If no one guesses right this will be a massive shot to my ego, which is already on life support
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.
We got nothing done at school because of this game.
Scorch2000 and worms world party were staples of my childhood.
Never really played that. Was more into the text adventures like Zork.
I enjoyed The Wizard of Frobozz.
Hello sailor.
Scorched Earth: The Mother of All Games. Die Commie Pigs!!!
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.
I think I must have a setting wrong, I’m using Mlem but I can only see the title of the post. Is there a gif or othe media attached to this?
There’s a photo of a tank game.
I saw the thumbnail and thought “Scorched Earth?”
Then I clicked and, sure enough, it’s Scorched Earth!
I had it on my computer for a very long time, but it’s not programmed to take the increased processing speeds of modern computers into account, so trying to play it on a current system is playing it on super extreme fast-forward.
In that time and place, it was magical
Scorched Earth
Bingo!
Bingo is a totally different game
Yahtzee!
I remember having to turn off turbo mode to be able to play it, otherwise the barrels would rotate too fast.
That experience is a badge of honor
Loved loved Scorched Earth. The game is still fun even with it’s dated graphics.
I’m old enough to have hand coded a precursor to this on the Commodore Pet.
I remember the one with gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other
TSAR BOMBA!
Scorched earth!
