Cricket by TJ Owens
Hi everyone ( Newbie here )
Just wondering if there are any fans out there of the old Speccy game Cricket by TJ Owens, it came out in about 1984 ?
I brought this game about a year later and am delighted to find it once again along with a good working emulator.
My question is is there anyone interested in adapting this game to an extended format ?
I'm not a coder myself , This game is in a One day format, but seems to me to have one of the game engines (realistic) I have come across in the Cricket genre (sp ?).
I recall contacting the authour of this software some years ago and asking wether there were any likehood of him making some minor changes to the game and extending it.
I recall the main reason he gave for not doing it was the there was'nt enough memory in the 48K days to do this, but now with the advent of the 128 K tis should hopefully be possible.
I would be interested in getting in touch with anyone regards this, or just wanting to chat and swap stories about the game
Many thanks for your time.
Look forward to hearing for you

But I did quite enjoy International Cricket (inlay) (WoS listing) (couple of nice tips from Tipshop) by Grandslam which came stuck to the front of Your Sinclair - issue 31, July 1988 (cover) (game info, page 33).
Maybe not good enough for a full price commercial release at this time but very nice as an exclusive "freebie" taverymuch...
I must load it up again now to remind myself why I liked it years ago! :D
