Tired of all the regular football titles like Madden and even NFL Blitz? I know what you've been thinking' 'if only somebody would release a football game with big headed pre-adolescent NFL stars, I would sacrifice graphics, audio, and interesting gameplay.'? Well, look no farther as Backyard Football may be what you've been waiting for. All kidding aside however, Backyard Football is geared toward 7-10 year olds who might not be looking for the ultra real, highly detailed football game.
Backyard Football is basically a highly simplified football game that can be picked up easily without having an in-depth knowledge of the sport. For instance, there are only five players on the field at one time, the plays are simple, and the rules are relaxed. It also achieves a backyard feel by taking out the referees and inserting other kids into the NFL player pool that oddly enough can have better stats than the NFL players.
Description of Backyard Football. Here is the video game “Backyard Football”! Released in 1999 on Windows, it's still available and playable with some tinkering. It's a sports game, set in a football (american) and licensed title themes. Backyard Football Legends (BETA) 82% 0. Hoops - Demo (Basketball) 83% 136. KillKay's Scoreboard.

The problems add up quickly however as the gameplay isn't exciting or overly interesting. There are a number of options to choose from but the obvious lack of depth in most areas of the game severely limits it's potential for anybody not in the target age group. Other areas don't help it either as the graphics leave much to be desired with poor textures and a lack of details. In addition, the audio is in the same boat adding little excitement to the game. Problems like the announcer's comments being noticeably spliced together to call a play continue to show a lack of refinement.
Although Backyard Football may work for a seven-year-old, few others would get much enjoyment from it. Lacking serious refinement in most areas, the 'cute'? style of gameplay wears off quickly and leaves few reasons to come back.

has anyone ran BFB 2002 successfully?
bobby2021-01-240 point
does anyone know if there's any way to save progress? ISO works great, but it 'installs' the game every single time upon bootup, so I can't do a season unless I play it all in one sitting

You don't have to use scummvm just run as administrator

Could someone who knows how to use ScummVM show me how to make this work? I downloaded what I think is the right thing but I'm not great with computer stuff, just really feeling like playing the game of my childhood.
Message me on reddit u/gmil3548 if you can help me.

The game works fine. You have to use ScummVM to play it on modern computers. Just extract the iso from the zip, then extract the contents of the ISO to a folder. Install ScummVM and point it to the folder you extracted the ISO to.

So everything runs fine but when I open the game again it wants to reinstall. Any suggestions?

Anyone have trouble with this download? I got it fired up, but once I started a game the screen would freeze on a corner of the field and nothing would happen. Had to close the game via Task Manager

I had it work fine with ScummVM, actually, so maybe there was a problem with your download? Go Bears.

Will this work with ScummVM I was unable to get this to work with Scumm. I think we need a windows version to work like with Backyard Baseball.
