If you do it how I tell you, you should be totally fine in installing it on your own computer. So for the sake of nostalgia here you go.Īlso I just want to note that I installed this on my PC and it’s virus free. I don’t condone pirating but in this case the software is abandoned and you can’t buy it legally. If it was available from the manufacturer then this would be a whole different article. *I’m only telling you this because it is unavailable software. I hope that you get some good use out of this tutorial and have a fun time playing Backyard Baseball. And it holds a special place in my heart to this day. Before the days of heavy console games like Halo that came out in 2001 we were all playing PC games.

And I’m wondering why.īackyard Baseball came out in 1997 and was a cult classic among kid gamers. I’m telling you this is a gem that has been lost to the sands of time. I have been playing this for hours and it never gets boring. You pick the teams, play the game and you can even design your logo. It’s completely playable and just like you remember. Hit play and like magic your game will appear. Then you can run ScummVM and choose the folder. Once you have Backyard Baseball downloaded extract it into a folder and place it on the desktop.

Download that version and then go here and download and run ScummVM. If you don’t get what I’m trying to say don’t worry I promise it’s really easy. This is by far the easiest because you don’t have to mount an ISO to anything. When you go to the site( click on this link) choose the ScummVM ready option. There are two different ways to download Backyard Baseball but for the sake of easy installing I’m going to tell you how I did it. Even if you could though how many computers come with a CD drive? The answer to that is not many. That means that you can’t get it in print anymore.

It is a home for games that like in the name of the site are abandoned.

I found this gem of a site and now I’m going to be regularly looking through their catalog. So that lead me to a good old Google search, and you know what? I found it! And it was easy to install and play! Here’s How. When my brother wasn’t playing little league we would all be around the computer picking teams and playing it. Backyard Baseball was a staple in my house. And while we can play most of Humongous Entertainment’s catalog on Steam including Putt Putt, Pajama Sam, Freddi Fish and Spy Fox there is one game missing that really made me sad. One thing that we tend to run into growing up is that some of our favorite childhood games disappear by the wayside.
