Revived by Mega Cat Studios, Backyard Football '99 puts a fresh spin on American football while staying true to the Backyard Sports formula. Don't underestimate these amateur players - with depth rivaling professional simulations like Madden, you'll experience surprisingly sophisticated gameplay right in your backyard.
The game brings extra excitement with special guest players. Football legends including Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, and Jerry Rice make appearances - transformed into their childhood selves, these mini versions of NFL stars add delightful surprises to every match.
Touchdown Achieved!
