The biggest totally free game fix & trainer library online for PC Games https://gamecopyworld.com. Dec 02, 2014  If Backyard Baseball and Backyard Soccer were re-released on Steam, would you buy them? I asked the group that currently owns the Backyard Sports franchise rights, The Evergreen Group, if they would re-release any of the Backyard Sports franchise. Backyard Soccer (1998) Backyard Football (1999) Big Thinkers! First Grade (1997) Spy Fox in 'Dry Cereal' (1997) Freddi Fish: The Case of the Stolen Conch Shell (1998) Full Throttle (1995) Putt-Putt Joins the Circus (2000) Putt-Putt and Pep's Balloon-o-Rama (1996) Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle (1993) Putt-Putt Joins the Parade (1992).

Backyard Baseball, geared towards kids 5-12 (or older), puts a cute face on America’s all-time favorite pastime – baseball. This kid-centric title from Humongous features simple gameplay, nice cartoony animations and plenty of bright colors to go with them.

Players choose their favorite players, create a team and play a season. Characters all have their own personalities that you must factor in, divided into four categories. What sets this game apart from other baseball games is that it offers a variety of Power Ups including super pitches and hitting techniques as well as special items like the aluminum bat (which allows players to hit harder and farther). In any case, the controls are simple enough that pretty much anyone can learn it, and the game also offers difficulty levels for better players to keep the challenge going.

System Requirements: Pentium 133 MHz, 32 MB RAM, Win95

Inspired by an article by Zach Kram at the Ringer last year, Bobby and Alex take a deep dive into the history of “Backyard Baseball,” the kids-video-game-turned-cult-classic that they grew up with. They bring on Nick Mirkovich, one of the game’s co-creators, to talk about the game’s inception and its evolution through the years, and speculate on why the game remains so firmly embedded in the minds of this generation. They dive into the colorful personalities of each character and reminisce on what made the game so special in the first place. It’s a full-on nostalgia sesh, featuring real gameplay and cameos from Sunny Day, Vinnie the Gooch, and the one and only Pablo Sanchez.
