Some people prefer Worms, or Scorched Earth 3D. Good for them. They can play those games, and I'll stick with this good 'ol version. For its day, Scorched Earth really did shine, and upped the ante by which other cannon style games would work. So, games like Worms owe their life to Scorched Earth, much like the son does his father.

for me scorched earth will always be the better version of QBasic Gorillas, where pixel gorillas throw explosive bananas at one another.

This game is not abandonware.

I just found the official homepage for the game. It is at - http://www.whicken.com/scorch/index.html . If you truly appreciate such a fun game, give him a donation to show him your appreciation.

For me Scorched Earth don´t needs Save/Load Options, but maybe it have some kind of bug.

I have an early version, maybe the first one from 1991, played it in 1993-4, and didn´t remember Save/Load options, but I never need it, it´s for funny and relative fast plays, like 3 or 4 plays in a seat at least in that time playing alone. For maybe 10-15 minutes that last a game, I don´t mind the save option.

But also greatest game with friends around back in time, then the game shone!

Edit:

I was thinking about the Save greyed button after look at my own screenshot, and I think that the button called "Save Changes" means that if you change the options; like number of players, gravity, landscape, with thunders or not, money for each player, etc...then you can actually save that changes, then when you restart Scorched Earth the changes are loaded and that´s the reason because the button is grey. It´s not to save games, is for save the options!.

I can't load saved games

Anyone know why? I can save games, but when I restart scorch, the restore button is greyed out. Thanks in advance!

Game of my childhood. I think in first Scorched gfx is not so important as entire idea of gameplay. Pure classic!

By the way, does any version of old Scorched supports soundblaster?

I have not checked that. Simply leave it at 5000, my default that works well for most games. But the problem don't seem to be the speed, as it does not respond sometimes and simply crashes, grable the screen or somewhat similar.

Anyway, I don't care by this by now, win98se runs it with no problems at all. Maybe in the future when i decide to degrade to winXP i will worry on this.
