<div class="IPBDescription">Remake of an old DOS game</div> I was wondering if anyone else played the remake online. Heres the link to the official website. <a href='http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/' target='_blank'>http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/</a>

I think this games graphics are on par with C&C generals what do you think.

I was wondering if anyone could make a turret or siege turret or offence chamber model.

    There are a couple of 3d scorched earth type games out there, but I haven't played this one. The other one I played had some nasty compatability issues. This one looks fairly promising, however. Downloading now.

    i played this game last year, when it was still sort-of-beta. the graphics were decent, although kind of simplistic light shaders on the water, but it was pretty smooth. I was kind of disappointed that there were no napalm/laser/earth moving weapons back then, so i stopped...but it looks like they put it back in.

    $$!

    Scorched Earth was nice. I remember some 3d remake from a while ago but never really followed it at all. If this one has nice graphics, I might try it out. C&C General quality sounds neat.

    Eeeee, Scorched Earth! This is why I love lurking here. Does anyone have a mirror of the original, because I'm not waiting 40 minutes just to download a 600kb file. =/ Hopefully this "Version 1.5" will work better. Rendering was slow as hell in Windows 98 and I just get instacrash to the desktop in XP.

    <a href='http://www.pinggames.com/gameinfo.php?id=263' target='_blank'>Try this.</a>
    Click on the words "PC Version" under the picture(s) to download.
    Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on my computer, whenever a projectile is shot it teleports to where it should hit, and then continues extreeeeeeeeeemely slowly THROUGH the ground, and makes a hideous noise at the same time.

    I used to love scorched earth. I have the original (non downloaded) on a floppy disk somewhere.

    The link in the first post doesn't seem to work, so I'll assume <a href='http://scorched3d.sourceforge.net/index.php' target='_blank'>this</a> is it.

    EDIT: Fixed strange Engrish.

    I was partial to Tank Wars myself <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> though scorched earth was probably more sophisticated...

    so is this anything like Worms 3D? I can't get the website to work btw <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    mmmmmmmmm.

    this is so much better than that piece of crap, gunbound.

    /me hates on GB some more.

    @DZ: it's openGL rendered scorched earth, with much better graphics than 3d worms, at least the one i'm thinking about. neat water ripple/light reflection effects, cool landscaping (with trees! that look halfway decent). i like the camera rotation/zoom thing, it's just so cool <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    DOSbox r teh sux
    I can hit my <> key and get the appropriate symbol, but when I try to put a Å I get a bracket. And I can't make \'s since Alt Gr isn't supported, meaning I can't mount anything.

    Can't you just press the "\" key like a normal person? Anyways, just put the mount instructions in the target box of a shortcut to the DosBox exe and put a dash in front of it.

    NO, because I don't have an AMERICAN KEYBOARD
    hmpf.
    So I put "-mount c c:\directory" (without quotes) in the target field? Doesn't work.
    EDIT: Odd. Suddenly scorched earth works. Not using dosbox.

    That's no excuse, if you're too lazy to temporarily set your keyboard to one with a sensible layout, then I can't help you [edit]ok, so maybe I <i>can</i> help you [/edit].

    edit: Ok, I see that you probably don't need DOSBox anymore, but if you still want to use it and don't want to change your keyboard settings, forget about the stuff I said earlier and just look for a file called "dosbox.conf" and search for "autoexec" and put your mounting commands under there.
