More than 50 different Backyard Sports games have been made since the first game was released in 1997, and I've just reviewed every single one of them. Guess I'm just that crazy, huh? Days upon days of my life have been poured into recording and editing this video, WEEKS of preparation as I played these games and wrote my scripts. This video has literally been more than one year in the making... and now I'm glad it's done lol.

At first I thought it was going to feel great knowing that I'm the first person in the history of mankind to ever make this video, but now that it's done I see why nobody else ever bothered to do this before me: Making this video was torture. Ah well, the video is finished and out there in the world for people to enjoy, and that's what matters most at the end of the day. Honestly I'm just glad this project isn't bottlenecking me anymore and I can move on to working on other things. When I set out to make this Humongous Entertainment retrospective series, I had no idea what rabbit hole the Backyard Sports series would lead me down, and if I knew back then what I know now, I never would've agreed to do this.

But hey, I did it and now I can relax knowing my work with this subject matter is done. I don't expect this video to get as much attention as I would like it to (in fact I expect it to completely flop), but I hope those of you that do read this description enjoyed it well enough. Anyways, I'm gonna go work on some ranking videos now.
