💾NEW PODCAST!💾 Back when we started out in 2017, one of our earliest members @toasty@dosgame.club (being a keen cricket fan) asked "are there any cricket games for DOS?".
It turns out: there are! Lots of them, in fact.
We dove into the wacky world of DOS cricket and explored what's there.
Don't know how cricket even works? No worries, neither do we!

Shout out to Mark Carter for making the first DOS cricket game we could find as a homebrew title, which is still available on his website: https://cricket.marcardar.com/

@dosgameclub@dosgame.club @toasty@dosgame.club side note: Cricket is one sport mentioned in "life in uk" book, which is the official book that must be read to get the British citizenship.
On cricket it says: "Games can last up to five days but still result in a draw! [...]You may come across expressions such as ‘rain stopped play’, ‘batting on a sticky wicket’, ‘playing a straight bat’, ‘bowled a googly’ or ‘it’s just not cricket’, which have passed into everyday usage."
