Cricket 64

Cricket 64 is a video game in the sports genre and published by CRL Group PLC originally released in 1984. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Cricket 64 allows you to interact with a game of cricket between England and the West Indies in a limited overs match. Before the match starts you can change the names of the players on each team and decide who bats and bowls first, before selecting a bowler. The match itself is shown across the screen from above at a high angle and your final setting, if you choose, is to move the fielders. Once you are satisfied with your selection, the game begins. You watch the bowler approach the wicket before bowling the ball and then watch the batsman hit the ball, miss the ball, get out LBW or the wicket get hit.

If the batsman hits the ball, you will see it move until it stops. The fielder closest to the ball is highlighted and you decide whether to run or not. If you choose to run, the ball is bowled as both batters run to the opposite end of the wicket. If you choose not to run, the bowler receives the ball and approaches the wicket once again. At the end of an over you can decide whether to view the scorecard and select the next bowler.
