    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.

    Never really played that. Was more into the text adventures like Zork.

    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 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.

    I remember having to turn off turbo mode to be able to play it, otherwise the barrels would rotate too fast.

    I’m old enough to have hand coded a precursor to this on the Commodore Pet.
