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.
Our elementary school computers had one copy of Odells lake on a 5 1/2 in floppy disk and some copies of Oregon trail to share.
We had crab volleyball on our high school computers.
It’s scorched earth!
Scorched earth!
I still play Scorched Earth with my friends while having a few beers
It holds up as a party game really well
It does! You can go all out or just play normally haha
Scorched Earth. Talk about a flashback. Tank Wars was another fun one.
Scorched Earth: The Mother of All Games. Die Commie Pigs!!!
I remember it very well! Played it far too much!
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.
Same, I have no idea how it even worked but we spent to much time playing this.
Pssh, I’m not that old.
…I’m actually this old.
100 time this! And now I feel old(er)
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.
No, but I’m pretty sure I played a flash port of it.
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!
I used to troll the pocket tanks forums back in middle school and learned to make pixelart just to make weapon suggestions. The dev was cool, and I think one of my ideas/suggestions ended up making it in the game.
We would play each other using hamachi, and I made friends with a couple of people in the group.
That’s cool as hell. I play all the time. It’s the only game I can keep going back to. I never get bored of it.
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 so much of this game back in the day.
Loved loved Scorched Earth. The game is still fun even with it’s dated graphics.
