This game is my childhood. I played this game so much as a kid. It was fun then and it's still damn fun now. I don't care what age you are, you will love this game. Although the above reviewer may disagree, the powerups add to the game immensely, since it's a less serious atmosphere than normal baseball (and is better for it). If you go into the game expecting pure fun rather than a nitty-gritty simulation, you will love it to death.

Despite the box image and the product description, the game offered is not the 2005 version with MLB players as children - this is the original version of the game produced back in 1997. I spoke with two different Amazon reps regarding the misleading description, and this product was supposed to have been removed. The first rep said they must have pulled the incorrect product from the shelf when fulfilling the order, the second rep said the product would be removed. It's still there. Don't waste your money unless you are content with the old, original version of the game.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK game, July 21, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Backyard Baseball (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

This game is OK but I don't like the power ups. Because if the bases are loaded and the other team gets aluminum power it's a Grand Slam. And when you get aluminum power it's a home run. Trust Me.
