More unhinged fun IMO
- sonar_un 5mo agoI was gonna say, this is totally tank wars!
- mpyne 5mo agoYeah, this is the one that ruled my homeroom during last bit of elementary school.
- Cpoll 5mo agoThey had a shared ancestor in Tanx. I also remember Tank Wars fondly.
- alterom 5mo agoNah, Ken Morse's Tank Wars really was the mother of all artillery games. Tank Wars came out in 1990, Tanks came out in 1991. There were artillery games before Tank Wars, of course. But none, to my knowledge, had AI players and insane weapon purchases, which is what made the game really fun, and which Scorched Earth inherited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artillery_game#Artillery_games_for_MS-DOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artillery_game#Artillery_games...
- ndr42 5mo agoI just want to let this Atari ST classic here: Ballerburg (1987) is massive fun.
