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

[-] Anissem@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Same here. We had this and a bunch of other games on our school computer and got very little done.

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.

There is always Scorched 3D. Available in a package manager near you.

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?

[-] Anissem@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It’s an image. I was using Mlem too, now giving Memmy a shot and the experience seems better

[-] PonceDeLeon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

There's a photo of a tank game.

[-] Bageler@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I had that on my TI-85 too

[-] Anissem@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Imagine growing up with the latest iPhone on you now. Can’t imagine the difference.

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

Anyone remember the name of a space game from around that time , or maybe even bit earlier, was DOS at least. I think it was 3D view from cockpit, chasing and shooting others. I remember it was possible to multiplayer over LAN

[-] Anissem@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Was after this game but Descent?

Descent 1995

[-] rottedmood@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Oh man that game. So good.

[-] leds@feddit.dk 2 points 2 years ago

Om thinking even older , might have been Elite https://bbc.godbolt.org/?disc=elite.ssd&autoboot

[-] nx5qly@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago

I remembered playing this in our school's computer lab

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

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