I still play Scorched Earth with my friends while having a few beers
It holds up as a party game really well
It does! You can go all out or just play normally haha
I remember it very well! Played it far too much!
Scorched earth!
My little brother and I played the hell out of it. Especially when we figured out you could change the last words that your tank says right before it blows up. We thought that was hillarious.
I played so much of this game back in the day.
Loved that game. There was a flash version, too, but I can’t recall the name. I used to play both at the same time as Motherload. What a great soundtrack lol
Pssh, I’m not that old.
…I’m actually this old.
100 time this! And now I feel old(er)
That game was the fucking best.
I remember playing this with my friend in the early 90s. Was such a fun little game.
Ah yes… back when the turbo button made games run faster 🫠
The turbo button actually slowed things down, it was just labeled in reverse. The whole purpose was to allow older games that were tied to clock speed to be playable on faster CPUs.
Really?!? It was so long ago, but I do remember trying to see what difference it made lol. I do remember some games like you said that ran faster and some it had no effect on. I was around 10 or so and was messing around with games in basic and playing MUDS on my library’s gopher access via dialup
Yes. When they started to come out with ibm models that had 8 and 12MHz chips they realized that a lot of the games had been tied to the original 4.77MHz clock speed for their timing, so on the faster computers they were unplayable. The turbo button, which slowed the computer down was the solution.
pretty sure there was a flash version of this game back in the early 00’s. Something tickling the brain

I was just thinking “this looks like that gorilla game I played as a kid!” but I’ve never heard anyone mention it before!

All the computers in the Electronics lab had it installed on them; we wasted so much time playing. That was such a complete screw-off class, haha.
I remember the one with gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other

I’m old enough to have hand coded a precursor to this on the Commodore Pet.
