About Backyard Football '99

HUDDLE UP FOR BACKYARD FOOTBALL Backyard Football 1999 is now enhanced to run on modern systems. Whether you're picking Jerry Rice or Barry Sanders for your dream team, rushing with Pete Wheeler, scoring touchdowns with Pablo Sanchez, or enjoying the witty banter of hosts Sunny Day and Chuck Downfield, simple controls let anyone pick up and play football! GAME MODES Single Game: With 5 backyard fields and unique weather condition settings, players can pick their team, design their team logos, and play a pick-up game! Season Mode: Players can draft seven players from the 30 iconic Backyard Sports characters and a collection of legendary pros including Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, John Elway, Dan Marino, Randall Cunningham, Drew Bledsoe and Steve Young to compete against 15 other teams in the Backyard Football League. Each team plays a 14-game season. By the end of the regular season, the 4 division champions and 4 wild card teams enter the Backyard Football League Playoffs to compete for the Super Colossal Cereal Bowl! EARN CLASSIC POWER UPS Earn power-ups by completing passes on offense and sacking the opposing QB on defense. Offensive • Hocus Pocus – A pass play which results in a receiver teleporting down field. • Sonic Boom – A run play which causes an earthquake to knock over the opposing team. • Leap Frog – A run play which causes your running back to leap down field. • Super Punt – A very powerful punt! Defensive • Cough Drop – A play that causes the opponent to fumble when tackled. • Chameleon – A trick play that results in your team wearing the other team's colors for ultimate confusion. • Spring Loaded – A play that causes your player to leap over the line of scrimmage to sack the QB. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION At our core, we are fans first – not just of video games, but of the Backyard Sports franchise. Fans have asked for accessible and legal ways to play their original Backyard titles for years, and we are excited to deliver. Without having access to the source code, there are hard limitations on the experience we can create. However, Backyard Football ‘99 runs well, looks better than ever, and creates a new installation for digital preservation within the Backyard Sports catalog that allows the next generation of fans to fall in love with the game.

What Backyard Football '99 Is Used For

Backyard Football '99 appears to be a sports game app for playing simplified, arcade-style football on Android phones. Based on the metadata, it is commonly used for quick pick-up matches as well as longer season-style play, with controls designed to be easy to learn and suitable for casual play.

The app seems focused on recreating the original Backyard Football experience with team drafting, custom team logos, and match play across different backyard fields and weather settings. It also includes classic power-up plays on offense and defense, which suggests the game is meant for light strategy and fast, playful competition rather than realistic simulation.

The listed permissions, including network access, license checking, startup behavior, vibration, and preventing sleep, may support app licensing, online connectivity, feedback during gameplay, and keeping the game active while you play. Since it is a phone app, it appears intended mainly for handheld use on Android devices rather than large-screen or controller-heavy setups.
