Gathering around the very pre-internet (actually I think pre-windows) computer to play scorched earth.
It's got real physics! Look at the holes filling in!
It wasn't pre-Windows, but it was a DOS game as were most games at the time because they needed more ram or wanted to not run like dogshit. I always felt like Scorched Earth was just "let's make GORILLAS.BAS into an actual game!"
All I could think of was having to execute it from DOS. It's been a long time. Now I play Worms, lol
Worms, in its various versions, are all way better of course.
Concrete donkey your ass
Same game with updated graphics and controls.
I'd say that the Worms games aren't just the same game as gorillas.bas, scorthed earth, etc. You could move around, get items, different weapons, all sorts of stuff.
I started playing Worms W.M.D. recently. I started on Worms World Party. I was like 7 when it came out. I played Worms 3D and Worms 4 Mayhem too. I still can't believe Worms 3 came out 2003...
It's basically cavemen huddling around the fire vs having a fireplace in your house.
