Backyard Baseball '97 Now on Mobile!

Backyard Baseball '97 has made a delightful return to the gaming scene, now available on Android and published by Playground Productions. If you're nostalgic for the days spent playing on old-school computers, this game is a perfect trip down memory lane, capturing the fun and charm that made it a beloved classic.

Rediscover the Joy of the Original Backyard Baseball ‘97!

The mobile version of Backyard Baseball '97 retains the iconic charm that made it a sensation back in 1997. You'll be thrilled to assemble a team from a roster of 30 characters, including the legendary Pablo Sanchez, who remains the ultimate kid athlete!

Beyond hitting home runs, the game emphasizes style and fun with a variety of power-ups like fireball pitches and super strength, adding an extra layer of excitement to every match.

One of the standout features of Backyard Baseball '97 is its diverse game modes. Jump right into action with the random pick-up mode, or get more tactical with the single game mode. For those looking for a longer challenge, guide your team through a 14-game season, vying for the BBL playoffs and the prestigious Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series. And if you need to hone your skills, there's a batting practice mode where you can take swings against Mr. Clanky.

Touch Base!

What sets Backyard Baseball '97 apart from typical baseball games is its unique blend of professional and little league rules. You can bunt, tag up, and steal bases, but don't expect to lead off or deal with injuries. The game maintains simplicity and accessibility while still allowing for strategic play. For a more casual experience, there's a T-ball mode where you can enjoy the game without the pressure of competition.

Interestingly, Playground Productions recreated this classic without the original source code, yet they've managed to deliver a smooth and responsive experience on modern devices. The combination of quirky characters, easy-to-learn controls, and the essence of backyard sports makes Backyard Baseball '97 a must-try!

You can find the game on the Google Play Store for just $4.99.
