Anybody Played Scorched Earth?

[racketboy]

Has anybody played this old game?
It's basically the father of games like Worms and Death Tank.

I saw it was still on my old 286 in my parent's basement.

Possibly the best DOS game ever?

Uh, I dunno about Scorched Earth, but I played something similar in concept.. but with castles.

I loved the game.

If I didn't play the original, I certainly played more than one (distinct) clone of it.
There was one with a lightning cloud that if you fired a shot through would blast you, for example, and loads of nice weapons to buy with the points you got from blasting others.

Great game indeed. Although I have played many great games for DOS as well

I have played "Scorched Earth" on a 386. It has simple game play and is still fun. There is a 3D version and I believe it is OpenSource.

used to play that in school when the teacher was not watching

On XBOX Arcade

That would be cool !!! Scorched 3D is ported to a bunch of platforms, but not console platforms.
The download is 30 MB or so. I forgot about the Heavy Rollers...

I used to love Scorched Earth. My friends and I would crowd around the computer and play it. I always enjoyed shooting a Death's Head at a high velocity into the sky, which usually resulted in most everyone getting blasted.

watch out here comes the suicidal deaths head fired at 90 degrees and 1000 power.

Heavy rollers were always my babies. It is one of the three games I usually have installed on all my windows pcs (the other two are Oregon Trail 2.11 and GL_Tron). I have downloaded Scorched 3d atleast six times and have still yet to install it...
