Allan Border Cricket - Classic Game



One of the few computer games recreating cricket, the traditional summer pastime in many English-speaking countries. The game had different licenses with well-known cricketers in different countries. It was Audiogenic's second cricket game, 8 years after the previous Graham Gooch's Test Match.All the international sides are present, with the chance to change the player data and choose the team yourself. Test match and limited-overs matches are available, with 1 or 2 innings per team, and you can turn the Leg-before-wicket dismissal off, which makes the game easier to understand.
Anyway, the game was best one available (for cricket) till 1996, graphics wise. The players are too old... may have to edit that. One great thing is that this game allows you to edit the players and teams, the number of teams that could be generated is unlimited! Also there are many configuration options, like turning on/off LBW... One Day match or Test match and so on. A must download for all cricket fans. This game is best run under DOS not win 95 (may still work).
There are 3 skill levels - Amateur, Professional and World Class. The bowling involves positioning a cursor to place the bowl, then controlling the speed/spin (depending on the type of bowler selected). Batting involves timing one of the many available shots, and fielding is largely automated.

Praetorians





Set amidst the reign of Julius Caesar, Praetorians is an epic troop-based strategy game from the creators of the award-winning, best-selling Commandos series.
As a Roman General on a quest to forge an empire, you will be transported back to the dusty battlefields of Egypt, the frozen lands of the Gauls, and finally to the heart of the Empire itself, Italy. Your quest will be no easy task as the lands you seek to conquer are heavily defended by thousands of powerful troops.

Features:


  • Command the forces of 3 civilizations - the disciplined Romans, the ferocious Gauls, and the religiously fanatical Egyptians - each with a unique set of troops and war machines.
  • Pure strategic combat - forsaking base building and resource gathering, Praetorians allows you to focus entirely on commanding your armies.
  • Employ the powerful war machines of Roman campaigns to either protect possessions or destroy enemy defenses and siege their fortresses.
  • Different landscapes play an all-important role in battle. From snow-capped mountains to sandy beaches, the AI will understand varying terrain and its defensive and offensive possibilities.
  • Battle for supremacy online in an intense multiplayer match supporting up to 8 players. Multiplayer mode features unique maps and the ability to control any of the three civilizations.
  • More than 20 varied missions requiring vastly different strategies. Combining units and exploiting your enemy?s weaknesses is key for victory.
  • Played out in jaw-dropping 3D visuals ? from the immense scale of the Pyramids right down to the individual centurion ? Praetorians is stunning in its detail, scale and beauty.
  • The game is incredibly intuitive, belying its sophisticated game engine and allowing skilled strategy gamers and beginners alike to fully immerse themselves in the story with absolute ease.
