Game Overview

Man, Brian Lara Cricket on the Sega Genesis was my childhood. You boot it up, and suddenly you're staring at those chunky pixelated players in their bright whites, ready to smash sixes or bowl some absolute heat. The controls take a minute to get used to—timing your shots feels weirdly satisfying once it clicks, especially when you middle one and watch it sail over the boundary.

What I loved was how it actually felt like cricket, even with the limitations. The fielders move in this janky but charming way, and the commentary (basic as it is) somehow adds to the nostalgia. Pro tip: Master the sweep shot early—it’s weirdly overpowered. The game’s not perfect, but for a mid-90s cricket sim, it’s still a blast to fire up when you’re craving some retro sports action.
