HUDDLE UP FOR BACKYARD FOOTBALL Backyard Football 1999 is now enhanced to run on modern systems. Whether you're picking Jerry Rice or Barry Sanders for your dream team, rushing with Pete Wheeler, scoring touchdowns with Pablo Sanchez, or enjoying the witty banter of hosts Sunny Day and Chuck Downfield, simple controls let anyone pick up and play football! GAME MODES Single Game: With 5 backyard fields and unique weather condition settings, players can pick their team, design their team logos, and play a pick-up game! Season Mode: Players can draft seven players from the 30 iconic Backyard Sports characters and a collection of legendary pros including Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, John Elway, Dan Marino, Randall Cunningham, Drew Bledsoe and Steve Young to compete against 15 other teams in the Backyard Football League. Each team plays a 14-game season. By the end of the regular season, the 4 division champions and 4 wild card teams enter the Backyard Football League Playoffs to compete for the Super Colossal Cereal Bowl! EARN CLASSIC POWER UPS Earn power-ups by completing passes on offense and sacking the opposing QB on defense. Offensive • Hocus Pocus – A pass play which results in a receiver teleporting down field. • Sonic Boom – A run play which causes an earthquake to knock over the opposing team. • Leap Frog – A run play which causes your running back to leap down field. • Super Punt – A very powerful punt! Defensive • Cough Drop – A play that causes the opponent to fumble when tackled. • Chameleon – A trick play that results in your team wearing the other team's colors for ultimate confusion. • Spring Loaded – A play that causes your player to leap over the line of scrimmage to sack the QB. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION At our core, we are fans first – not just of video games, but of the Backyard Sports franchise. Fans have asked for accessible and legal ways to play their original Backyard titles for years, and we are excited to deliver. Without having access to the source code, there are hard limitations on the experience we can create. However, Backyard Football ‘99 runs well, looks better than ever, and creates a new installation for digital preservation within the Backyard Sports catalog that allows the next generation of fans to fall in love with the game.

Mouse control added FINALLY

I am very excited that they added mouse control so I can actually use the Magic Keyboard mouse and see where the cursor is. The reason it is not 5 is because the cursor is still missing everywhere but the actual plays (the clubhouse and playbook the cursor is missing), but the game plays very similarly to how I remember from back when, and will revisit the review if the cursor gets added so that it shows everywhere, not just on the field.

Nostalgia overload, clunky controls

I have to give this 5 stars because of the immediate nostalgia playing this game. Steve Young throwing to Pablo Sanchez again, what more could you want?The controls are a bit clunky. Especially for quarterback runs. It’s very easy to accidentally throw the ball when trying to cut up field. You have to tap behind the line of scrimmage and then drag. But this means your hand will be obscuring the screen. It’s doable, but I had to practice for a bit to get the hang of it. In general, the idea of tapping where to run off leads to your hand obscuring the screen quite often. This game would probably benefit from a joystick style of controls, at least as an option. Compared to a game like retro bowl, the gameplay will never live up to that. However, I didn’t download this game expecting modern fast paced gameplay I downloaded it for nostalgia’s sake. And in that way it delivers. I doubt I’ll play this much beyond one season though.

I just picked up the new Backyard Football and I’m glad to say it’s every bit as fun as I remembered. The gameplay is smooth, easy to jump into, and full of those classic 5-on-5 plays and power-ups that make every game exciting.What I love most is how much my kids enjoy it. They picked it up right away and now we’re all playing together. It’s simple enough for them to have fun, but still competitive enough to keep me engaged too. The new fictional teams add a fun twist, and it feels like the perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh energy.If you’re looking for a game that’s family-friendly, easy to play, and just plain fun, this one is a winner. Backyard Football really proves that some classics never lose their magic.

I found backyard baseball from dude perfect gaming and loved it then I found out that the playground productions team made a football game and got it right away. this game is amazing and very funny though I have some suggestions like replace chuck downfield with Vinny the gooch at least for pick up games and I think you should make it easier to control the halfback because you can’t control him well until he’s past the line of scrimmage making it hard to dodge tackles but all in all just an amazing game keep up the good work playground productions team!
