So many hours playing Scorched Earth on DOS, way back. Great times.

I played DOS Gorilla and Hackman!
Those were the days!
Looks like a remake of Scorched Earth from like 30 years ago :)
I still hear the random sound effects of the funky bomb in my mind when the world grows quiet.
I think Worms is the ultimate version of this type of game, but I celebrate the entire genre and love them all.
Yet to play Worms, I have Worms 2 and Worms Armageddon downloaded for archival sakes.
I just find Pocket Tanks nice, quick open, play and close. I destroy CPU-10 like a world champion. Scored 3200ish against CPU-10 yesterday lol
Does loving it in 2005 count?
Yeah sure since 2005 was only three or four years… ago… Dang I guess I’m getting old.
There was an game like this but more advanced where you could buy weapons before starting the game and during gameplay you’d gain money based on how well you played. Me and my brother would play this for hours and hours.
I remember Scorched Earth from the DOS, Win95 days that this was based on. The tanks would hurl slurs at each other before shooting and I recall a similar purchasing system that you mention as well.

Yeah, it was a flash game so it can’t be scorched earth, but we had win95 and my dad bought us a bootleg CD full of games (around 15) and i foundly remember playing some of them. One was an official Tarzan game, another was bike driving game were you had to avoid bugs from smashing your face and a mortal combat clone that had me make nightmares for weeks. Good times.
That was the one I played, too. The name of the game was “Tanks”.
Yes, that the one. Thanks for telling me. I probably have it somewhere on my pc as an .swf file. Gonna play with my bro another round or two.
damn that brings back memories
OMG this game, I used to play it a lot
OMG I was obsessed with this game! I didn’t realize it was still around
I play it with WINE on Debian Linux :D one of the first games besides emulator ROMs I always played on Linux
There’s a mobile version on Android with online functionality now too
It does not have 295 weapons of Deluxe PC edition though, does it? I did play it on Android eons ago.
let’s gooo I love pocket tanks
It has been a really long time since I played this. If I didn’t just get another game I was planning on playing, I’d totally try and find a copy of the deluxe version. I don’t think we ever had the deluxe version, so that would be really fun to get and mess around with like I used to on the old family computer.
Definitely a game I really liked.
Never played it. Should I?
Is that a question? GO DO IT! Get the Deluxe version with 295 weapons.
Looks like a poor copy of Scorched Earth
The game’s resolution is Full HD. I just grabbed a purposely bad one that would be enough to rekindle memories of anyone who played it.
