TroublesomeTalker ( @TroublesomeTalker@feddit.uk ) English12•1 year agoScorched Earth? Or is this the one before that?
It’s Scorched Earth! Looks comically simple now but boy was that a blast.
TroublesomeTalker ( @TroublesomeTalker@feddit.uk ) English10•1 year agoMan my poor pc got absolutely hammered by the giant dirt bombs and the deaths head / mirv
I never actually played this at home. They had it on our school computers and it was a mainstay of the day.
mycatiskai ( @mycatiskai@lemmy.one ) English1•1 year agoOur elementary school computers had one copy of Odells lake on a 5 1/2 in floppy disk and some copies of Oregon trail to share.
We had crab volleyball on our high school computers.
It’s scorched earth!
🆂🆃🅰🅽🅻🅴🆈 🅿🅰🅸🅽 ( @Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English8•1 year agoScorched Earth. Talk about a flashback. Tank Wars was another fun one.
Liempong_pagong ( @Liempong_pagong@beehaw.org ) English8•1 year agoScorched earth!

onlooker ( @onlooker@lemmy.ml ) English6•1 year agoPssh, I’m not that old.
…I’m actually this old.
dannii_montanii ( @dannii_montanii@beehaw.org ) English1•1 year ago100 time this! And now I feel old(er)
binboupan ( @binboupan@lemmy.kagura.eu ) English6•1 year agoI still play Scorched Earth with my friends while having a few beers
Nailbar ( @nailbar@sopuli.xyz ) English1•1 year agoIt holds up as a party game really well
binboupan ( @binboupan@lemmy.kagura.eu ) English1•1 year agoIt does! You can go all out or just play normally haha
Sev ( @SevYote@pawb.social ) English6•1 year agoAll 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.
hglman ( @hglman@lemmy.ml ) English1•1 year agoSame, I have no idea how it even worked but we spent to much time playing this.
Controllerhead ( @Controllerhead@lemmy.ml ) English5•1 year agoScorched Earth: The Mother of All Games. Die Commie Pigs!!!
Cas ( @CassowaryTom@vlemmy.net ) English5•1 year agoMy 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.
Frodo ( @Frodo@lemmy.ml ) English5•1 year agoI remember it very well! Played it far too much!
Antik ( @Antik@lemmy.ml ) English4•1 year agoScorch2000 and worms world party were staples of my childhood.
AbsentApe ( @AbsentApe@midwest.social ) English4•1 year agoIf you ever feel the urge to play again, there is a phone game called Pocket Tanks. Does a great job recreating the game.
Thanks!
DR_Hero ( @DR_Hero@programming.dev ) English1•1 year agoI used to troll the pocket tanks forums back in middle school and learned to make pixelart just to make weapon suggestions. The dev was cool, and I think one of my ideas/suggestions ended up making it in the game.
We would play each other using hamachi, and I made friends with a couple of people in the group.
AbsentApe ( @AbsentApe@midwest.social ) English1•1 year agoThat’s cool as hell. I play all the time. It’s the only game I can keep going back to. I never get bored of it.
If no one guesses right this will be a massive shot to my ego, which is already on life support
Profilename1 ( @Profilename1@sopuli.xyz ) English4•1 year agoNo, but I’m pretty sure I played a flash port of it.
𝓢𝓮𝓮𝓙𝓪𝔂𝓔𝓶𝓶 ( @SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org ) English4•1 year agoMe, me, me! Waves hands furiously.
I used to love Scorched Earth. Now if I want that fix I play Shell Shock.
