Playground Productions will release Backyard Football '99 on Sep. 9 for PC, iOS, and Android. Fans can pre-register on mobile stores and add the title to their Steam wishlist. The launch continues Playground's modernization program that previously brought Backyard Baseball '97 and '01 and Backyard Soccer '98 to current platforms. Mega Cat Studios developed the remastered Backyard Football '99. Licensing secured many original athletes, including Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Drew Bledsoe, Jerry Rice, John Elway, Randall Cunningham, and Steve Young. The game supports solo and two-player matches, offers single matches and a season mode, and includes a global leaderboard.
The launch will continue Playground's successful modernization program of the nostalgia-filled sports games, which already brought Backyard Baseball '97 and '01 as well as Backyard Soccer '98 to today's platforms. Like its predecessors, the remastered version of Backyard Football '99 was developed by Mega Cat Studios. As was the case with previous re-releases, Playground was able to license many of the original athletes involved in the game.
For Backyard Football '99, fans can look forward to seeing pros such as Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Drew Bledsoe, Jerry Rice, John Elway, Randall Cunningham and Steve Young back in action. "Backyard Sports holds a special place in the hearts of sports fans," Sanders commented in a release. "Joining Backyard Football in 1999 was a great honor, and I'm excited to celebrate its relaunch for fans old and new."
