Backyard Baseball to Return With New Remaster Releasing Imminently

As someone who grew up in the 90s, I can’t contain my excitement about the return of the beloved Backyard Baseball! It feels like stepping back into my childhood with every pixelated detail that’s been carefully preserved in this remastered version. The fact that they managed to recreate the original game from a lost source code is nothing short of miraculous, and I can’t help but marvel at the dedication of the team at Mega Cat Studios.


The classic game “Backyard Baseball” is making its return this October in a remastered version. Around a month ago, Playground Productions revealed they’re reviving the Backyard Sports series, which was a hit among kids during the 90s and early 2000s. This collection of games included titles like “Backyard Baseball,” “Backyard Football,” “Backyard Soccer,” and many more. Now, it’s time for the game that started it all – “Backyard Baseball” – to return, marking a new beginning for the franchise.

According to a recent press statement, Playground Productions has joined forces with Mega Cat Studios to revamp the classic game, “Backyard Baseball ’97”. This updated version of the original “Backyard Baseball” game is set for release on Steam for PCs on October 10th next month, priced at $9.99. Simultaneously, a sneak peek trailer of “Backyard Baseball ’97” has been unveiled and can be found below.

The unexpected aspect of the latest revival of Backyard Baseball is that the game’s original code got lost following its debut in 1997. This has made the idea of re-releasing or enhancing the game challenging over time. However, Playground Productions claims that Mega Cat managed an almost unattainable feat by cracking the original CD-ROM and creating new versions suitable for modern PCs. As a result, Backyard Baseball ’97 is currently exclusive to PC, though a launch on other systems in the future isn’t entirely out of the question.

Hey there fellow gamers! Exciting times ahead as Playground Productions has reiterated their commitment to the future of our beloved Backyard Sports franchise. This implies they’re cooking up some fresh, brand-new games for us to enjoy. On top of that, our CEO Lindsay Barnett shared a heartfelt sentiment about preserving our gaming history. So, get ready, because it looks like classic titles such as Backyard Football, Backyard Soccer, and Backyard Basketball might be getting a modern makeover soon! Keep your fingers crossed for some remasters that could potentially drop in the coming months or years. Can’t wait to jump back into those nostalgic yards with you all!
