Old Old Old Old Tank game... like 1990!

[Weeeman]

Looking to get a free version of it.. i know noone could charge for it now though. but i dont know the name so its hard to look..


Youd sit at differant locations and pick angles and shoot the other person.. buy bombs and parachutes and stuff...anyone know what im talking about?

Same story with that game that you start with 2 balls.. and you try to contain them into as small of space as you can, more balls each level


I need a better memory

Scorched Earth looks crap compared to the game I used to play on my Amiga. It used to allow up to 4 players, had a variety of shield types and over 50 types of ammo to buy including dirtballs to rebuild parts of the map for cover.

EDIT: The Home of the Underdogs - Learn it and use the old classics well.

well i didn't use it much scorched earth...

but i still have my first PC in a box. a 286 with 640k of ram and 7 meg harddrive, it ran EPSON-DOS 5.1. did i mention it has a 3.5" AND a 5.25" floppy... don't forget my monochrome video card and monitor giving me 256 shades of green in VGA glory ... i will accept all envy in forms of personal messages

i should buy a new monitor for it and a better video card. it would be sweet to play those games again on that PC. i think it even had word perfect...

 

[Weeeman]

Windows keeps giving me errors trying to run scorched.. boo

No, definitely use DosBox for anything that needs DOS. For months now it's worked even better than a boot disk.
