Backyard Baseball '97 Now Available on Mobile!

Backyard Baseball '97 has made a delightful comeback on Android, brought to you by Playground Productions. If you're nostalgic for those childhood days spent playing on old-school computers, this game is a charming trip down memory lane.

Rediscover the Joy of the Original Backyard Baseball '97!

The mobile version retains the beloved charm that made the original a classic in 1997. You'll have a roster of 30 characters at your disposal, featuring the iconic Pablo Sanchez, who's still the MVP among these pint-sized athletes.

Beyond just hitting baseballs, the game lets you do it with flair thanks to power-ups like fireball pitches and super strength, giving you the edge to outplay your opponents.

One of the highlights of Backyard Baseball '97 is its diverse range of game modes. Jump right into the action with the random pick-up mode, or engage more strategically with the single game mode. For those looking for a longer challenge, guide your team through a 14-game season, striving for the BBL playoffs and the grand prize of the Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series. Additionally, there's a batting practice mode where you can hone your skills against Mr. Clanky.

Touch Base!

What sets Backyard Baseball '97 apart from other baseball games is its unique blend of professional and little league rules. You can bunt, tag up, and steal bases, but forget about leading off or worrying about injuries.

The game strikes a balance between simplicity and strategic depth, making it accessible yet engaging. There's also a T-ball mode for those who just want to enjoy the game without the competitive pressure.

Interestingly, Playground Productions didn't have access to the original source code, yet they've successfully recreated a smooth and responsive experience on modern devices. The combination of quirky characters, easy-to-use controls, and the essence of backyard sports makes this game a must-try.

You can grab Backyard Baseball '97 on the Google Play Store for just $4.99.
