Scorched 3D

Back in the old days, I loved to play a DOS shareware game called Scorched Earth. It's a 2D basic artillary game where you pick a weapon and put in the firing angle and power level and try to hit enemy bases.

Someone made Scorched 3D and I just found out about it, even though it's been out for a couple of years. Since I was a Mortar Infantryman in the army, this game appeals to my past Fire Direction Computing days. It's pretty well made, surprisingly refined, and bug free so far. It's a little slow to play because you generally wait about 30 seconds between firing rounds, but pretty exciting when you score a direct hit in a couple shots. You can play against people online or against AI bots (or both). The tutorial is very well made.

It's a lot of fun, and a very well made game. Shame I completely suck at fire computation but hey - that's the point right?

So awesome. I used to play the floppy version of this game all the time as a kid. Thanks for the link.

Scorched Earth was such a great game. I spent literally hundreds of hours playing with friends. Thanks for the heads up, I'll check this out when I get home.
