So apparently Eckman Acres was going to come back...

and become a mansion.

Sadly, the artist who made this got laid off soon after making this concept. Apparently Kimmy was removed from later installments so this concept never came to be.

Looks alot like it came from a Disney game!

Interesting. It would have been somewhat awkward having that huge helipad in the middle of the field though...
Man, you are on a role finding stuff I've never known about HE before. How are you getting all this!?

Exactly!

Artist portfolios. This particular one came from Kyle Shold, who designed for Pajama Sam 1, Putt-Putt Joins the Circus and several Spy Fox games and then moved on to the Backyard titles once the Junior Adventures were discontinued.

So he's the second HE person to work for Atari?!

Second? There were many. In fact, I looked at the credits list for Backyard Football 2006 (the last Backyard game actually made in the United States) and pretty much all of the people who did art for the game had either worked for HE or Cavedog during the 1990s. There are other HE veterans on the list as well, like Tom Verre and Geoff Kirk.
