- ben174 4y agoPile Driver! Years of my life sunk into Scorched Tanks. As an Amiga child, I have no MS DOS nostalgia. But I am pretty sure Scorched Tanks was a decent alternative.
- billpg 4y agoI remember the game music of that, "Ari San Crossroad" by "Sidewinder". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvqcW0E0osE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvqcW0E0osE (Dammit brain, I forget all sorts of useful things, but why did I remember that?)
- LocalH 4y agoCame here to say this. I found 'Earth at my school (which was filled with DOS machines, mostly IBM PS/2s), and then learned about 'Tanks through the various resources I had available in the early 90s. I never got to play it in its full glory back then - I only had an A2000 with 1MB chip RAM, so I could only play in 16 colors and (I think) with the half-size maps. It wasn't until UAE that I was actually able to play 64-color full-map 'Tanks like it was meant to be played. Even still sometimes I fire up Pocket Tanks on my PC, although the overall presentation is a bit watered down compared to Scorched Tanks, the core experience is still there. Would be nice to see a true remake of Scorched Tanks someday.
