scorched earth

Phryxus

this is by far the best war game ever, no exceptions. hell hath no fury like a well aimed funky bomb and there's nothing more annoying than a ton of dirt landing on top of you.

if anyone knows where there's a windows version please post a link, the dos version is well and good but a winscorch would be pure class.

tman

i'm not gonna give any links, but i think it's available on some abandonware sites...

many happy memories of playing this on the amiga:)

LoGiE

Why not take it to the emulators board eh? I'm sure it's cropped up in a thread before;) Best war game ever......Jebus god no:D

Yeah - worms is probably the equivalent. DL the original as abandonware and you'll be laughing all over again. It got progressivly crap as the series went on.

tman

i pm'd you a link raziel.
afaik it's a windows version...

Hehe , I can remember playing that on my cousin's IBM pc , Hours and Hours of fun.Especially when you had enough money saved up for the large nuke

Phryxus

i wouldn't even put worms in the same catagory as scorch, it's too comic , i mean nuke vs sheep bomb c'mon scorch you could play for hours worms is sometimes a bit slow with all that jumping and the little tag lines in scorch are great.

Scorched Earth?

Try the remade in 3D for the new millenium freeware version why don't ya?

Phryxus

That scorch 3d was ok but it just lacked something, didn't like the view, did look nice though. Sorry tman your link was a DOS version, i'll just keep lookin'

tman

sorry, just can't trust my memory these days:rolleyes:

what's wrong with the dos version anyway? it works perfectly on windows xp

Phryxus

it's strange but whenever i want to play it i have to go; start menu, run, c:\scorch15\scorch. thats the only way it works and i've tried almost everything else. i get error messages otherwise. I can live with it,

tman

is there a *.pif file in the folder that you installed scorch to?
if there is just delete it, sud work grand then (ps, merry crimbo)

Used to play it in coledge all the time on my ol 386. I rember trying it on a P1 and seeing the MIRV bombs going too fast for the eye to see. It never surfaced again as far as i know, would love to play it again.
