Play Scorched Earth Online

Scorched Earth is that classic DOS game where you lob missiles at your friends' tiny tanks while adjusting for wind and gravity. It's simple at first—just pick an angle and hope for the best—but then you discover the ridiculous arsenal: nukes, homing missiles, even a "death's head" that just deletes part of the terrain. Half the fun is watching the landscape get absolutely shredded by misfires.

The customization is wild too. You can crank up gravity until shots drop like rocks, or turn on meteor showers that randomly wreck everyone's day. My friends and I used to spend hours tweaking the settings just to see what chaos would unfold. And yeah, the "Mother of all Games" tagline is pure '90s edginess, but honestly? It kinda fits.

There's something weirdly satisfying about landing that perfect shot after five turns of barely missing.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
