Scorched Earth? Or is this the one before that?
It’s Scorched Earth! Looks comically simple now but boy was that a blast.
Man my poor pc got absolutely hammered by the giant dirt bombs and the deaths head / mirv
I never actually played this at home. They had it on our school computers and it was a mainstay of the day.
It’s scorched earth!
Scorched earth!
If no one guesses right this will be a massive shot to my ego, which is already on life support
I miss MSDOS 6.22
Me too. I want to buy a vintage Packaged Bell 100ish MHZ computer one day for the shear nostalgia.
Scorched earthhhhh
Ah yes.. back when the turbo button made games run faster 🫠
The turbo button actually slowed things down, it was just labeled in reverse. The whole purpose was to allow older games that were tied to clock speed to be playable on faster CPUs.
I remember it well. The ultimate shot was called Deaths head and it destroyed half the poligon. Later versions has way more options for shooting including lasers.
I remember it very well! Played it far too much!
Scorched Earth. Talk about a flashback. Tank Wars was another fun one.
All the computers in the Electronics lab had it installed on them; we wasted so much time playing. That was such a complete screw-off class, haha.
Where's the skiing game at?
Oh no! This is what I get for scrolling all the way to the bottom of the thread…
Skifree!
I remember playing this with my friend in the early 90s. Was such a fun little game.
Great game. I remember playing a lot of the successor "Scorched 3D" as well
I think by that point I was lost to Doom
Loved loved Scorched Earth. The game is still fun even with it's dated graphics.
If you ever feel the urge to play again, there is a phone game called Pocket Tanks. Does a great job recreating the game.
Thanks!
My little brother and I played the hell out of it. Especially when we figured out you could change the last words that your tank says right before it blows up. We thought that was hillarious.
I played this a LOT on the IBM PS2 computers at my highschool! We made all sorts of custom death responses. My proudest moment was only having enough money to buy a Mag Deflector before the round and then having it bounce a would-be direct MIRV strike onto a friend's tank beside me.
Scorched Earth: The Mother of All Games. Die Commie Pigs!!!
TSAR BOMBA!
No, but I'm pretty sure I played a flash port of it.
Loved that game. There was a flash version, too, but I can't recall the name. I used to play both at the same time as Motherload. What a great soundtrack lol
Never really played that. Was more into the text adventures like Zork.
Scorch2000 and worms world party were staples of my childhood.
I played so much of this game back in the day.
