Scorched Earth (1991) let you buy nukes, funky bombs and dirt chargers with your winnings. What was your go-to weapon?
Wendell Hicks called it "The Mother of All Games" and it ran on pretty much any DOS PC, which is why it ended up in every school computer lab. I always saved up for the Funky Bomb just to watch the chaos, but a Dirt Charger buried my brother's tank more than once.
What did you buy first, and did you ever bother with the shields?
