Backyard Football is an American football video game developed and published by Humongous Entertainment. It is the third installment of the Backyard Sports franchise, the first installment of the Backyard Football series, and the first Backyard Sports title to include teams from a major league and real-life sports players, which would become a tradition for almost every other Backyard Sports game to follow. Backyard Football was released for Microsoft Windows and Mac via a hybrid CD-ROM on October 28, 1999.[1] The game was followed up by various sequels and a re-release of Backyard Football, retitled as Backyard Football '99, is planned to launch on Steam in the future.[2] Steve Young appears on the game's cover of the original release, redrawn as a kid.
