I used to invite my friends over, then I'd purchase nothing but the Funky Bomb. Everyone got blown up at once, including me.

Massive fun.

a shareware amiga copy of this game was "scorched tanks".
as for that 3d remake, i tried it and it didnt add anything to the gameplay, it just made it harder to play

I second that... nothing beats the original Scorch.

And a hint for the addicts (though I bet they'll know it already): when your opponent uses force shields (the pink ones), shoot under such angle that your projectile bounces onto the shield 3 times.
A personal favourite of mine is the laser, if you can get close enough

GAHHHH I dled it, and unzipped the file "scorch.exe" and it says it can't run on my computer. Is this normal????

NOTE: the last time i played this game was in 1995 or so:P LOL so i feel like an idiot because the 5 year old me is more computer-savvy than i am LOL

it says
"C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\SCORCH.EXE
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."

so um, ya, what does that mean?:help:

One of the best old school war games ever made...

Its saying the exact same thing for me. Wherever I move the program it says that it is not an acceptable source for the file or some such.

Just a guess: maybe it's a folder name older DOS programs can't handle (too long, containing spaces,...)?
