The guy I sit next to at work is lead developer of this, and I said I'd have a peek at modding some stuff into it, so I decided to advertise it a bit as well :) 

It's basically ScorchedEarth in 3D (duh).  Which in turn was the ancestor of Worms (namely, static tanks firing at each other over hills)

Let's see...

Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

I played this a few years ago. Pretty nice, although it didn't really match the style of the original. I think I still have it on my computer.

This game doesn't translate well into 3D for me - I'd prefer a remake of the original, except with slightly better graphics and in a way that actually worked on modern machines ;)

But on the plus side it has my favorite weapon: The Funky Bomb :D

The old one still works great; just run it through Dosbox. I played a quick game with my brother just yesterday. (the winner was a moron AI who I had given a triple shot tank :rolleyes:)

...which in turn was the successor of the good old "Gorillas" (or was it "Banannas"?) game programmed in Basic back in the early-90's. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I have an older version somewhere; like most such games, the computer was either way too good or just totally moronic. Maybe it's changed, I'll check again.

both are acurrate, i remember scorched earth well, i introduced it to the school, a lot of lunchtimes and our electronics/computer classes were wasted by simply annihilating each other with whatever came handy, i hacked the starting cash so we could just go nuts with whatever we please ;)

I remember the old one. We played in school like madmen (about 4-9 ten year old at the computer trought the whole day). Then ****ing thieves stole our 486's. So we got new pentiums, and the game was no fun anymore. I was so great to wait 5 seconds to see if the shots hits the neighbours tank (phiiuuuuu.... poks). But the new pentiums were too fast (piupok... what?). So we never played tha game again...

I play the old scorch while I was still with a 486 and DOS, years ago of course. Anyways I still can play it through DosBox.

I found Scorched3D about a year before the SCP, it has a lot of work done, there are many effects, I get impressive at the conversion the 1st time I see it (excellent graphics, but by that time my video card was injured by the low FPS, specially in Simultaneous Mode)

It's a good looking and interesting game, but I just don't think anything was added to it by making it 3D. Kudos to the guy for doing it though :)

 
If you check either in the official Scorched3D or in the Apocalypse MOD, you will see there are buildings, and there new weapons effects, like Acid, Meteor strike (kind of worm's armageddon attack), and the EMP and Electric weapons, while others remains very much like the same, like the shields, the mag type, the spheric type, and the reflector one.

But yes in overall it tries to resemble the original, but if you pay attention you may see there are things that were never available in scorched earth.
