Some of the most fun you can have with your trousers on!

Though I must admit that its derivative game, the Worms series, where much better...

That game was awesome! I loved that... "off the mag-deflector, over the mountian, and onto the poor schmuck in the valley..."

Ahem. Worms is the derivative series. Scorched Earth originated when VGA was barely a standard.

Between your inabillity to read & my inabillity to type misunderstandings are likely to be commonplace...

Scorched Earth was so cool.

I remember the wonders of the mighty funky bomb.

Heh. I still play with friends.

"Prepare to ingest flaming justice, metallic ne'do'ell!"
"Never! I hoped you slept well for tonight you face your inevitable collapse!"
"Bwahaha! Defcon One, GO!"
"Aarg! Shields failing! Switching power to tertiary reactors!"

And so on. Incidentally, I remember this really cool old DOS Star Trek game where you would go throughout the quadrants, and click on enemies to shoot, and there were space-spiders, and romulans, and cloaks, and starbases, and it was really cool. I found something called WinTrek, but it requires you to do some sort of weird calculation just to raise the frickin' shields.

Know where I can get it?

It did have color, though, and graphics; the Enterprise looked kinda like the enterprise, the screen was blue, the starbases were little green boxes...

No, but I have the C++ source code in storage?, Not on disk mind you.

I have the CODE, in a three ringed binder, full of print outs, from when we tried to key it into the College Comp Sci labs several years ago.

You actually transcribed the entire program? Wow you had some spare time.
