About Backyard Football '99
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.
