Brian Lara Cricket 96

Developer: Unknown

A compact 16-bit take on cricket that focuses on timing, shot selection and tactical bowling. Players step into gritty pixel stadiums to bat with a variety of stroke options, bowl with different deliveries and set fields across quick-match and tournament modes. Matches are driven by arcade pacing — long innings are condensed, with a spotlight on reading pace and placing shots rather than realistic simulation. Two-player head-to-head adds competitive charm, while simple controls make it welcoming yet challenging to master. Nostalgic chiptune crowds and crisp sprites deliver a classic Genesis/Mega Drive sports feel.
