Scorched Earth was awesome, never got a lot done in computer classes at school because of it :)
Same here. We had this and a bunch of other games on our school computer and got very little done.
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
The mother of all games! I bet the game manual I printed is still lying at the bottom of some forgotten drawer at my parents house.
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.
It’s an image. I was using Mlem too, now giving Memmy a shot and the experience seems better
I had that on my TI-85 too
Imagine growing up with the latest iPhone on you now. Can’t imagine the difference.
I think I'm the only youngling in this thread lol
That game was the fucking best.
pretty sure there was a flash version of this game back in the early 00's. Something tickling the brain
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
Was after this game but Descent?
Oh man that game. So good.
I remembered playing this in our school's computer lab
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
