Backyard Baseball 2001 Emulator

Inspired by an article by Zach Kram at the Ringer last year, Bobby and Alex take a deep dive into the history of “Backyard Baseball,” the kids-video-game-turned-cult-classic that they grew up with. They bring on Nick Mirkovich, one of the game’s co-creators, to talk about the game’s inception and its evolution through the years, and speculate on why the game remains so firmly embedded in the minds of this generation. They dive into the colorful personalities of each character and reminisce on what made the game so special in the first place. It’s a full-on nostalgia sesh, featuring real gameplay and cameos from Sunny Day, Vinnie the Gooch, and the one and only Pablo Sanchez.

Catchy, but I recommend it for kids

Backyard Baseball 2001 is a sports game published and developed by Humongous Entertainment, a company owned by Atari. I found this game as the perfect game for children, mostly because of the authentic animations and the simple menu presented. The game works smoothly, and you can simply control the action with the mouse (to run, throw or swing in the place you want to) and with space button in order to pause it. If the characters are placed in the right spot, they will automatically catch the ball. There is no plot, you just create teams and try to gain high scores and win. You can make the game challenging by setting the difficulty to a hard one, and make it fun by combining teams. Speaking of teams, you have 30 characters to choose from. The sounds are great, and there is always fun to listen the characters, the commentators, the cheering crowds and the general ambiance. The kids are taunting about their abilities to play, and this fact brings a good humour. You will also find funny the way they chat. No complaints about the graphics area, neither, since the environment is colourful and pleasant to watch. Backyard Baseball 2001 is enjoyable, but far too easy for adults, so, you would better get it for your little sister, brother or other young relatives.
