I’ve spent a lot more time catching up on TV of late, not so much because I wanted to but because that’s where the aircon is. And not wanting to stop gaming, I’ve been passively playing something in the background.
That game, surprisingly, ended up being Cricket 97 Ashes Tour. I remember getting this game for Christmas as a kid – and that godawful interview Richie Beneaud did with Kerri-Anne Kennerley on breakfast TV promoting it – and just playing the tri-team tournament over and over and over again.
After getting to grips with the controls (it’s so much easier with a numpad, honestly), I’ve been working my way through test matches on the couch. It’s just a nice hit of nostalgia that I can pick up and play. It’s gaming comfort food, basically.
What’s your equivalent of gaming comfort food? What’s the one game that, when you’re feeling down or don’t know what to play or just in that mood, you can always return to?
