I've been searching everywhere for one of my favorite games called Scorched Earth. Any one know where I can find it or other old dos games? Any help would be useful. Thanks

You want full release versions, or the demos? My brother may have a scorched earth demo, we used to play that all the time.

That game was fun, I wish someone would make an updated version with more weapons/better graphics.

I always liked the "Funky Bomb" and all the little saying when the players fired or died. :)

bigsmooth...

Funky bomb was OK, but nothing like the sheer power of Death's Head.

:D

Viper, the Funky Bomb was more for show than for sheer power. The Death's Head was definitely more potent.

Actually, I think one of the most powerful weapons in the game was the "Heavy Sandhog". It could take out a whole bunch of people on a hill, even through shields.

Hot Napalm wasn't half bad, either. :)

I always loved the glow of the death's head, I'd stick my nose up to the screen & let it completely fill my vision. :)

Hot napalm was a lot of fun, seeing that film over the top of someone's shield. Even better was the times when it would actually flow inside the shield.

God, I love that game. I'll have to download it when I get home.

By the way, did anyone ever play using the default money amount? It was not enough to buy all the cool weapons! I always gave myself tons of money so I could stock up on the MIRVs and Napalm etc.

One thing that would piss me off would be when you died (I think I killed myself on accident most times) and the remaining computer players would be "morons" who basically shot randomly. Even though the game would speed up, they could take a long-ass time to kill each other. :|
