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 don't remember it on dos but u remember it as a flash game.
I think I'm the only youngling in this thread lol
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.
In that time and place, it was magical
There is always Scorched 3D. Available in a package manager near you.
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.
pretty sure there was a flash version of this game back in the early 00's. Something tickling the brain
That game was the fucking best.
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?
It’s an image. I was using Mlem too, now giving Memmy a shot and the experience seems better
There's a photo of a tank game.
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
Descent ?
Decent game!
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
