That experience is a badge of honor
I think I must have a setting wrong, I’m using Mlem but I can only see the title of the post. Is there a gif or othe media attached to this?
There's a photo of a tank game.
Scorched Earth was awesome, never got a lot done in computer classes at school because of it :)
Same here. We had this and a bunch of other games on our school computer and got very little done.
That game was the fucking best.
I don't remember it on dos but u remember it as a flash game.
I had that on my TI-85 too
Imagine growing up with the latest iPhone on you now. Can’t imagine the difference.

I saw the thumbnail and thought "Scorched Earth?"

I had it on my computer for a very long time, but it's not programmed to take the increased processing speeds of modern computers into account, so trying to play it on a current system is playing it on super extreme fast-forward.

There is always Scorched 3D. Available in a package manager near you.
Anyone remember the name of a space game from around that time , or maybe even bit earlier, was DOS at least. I think it was 3D view from cockpit, chasing and shooting others. I remember it was possible to multiplayer over LAN
Was after this game but Descent?
Oh man that game. So good.
Descent ?
Decent game!
I remembered playing this in our school's computer lab
I'm old enough to have hand coded a precursor to this on the Commodore Pet.
I remember the one with gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other
