Gameplay and Legacy
Scorched Earth has had a lasting impact on gamers, with many crediting it as their first experience with hacking and software versions.
9 year old me got my first ‘hacking’ experience out of this game. With the shareware version, you could not select the ultra tank that could shoot 3 bullets for a human, but you COULD if it were the computer player.
Player Memories
Players have fond memories of the game, including its addictive gameplay and satisfying explosions.
Mother of all games. Played so much SE when I was younger, one of my all time favs. This version is ok but I prefer the original which is easy enough to run via dos-box, emulators of similar ilk or even online in a few places.
Some players even had the opportunity to meet the game’s creator, with one person recalling a conversation with the VP of engineering who mentioned writing Scorch in college.
In my first job after graduation in a small company I was talking to the VP of engineering, and he mentioned offhand: ‘yeah, I wrote Scorch when I was in college’. Mind blown.
