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.

pretty sure there was a flash version of this game back in the early 00's. Something tickling the brain

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?

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

There's a photo of a tank game.

[–] 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

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

[–] Anissem@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

That experience is a badge of honor

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

I don't remember it on dos but u remember it as a flash game.

[–] RandomChain@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That game was the fucking best.

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 (3 children)

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

Decent game!

[–] nugget359@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I remember the one with gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other

[–] 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.
