Backyard Football '99
Backyard Football 1999, the classic title now enhanced to run on modern systems. Whether you're picking your dream team, running Pete Wheeler on a sweep lining up to hit the game winning field goal, or enjoying the witty banter of hosts Sunny Day and Chuck Downfield, simple controls let anyone pick up and play ball!
- Single Game: Players can play a single game in a single or two player setting. Rosters can be imported from season play, or they can be picked new, or completely randomized. Players may pick between five fields and three weather conditions to play with.
- Season Mode: Players can draft seven Backyard players into a team and compete against 15 other teams in the Backyard Football League. Each team plays a 14-game season: six times within their division, four times against the other division and four times against the other conference. By the end of the regular season, the 4 division champions plus four wild card teams enter the Backyard Football League Playoffs, with each Conference finalist competing for the Super Colossal Cereal Bowl (the final championship game).
Compete globally! Steam's Leaderboard system lets you compete with friends and players around the world. See how you stack up and strive to reach the top! Earn power-ups by completing passes on offense and sacking the opposing QB on defense.
Offensive
- Hocus Pocus – pass play which results in a receiver teleporting downfield, preferably to the open field
- Sonic Boom – a run play that disables the opponents' players from moving for a short time
- Leap Frog – a run play, which causes your running back to leap downfield for several yards
- Super Punt – punt which automatically punts to the opponent's 20-yard line
Defensive
- Cough Drop – causes the opponent to fumble when tackled
- Chameleon – causes the team to replicate the uniform colors of the other team
- Spring-Loaded – causes the linebacker to leap over the line of scrimmage
