@xXbelmontXx "This is such a ripoff of Tank Wars 3.0"
True. And that Tank Wars game by Kenneth Morse was a rip-off of an older game also called Tank Wars by Cody Snider. And there are earlier such games. Everybody is ripping off everybody else. ;-)
I remember playing a version of this in the late 90s where the battleground was the solar system and I think you controlled space ships instead. Anyone know the name of that one?
best game ever!!! i remember when i was i little boy i loved playing this game on my cousin's pc. i didn't have one... so many years have passed and that's the only old game i could play on and on.
This game was epic at it's time. We used to play this on the shop class computer back in the day. This game defintiely deserves a resurgence.. but it better come with a shit ton of weapons, upgrades, etc that made this game to amazing back then
better keep the classic Death's Head, Funky, and Dirt Clod bombs!
@TheMudDragon if your still don't know how to get it going is place the scorched earth game files in a c: directory something like Scorched, then boot dosbox and then at the prompt type Mount c: c:\(directory of the game you want to play) then c:, and then run scorch.exe(I beleived that was the name of the exe)
@TheMudDragon you need to use an app called "dosbox", it emulates the full DOS environment, and outputs PC speaker sounds through your standard sound device.
Man in our days, this was the best shit of all time! Large variety of weapons, multi player, and edit texts used in before fire and before death scenarios. Excellent game.
its absolutely incredible how customizable this game was for its time :D i mean there were physics options such as air density gravity ratio and much more. awesome classic 5/5
This game deserves a PROPER remake. Yes, I know about Atomic Cannon, Pocket Tanks, etc... but none has the variety of terrains and options that Scorched Earth had...
I would love to see a 3-D online multiplayer version of this game on the three consoles today. Co-op and micophone compatible too. I miss the animations from this game like the vertical beam explosion and the red radius of death. Such sweet nostalgia...
ive been trying to remember the name of this damn game for 3 months, and it just popped into my head a moment ago... now i get to find it and play it!!!!!!!
i used to play this game in high school all the time lol favorite weapons were the funky bomb and the dirt bomb used to love covering them in an assload of dirt i miss this game
When I was 13 & 14, I played this damn game to DEATH! I first saw it on my friends 386SX/20Mhz with 2MB of RAM. What an amazing game this was and still is. I love the types of attacks and the terrain that slides down. This game was endless fun and NEVER repetitive. I loved the NUKE type attacks and the wide verity of attacks. The Dirt bomb was effective, to bury a foe underground while you muster an attack, while they blow themselves up trying to get lose! Thanks for posting this!
I remember when I used to play this on lunch break when I was like twelve in the library . Lol 2 mb lol my laptop has 60 GB I thought was alot , dad buys a computer like a a year or two later and his got 250 GB shows how much computers have changed.
Awesome. Would have loved to see some wild Sandhog action, shield bouncing, or possibly the infamous "fill a shield with napalm" manoeuvre added to the mix.
Loved to shoot my nukes at my friends :D this game was just pure epicness back in the day of 386-s :)

Love this game.
If anyone wants to play, there is an online version at scorch2000(dot)com. You can play with AI, or with other players if they log on.
Its almost the same as the original, but some of the nastalgic sound fx have been changed. However, this makes it a little less annoying.
