Looks like a remake of Scorched Earth from like 30 years ago :)
I still hear the random sound effects of the funky bomb in my mind when the world grows quiet.
It has been a really long time since I played this. If I didn’t just get another game I was planning on playing, I’d totally try and find a copy of the deluxe version. I don’t think we ever had the deluxe version, so that would be really fun to get and mess around with like I used to on the old family computer.
Definitely a game I really liked.
There was an game like this but more advanced where you could buy weapons before starting the game and during gameplay you’d gain money based on how well you played. Me and my brother would play this for hours and hours.
I remember Scorched Earth from the DOS, Win95 days that this was based on. The tanks would hurl slurs at each other before shooting and I recall a similar purchasing system that you mention as well.
That was the one I played, too. The name of the game was “Tanks”.
Yes, that the one. Thanks for telling me. I probably have it somewhere on my pc as an .swf file. Gonna play with my bro another round or two.
Does loving it in 2005 count?
Yeah sure since 2005 was only three or four years… ago… Dang I guess I’m getting old.
Looks like a poor copy of Scorched Earth
The game’s resolution is Full HD. I just grabbed a purposely bad one that would be enough to rekindle memories of anyone who played it.
damn that brings back memories
