Brian Lara Cricket is the first in a series of cricket games to be endorsed by Brian Lara. There have been more games in the series, Brian Lara Cricket '96, Brian Lara Cricket '99, Brian Lara International Cricket 2005 and Brian Lara International Cricket 2007. Brian Lara Cricket was released on the PC in 1994 for DOS and Sega Mega Drive and Amiga in 1995 by Codemasters. The game was also rereleased in 1999 under the Codemaster Classics brand for Windows. It was developed by Audiogenic. The Mega Drive version spent 10 weeks at number 1 in the UK games charts during the summer of 1995. The game is a rebranded version of Graham Gooch World Class Cricket.
