Scorched Earth? Or is this the one before that?

Scorched earth!

I miss MSDOS 6.22

I still play Scorched Earth with my friends while having a few beers

If no one guesses right this will be a massive shot to my ego, which is already on life support

Pssh, I'm not that old.

...I'm actually this old.

Scorched earthhhhh

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.

Scorched Earth: The Mother of All Games. Die Commie Pigs!!!

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.

I remember it very well! Played it far too much!

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

Great game. I remember playing a lot of the successor "Scorched 3D" as well

Scorch2000 and worms world party were staples of my childhood.

If you ever feel the urge to play again, there is a phone game called Pocket Tanks. Does a great job recreating the game.

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.

Where's the skiing game at?

Scorched Earth. Talk about a flashback. Tank Wars was another fun one.

No, but I'm pretty sure I played a flash port of it.

Ah yes.. back when the turbo button made games run faster 🫠

You can get it here! http://www.whicken.com/scorch/

I remember playing this with my friend in the early 90s. Was such a fun little game.

I had that on my TI-85 too

I played so much of this game back in the day.

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

Oh no, I’m old.

Scorched Earth was awesome, never got a lot done in computer classes at school because of it :)

Loved loved Scorched Earth. The game is still fun even with it's dated graphics.

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.
