![]() An indoor soccer version of Football Glory, titled Five-A-Side Soccer, was completed in 1995 and designed for the Amiga 500, 1200, and 4000 systems. ![]() Sensible Software, the developer of Sensible Soccer, soon threatened with legal action, wherefore Croteam ceased all development on Football Glory. The company subsequently created an MS-DOS version of the game, which was released in May 1995. The game was released on 6 November 1994 for the 500, 12 models of the Amiga. During this time, the Croteam staff was expanded with Admir Elezović, Alen Ladavac, Tomislav Pongrac, and Marko Sekulić. The game, Football Glory, entered production in late 1993 and was completed in October 1994. ![]() Having finished that project, the team decided to create a association football game, which later became a clone of Sensible Soccer. Ĭroteam's first game was a clone of Sokoban, created to demonstrate that the team could successfully complete a game. Croteam later rented office space from the Brodarski institut. Several Croteam employees, including Hunski, were drafted for one-year military conscriptions. Other team members, such as Sekulić, worked from home and shared source code with the others by exchanging floppy disks. Both rent and hardware were financed by the parents of various employees. The company initially operated out of Ribarić's apartment in Utrina and later rented an office in the building where Hunski resided with his mother. Personal computers, such as the Amiga, were expensive at the time, wherefore the team acquired hardware from grey market, duty-free shops. In late August 1992, while studying at separate universities, Hunski and Ribarić teamed up with Perović and Sekulić to found Croteam. After Hunski and Ribarić learned that the developer made a profit with his endeavour, they decided to develop games for a living. The brother of another classmate was the first Croat to release a commercial video game. All four were in Neli Mindoljević's class during their four-year tenure at the "Nikola Tesla" high school in Zagreb, graduating as part of the school's last generation in 1991. Perović and Sekulić came from the neighbouring Sloboština and Sopot, respectively. Hunski and Ribarić were born and raised in the Utrina neighbourhood of Zagreb and initially met around age 6 at the "Mladost" primary school, which they attended for eight years.
