Backyard Soccer

Game Description

Backyard Soccer MLS Edition is a children’s soccer video game developed by Humongous Entertainment and released in 2000 as part of the Backyard Sports series. Unlike the series’ previous game, Backyard Soccer, this edition was the first to feature Major League Soccer (MLS) teams, including several women from the United States women’s national soccer team that won the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup.[1] Aimed at children ages 5 to 10, the game includes international soccer players such as the Dallas Burn’s Jason Kreis and female player Brandi Chastain, but with the added twist that all the MLS players are drawn as child caricatures in the game. The edition was released for the Macintosh and Windows platforms. A planned release for the Game Boy Color was cancelled.
