Play Cricket Masters Online

Game Overview

Cricket Masters on the Amiga was one of those games that made you feel like you were actually holding a bat—or at least as close as you could get with a joystick. The controls were simple but had just enough depth to keep you from button-mashing your way to victory. You could pick between different bowling styles, and I remember spending way too much time trying to master the spin deliveries.

The graphics were solid for the time, with decent animations for the players and a crowd that actually reacted to big plays. Matches could get surprisingly tense, especially when you were down to the last few overs and needed to defend a slim lead. It wasn’t perfect—some of the fielding AI felt a little off—but for cricket fans in the Amiga era, this was as good as it got.

If you ever played this back in the day, you probably still remember the sound of the bat connecting just right.
