I saw the thumbnail and thought "Scorched Earth?"

Then I clicked and, sure enough, it's Scorched Earth!

I had it on my computer for a very long time, but it's not programmed to take the increased processing speeds of modern computers into account, so trying to play it on a current system is playing it on super extreme fast-forward.

In that time and place, it was magical

There is always Scorched 3D. Available in a package manager near you.

Hell yeah!! That speaker intro, flying off into the sunset... Great times.

Did you ever come across triplane turmoil? Much newer but similar spirit

It's awesome, reasonably good multiplayer bots - is like 4 plane Sopwith, with various alliances

I remembered playing this in our school's computer lab

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

Decent game!

That game was the fucking best.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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 think I must have a setting wrong, I’m using Mlem but I can only see the title of the post. Is there a gif or othe media attached to this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

There's a photo of a tank game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It’s an image. I was using Mlem too, now giving Memmy a shot and the experience seems better

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