Backyard Baseball '97 is being rereleased by Playground Productions, developed by Mega Cat Studios, and is available exclusively on PC through Steam for .99. The game retains its original charm with minor enhancements and will launch on October 10. It features a cast of child athletes with unique personalities, allowing for quick matches or a career mode. The game does not support gamepads and relies on mouse and keyboard controls. The original source code was lost, limiting new features. Each season consists of 14 games, and players can customize their teams and gameplay settings. The minimum system requirements include a 2GHz CPU, an AMD Radeon HD 5670 GPU with 1GB of memory, and 200MB of available storage. The game supports Steam achievements and a global leaderboard but lacks typical visual settings.
