one of the first internet games i played was for amiga.. and it was a simple tank game.. (i forget the name) but it was immense fun.
its so much more fun playing against a human than the computer.. especially when you can mock them in text. |

Choose 'Close' to terminate the application." so um, ya, what does that mean?:help: [/b][/quote] Your file system is now NTFS... thats why your autoexec file is.NT. Older systems used FAT32 file structure. If you have a FAT32 partition on your HD, install it there and trying executing the file through your command prompt. |

They are listed in order from easy to hard, except for 1 type that stands for a random pick. I think that's tosser. In that case the computer randomly chooses a type.

Happy to see Scorch.exe back again! I bought a shareware disk from the computer store in the early 1990's and used to spend hours in front of my computer playing the game. I ran MS-DOS with Windows 3.1 added at some point in time.
When I found this forum and a chance to download Scorched Earth, I jumped at the chance! I spent the whole night and half the next day tinkering and tweaking both the game settings and the Windows Me shortcut. This game requires standard MS-DOS, and that is not supported by this version of Windows, it kept telling me, but I got it figured out and working on this "painfully slow" 1 GHz computer! I had to adjust settings in the game as if the computer was only a 10 MHz 386 or so it seems. I like the big explosions. A Plasma blast with ten batteries being discharged will grow to 2/3 the size of the screen, a big red ball that turns black and then red again for maybe 5 minutes, as it grows and grows. You can just imagine the radiation and the damage it is causing surrounding tanks. Don't be surprised if a tank blows up and takes you with it. I plan to try to install the game on my friend's XP computer. Not sure what I will come up with there, but I have seen some posts that give a glimpse of the possible problems. Cheers! |
