          I never actually played this at home. They had it on our school computers and it was a mainstay of the day.

            Our elementary school computers had one copy of Odells lake on a 5 1/2 in floppy disk and some copies of Oregon trail to share.

            We had crab volleyball on our high school computers.

      Hell yeah, maybe from before my time but I played that a lot in the early 90s

    If no one guesses right this will be a massive shot to my ego, which is already on life support

      Me too. I want to buy a vintage Packaged Bell 100ish MHZ computer one day for the shear nostalgia.

      Shell Shock

      A crude imitation. Shell Shock has the whole progression scheme where your weapons get stronger and more diverse the more you play. Its basically applying the crappy “Call of Duty” formula and level up system to an old arcade game.


      The best modern version of Scorched Earth is probably the “Worms” series. Its got too much of a cartoon veneer though: exploding sheep and banannas… but the strategy is overall there. I did prefer the original Scorched Earth.

      I want Shell Shock without the level-up system (and probably without the wormholes as well). I mean… scratch that. I just want scorched earth again with online play.

      “GunBound” was an interesting twist from the 00s, a Koran game full of costumes / cute anime-like drawings and the like… you spawned with a single weapon based on the character you chose. It wasn’t balanced but it was fun trying to derp around with whatever weapon you got.

        I get what you’re saying but for me, at least, it scratches the itch and the leveling up gives a sense of progression that otherwise wouldn’t be there.

        I want Shell Shock without the level-up system (and probably without the wormholes as well)

        You can turn off the obstacles (walls, wormholes).

    I remember it well. The ultimate shot was called Deaths head and it destroyed half the poligon. Later versions has way more options for shooting including lasers.
