Scorched Earth was released for DOS on shareware in 1991. It is an artillery shooter, and one of my favorite DOS games during this time.

  • What's shareware? From what you said in the video I can only assume that it's like a free trial. Am i right?

  • @FuyuAkiWorld Yes that's essentially correct.

  • WOW I cant believe you reviewed this! I have been thinking bout this game a lot lately. Kids used to upload this game and then later wolfenstein on the school computers when they werent supposed to, and play them when the teachers werent looking.

  • OMG, I remember this game!!!!!! I used to play it so much back in the day. I loved shareware games :) Thank you for reminding me of this!

  • This has probably already been mentioned, but Scorched Tanks for the Amiga was inspired by this game, and is basically a highly refined and improved version. It is still one of the best games I've ever played - it's a tactical masterpiece :) I highly recommend it to everyone - amazing fun on multiplayer :)

  • Pocket Tanks would be this generation's Scorched Earth except its only 2 plays and is not as detailed as Scorched Earth, now that I think about it Scorched Earth is better.

  • I'm pretty sure I've played a very very similar DOS game named simply "bomb" and the graphics was a little bit low-res compared to the version you are showing here, but the gameplay was essentially the same, with tons of cpu opponents if you want. Unfortunately, my copy of "bomb" came from a fllopy I've bought at the flea market and it was infected by the michelangelo virus... and so my computer was infected back then, even before that virus was even mentionned in the news.

  • never saw this on shareware, friend had this as a full game on hes IBM 286 =P

  • 3:28 It's ALWAYS best to be on top John. LOL

  • Dude, I remember this game! My rich friend had it.

  • Man I loved this game as a kid!!!!! Cheating Ai always kicked my butt.

  • Several of the Dollar Stores around me had shareware floppy disks. I was able to experience a lot fo great titles this way. Do you remember the shmup called "Raptor?"

    As for this game, I think there's a newer version of it on one of those open source games sites...
