Listen to these instructions if you're having trouble trying to run the game:
First of all, you need to download PowerISO and ScummVM. Next, take your downloaded file and extract it so it isn't a zip file. You then need to go to PowerISO (if there is something on your screen about registration, wait a few seconds and you can click out of it), click "Open", select your file, and then extract it on PowerISO. (MAKE SURE YOU EXTRACT IT TO THE SAME FILE). Then go to ScummVM, add game, click that file, (choose the right file after this if it is shown), and you should be good to go! Have fun scoring TDs with Pablo Sanchez!

I have this game in a bundle with Basketball. Backyard Football is pretty hard, but it works fine.

does anyone know if there's any way to save progress? ISO works great, but it "installs" the game every single time upon bootup, so I can't do a season unless I play it all in one sitting

Could someone who knows how to use ScummVM show me how to make this work? I downloaded what I think is the right thing but I'm not great with computer stuff, just really feeling like playing the game of my childhood.
Message me on reddit u/gmil3548 if you can help me.

The game works fine. You have to use ScummVM to play it on modern computers. Just extract the iso from the zip, then extract the contents of the ISO to a folder. Install ScummVM and point it to the folder you extracted the ISO to.

So everything runs fine but when I open the game again it wants to reinstall. Any suggestions?

Anyone have trouble with this download? I got it fired up, but once I started a game the screen would freeze on a corner of the field and nothing would happen. Had to close the game via Task Manager

I had it work fine with ScummVM, actually, so maybe there was a problem with your download? Go Bears.

Will this work with ScummVM I was unable to get this to work with Scumm. I think we need a windows version to work like with Backyard Baseball.
