| Many, many moons ago, the larger part of the PC users, had a small nifty program called QBasic. On it, we played games like Nibbles, (these days infidels refer to it as 'Snake') and Gorilla. Gorilla was a simple game, two gorillas would stand on tall skyscrapers, with the goal to kill each other with exploding bananas. The user would play one of the monkeys, enter the angle and velocity to throw the banana with, and hope for the best. |

The simple but very addicting gameplay kept me sticking to the screen for hours on end. This specific genre has always been a bit of an underdog, with a small, but steady group of fans. Even though Gorilla came out before Scorched Earth, the latter has always taken the credit for being the starter of the genre. But then again, it deserves a title like this, other than the self-proclaimed 'Mother Of All Games' title.
Scorched Earth works with the same principle as Gorilla. |
