Backyard Soccer (Jewel Case) - PC/Mac

My kids loved this. We then ordered Backyard Football and Basketball, which they've also enjoyed.

Bought this for my 8 year old daughter, and she loves it. She and her friends especially love to pick their teams from the bleacher full of kids, and getting to see how they are rated on individual skills. It took us a little bit of time to figure out how to move your player, since the player that you represent changes often, but once you get used to that, it gets easier to play. Overall, we really enjoy our Backyard Soccer game.

I bought this game, hoping to bring back the nostalgia I felt when I first had this game. When I installed it, I eagerly began playing and remembering all the memories I made. However, when I let my son download the game, I couldn't play anymore because it required the disc to be in at all times.

used to love this game, but this one won’t work on any of our computers

The sellers description of the game leads you believe that it will work on the newer computers. The words used were "works or windows 2000/me/xp 32 bit or higher". If you have windows 7 with a 64 bit, it does not work. False advertisement.

Doesn't meet older system requirements. That's isn't nearly advertised enough.

This game sounded perfect as a Christmas gift for my soccer-loving grandson, but it is not compatible with a Mac OS X, so it's not described correctly. Very disappointed little boy, as the cover details sound like it would be a great game.
