croteam's later games, ''Serious Sam: The First Encounter'', attained much popularity after its release in mid-2000, ''Football Glory'' was downloaded from Croteam's website more than one thousand times within a few days.<ref name="PC Chip: Zagreb" /> According to Holmes, Black Legend decided against producing another football game so it did not repeatedly release similar products akin to the ''FIFA'' series. He later cited this as a possible mistake.<ref name="Retro Gamer 197" />

A successor to ''Football Glory'' featuring five-a-side football was in development by December 1994. There had been no such game before because this variant's walls had been difficult to implement and Holmes claimed that this had been worked out.<ref name="Amiga Action 64" /> The game was variously known as ''Football Glory Indoor Edition'',<ref name="Amiga Action 64" /> ''Football Glory Indoors'',<ref name="The One 84" /> ''Indoor Football Glory'',<ref name="Retro Gamer 197" /> ''Five-A-Side Soccer'',<ref name="HCL: Retro Dose" /> and ''5-A-Side Soccer'',<ref name="Croteam: 2001 About" /> as well as ''Fußball Total Indoors'' in Germany.<ref name="ASM 12" /> It was initially scheduled to be released in early 1995.<ref name="Amiga Action 64" /> This was later delayed to either the Christmas period of 1995 or January 1996.<ref name="Amiga Power 53" /> Croteam completed the game in 1995 for the 500, 1200, and 4000 Amiga models.<ref name="HCL: Retro Dose" /><ref name="Croteam: 2001 About" /> Black Legend exhibited it at the 1995 and 1996 editions of the European Computer Trade Show.<ref name="Amiga Joker 5/95" /><ref name="Amiga Joker 6/7'96" /> The company was set to publish the game until its parent company shut it down in 1996 due to a declining Amiga games market.<ref name="Retro Gamer 197" /> The publisher's German office still released the game before being dissolved in July 1996.<ref name="Retro Gamer 197" /><ref name="Amiga Joker 8/9'96" /> Attempts to sell the game to distributors like Schatztruhe failed.<ref name="Amiga Joker 8/9'96" /> Croteam released the game as public-domain software in March 2000.<ref name="Croteam: 2001 About" />
