Football Glory

Football Glory is a video game in the sports genre developed by Croteam and published by Black Legend Ltd. originally released in 1995. It is currently playable on DOS, Amiga.

Football Glory is an interesting clone of Sensible Soccer that falls far short of that classic due to bland gameplay and poor controls.

The game offers many options, from the World Cup to European championships to national leagues. You can even edit your own club and create your own leagues/cups with as many teams as you want and play against the computer or your friends. Developer Croteam set out at the time to challenge the then mighty Sensible Soccer with proven gameplay improvements such as bicycle kicks, back touch and many other features. However, it is in the humor department where Football Glory triumphs, with many amusing features, such as the ability to get sent off and hit the referee, the appearance of streakers(!) during the match, and stretcher-bearers rushing to carry away injured players. The game's humor, while making it very unique and engaging, cannot save it from poor controls and gameplay: the computer's AI is very poor, as it will choose strange strategies that will lead to easy victories. Still, Football Glory is a good choice if you don't want to spend years mastering a soccer game, or want an easy challenge. Unfortunately, because Sensible Software threatened to take legal action over copyright, Football Glory was never developed.

Note: In 1998 Croteam released Football Glory as freeware, to the joy of soccer fans around the world. However, their server is very slow, so don't hesitate to download it from this site:).

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
