scorched3d.co.uk — Remember Scorched Earth - the old DOS based tank game? Thanks to a co-worker, I was let in on Scorched 3D, a remake of the original game in OpenGL featuring 3D terrain and LAN/Internet play. It's available for free for Mac OSX, Linux, and Windows platforms. Be nostalgic, and play the successor to the "mother of all games". Not new, but fun.

Does this remind anyone else of that old qbasic game where the gorillas threw exploding bananas at each other from the tops of buildings? THAT was a classic game.

Gorillas.basIt was a great poorman's Scorched Earth. The best part was that a ton of random computers would have it, so if you were stranded somewhere with a random DOS box, it just might be there.

Scorched earth was awesome. Most of the tank games out there nowadays can't compare to the oldschool stuff
