      It’s Scorched Earth! Looks comically simple now but boy was that a blast.

          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.

    All the computers in the Electronics lab had it installed on them; we wasted so much time playing. That was such a complete screw-off class, haha.

    If you ever feel the urge to play again, there is a phone game called Pocket Tanks. Does a great job recreating the game.

      I used to troll the pocket tanks forums back in middle school and learned to make pixelart just to make weapon suggestions. The dev was cool, and I think one of my ideas/suggestions ended up making it in the game.

      We would play each other using hamachi, and I made friends with a couple of people in the group.

        That’s cool as hell. I play all the time. It’s the only game I can keep going back to. I never get bored of it.

    My little brother and I played the hell out of it. Especially when we figured out you could change the last words that your tank says right before it blows up. We thought that was hillarious.
