Croteam's first game, Football Glory on the Amiga, looked a LOT like Sensible Soccer -- however it add quite a few new techniques and a lot of chaos into the mix. Here's a big look at the game as well as publishers Black Legend, and how it all led up to a certain PC classic named Serious Sam. Enjoy!
