My first cricket game...

I actually quit smoking for two weeks to save up for this game...

I had been waiting for years for a cricket game. This was my dream come true. I can't even guess how many hours I spent playing this. It was awesome.

Granted, there wasn't much to compare it to at the time. Scoring runs was tough, and once you reached your average, batting became nearly impossible. But that didn't seem to matter when you could bowl out a team for under ten runs...

No, this wasn't a tough game, but it was fun to play. Bowling was particularly enjoyable, and it was possible to swing the ball a mile... It was even more fun in two players, then there was a real contest.

There have been much better cricket games since this, but I will always have great memories of playing this particular title. This was the one Mega Drive title I continued playing long after I bought my PS1.
