pretty sure there was a flash version of this game back in the early 00’s. Something tickling the brain
I remember the one with gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other

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
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.
I played so much of this game back in the day.
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.
That game was the fucking best.
I’m old enough to have hand coded a precursor to this on the Commodore Pet.
Scorched earth!
Where’s the skiing game at?
Oh no! This is what I get for scrolling all the way to the bottom of the thread…
Anyone remember the name of a space game from around that time , or maybe even bit earlier, was DOS at least. I think it was 3D view from cockpit, chasing and shooting others. I remember it was possible to multiplayer over LAN
Was after this game but Descent?
Oh man that game. So good.
Oh no, I’m old.
We’re old
Scorched Earth. Talk about a flashback. Tank Wars was another fun one.
