Scorched Earth...

Post by XMEN Temujin »

...3D! <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/">www.scorc ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>It has the same feel of the original, but in 3D. The graphics and sound effects are great, and it really brings back memories of playing this on my Apple IIc when I was a kid. It's free for download, and does have multiplayer capabilities. However for multiplayer you will need All Seeing Eye (gamespy type utility). I don't know if ASE has spyware or anything, I don't have it currently, but might have to get it to play multi. <p></p><i></i>

Very cool. I absolutely loved scorched earth. Played it on my old Toshiba 386 laptop in monochrome colour against all my friends in grade school. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Tem, I just tried the version that you've linked to. Looks pretty neat, but a few problems: I don't know how to adjust firing POWER (I can get rotation and elevation, though) and there seems to be a fairly significant memory leak in it, because I had to reboot when I was finished with it. It's a bit of a memory hog, but hey, it's freeware. Hope it's 'nastiness'-free (spyware, etc.) and given the 'amateurish' (no offense) look of the project and site, looks safe. <p><center><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=5><td><img border="0" src="http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/t2red.g ... ><td><font size=5>RedSirus<a href=mailto:redsirus@dragontalonmercs.com>@</a></font><br><br><a target=_top href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a> > <a target=_top href=http://server2.ezboard.com/bdragontalon ... ><br><font size=2><a target=_top href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/bdtmonlinecommunity>DTM Community</a> > <a target=_top href=http://pub18.ezboard.com/fdtmonlinecomm ... s>RedSirus' Reviews</a></font><br><br><a target=_top href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Brainwashed Fishmonger</a> > <a target=_top href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/bxmenclan>Forum ... </p><i></i>

The source is available, so I doubt any nastyness is there or someone would find it. <p><head><link rel=stylesheet href="http://www.thzclan.com/gryphav.gif/gryphsig.css" type="text/css"></head><div align="left" id="gryphsig" *****"background-color: #0b3d3c"><hr color="#daae52"><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/gryphav.gif/sigs.php" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.thzclan.com/gryphav.gif"></a> <a href="http://www.thzclan.com/cam" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.thzclan.com/cam/gryphon/thb_ccam.jpg" border="0"></a><br><font size="1"><b><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/tcdb" target="_blank">Tribes Clan DB</a> - List your Tribes1/2 Clan, Guild, Fansite, League, or Script site<br><a href="http://www.thzclan.com/snooknet" target="_blank">SnookNet Web Design</a> - My web building adventures<br><a href="http://www.ryanaaron.com/dtm" target="_blank">Dragon Talon Mercenaries</a> - Online Gaming Guild<br><a href="http://www.planettribes.com" target="_blank">PlanetTribes</a> - Sp3ci@l pr0jekts</font></b><hr color="#daae52"></div></p><i></i>
