Line 4: {{quote\|'''Sunny Day:''' [[Catch Phrase\|Hi-de-ho]], sports fans!}} '''''Backyard Sports''''', formerly called ''Junior Sports'', is a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin\|sports]] video game series originally made by [[Humongous Entertainment]], which was later bought by [[Atari]]. It is the only game series that has licensing from all the major professional sports leagues in the USA: the MLB, MLS, NFL, NBA, and NHL. There have been over 30 games published in the series, [[Seasonal Rot\|the first few of which are regarded as quite good and the last few of which are regarded as awful]]. There are six main brands associated with the series: ''[[Baseball\|Backyard Baseball]]'', ''[[The Beautiful Game\|Backyard Soccer]]'', ''[[American Football\|Backyard Football]]'', ''[[Basketball\|Backyard Basketball]]'', ''[[Ice Hockey\|Backyard Hockey]]'', and ''Backyard Skateboarding'' (which has only produced one game and its [[Updated Rerelease\|Game of the Year Edition]]). The series has spawned [[The Anime of the Game\|a TV special]] (''NFL Backyard Basics: Football Tips from the Pros'') and [[Tie-in Novel\|a few books]], as well as a [[Comic Book Adaptation]] (a [[Prequel]] to the game ''Sandlot Sluggers'') which can be read [https://web.archive.org/web/20140224162858/http://www.backyardsports.com/sandlot_sluggers/comic here]. Line 95: * [[Hyperactive Metabolism]]: Juice heals you in ''Baseball'' and ''Basketball''. * [[It's Always Spring]]: Averted in ''Football 2004'', where the climate changes with real-world climate. * [[Jet Pack]]: ''Backyard Football'' has the Rocket Boots powerups. * [[Joke Item]]: The powerup The Fang in ''Baseball''. It will always be a ball even if it is thrown in the strike zone. ** [[Lethal Joke Item]]: It's designed to trick the batter into swinging (if they do, they'll always miss).
