Play Graham Gooch World Class Cricket Online

Game Overview

Graham Gooch World Class Cricket was one of those Amiga sports games that actually got cricket right—or at least as right as a 16-bit game could. The controls were simple enough to pick up, but timing your shots took practice. Swing too early, and you'd send the ball straight to a fielder; too late, and you'd hear that awful sound of the wickets getting smashed.

What I loved was how it balanced arcade-style play with just enough realism to feel satisfying. The bowling had a surprising amount of variety—spin, pace, swing—and the field placements actually mattered. It wasn’t perfect (the graphics were pretty basic, even for the time), but for cricket fans in the '90s, this was as close as you got to the real thing without stepping onto a pitch.

Still holds up if you’re into retro sports games, though good luck finding a working Amiga these days.
