With the release of the Brian Lara Cricket demo I will update the CricketGames.com CD-ROM to release 010.

The CD-ROM is available for US$20 including delivery anywhere in the world. Within the UK the cost is £10. For more details see the order form.

Order the CricketGames.com CD-ROM online for US$20 via a secure server or fill in an order form.

I have fallen foul of the bandwidth limits of my web provider. I have a transfer limit of 1.5Gb per month which was exceed on 26 December. I have to pay £25 per month per additional 500Mb transferred which perversely is more than the normal monthly charge of £19.95. If this continues in January I will have to do something to address this situation or look for another provider as I want CricketGames.com to be able to grow. This index page has received over 6000 hits this month alone. A small reminder that to help support this site you can buy the CricketGames.com CD-ROM which is a very good CD-ROM dedicated to cricket or you can register International Test Cricket.

The CricketGames.com October Competition is now closed. The winner was Darren Mansfield. I hope to have another competition soon.

Winner of the CricketGames.com CD-ROM for submissions during October was Ken Daniels. To be considered for November see Help Wanted.

Someone has posted in the Guest Book a suggestion that I 'buy all the cricket games I can afford and make them available for free download!' This obviously is not going to happen. CricketGames.com is not a WaReZ site and never will be. On the subject of downloads I will try and add links to commercial demos soon if they are available on the net. If you know of such links please send me the web address. All shareware games already have download links.

After saying that World Cricket was the worst cricket game ever Ken Daniels claims he has a cricket game, Howzat World Cricket Quest, that is even worse. I have never heard of this game so if anyone else has experiences of it please send them in. Ken is sending me the game so I can review it for these pages but it will take a few weeks to arrive as he is based in New Zealand and I am in the UK.

Has anyone heard of a game called International Cricket Challenge? It was published by Spectre Software in 1991 and may well have been only an Australian release. I have got this game but it was originally released on 5¼" disk and was copy protected so the copy I have on 3½" disk does not work. If you have got this please send me details or better still if you have got a version installed that does not require copy protection send me a copy. I have the original disks and manual but can not play the game.

The Forum is quite quiet at the moment so why not post a message.
