#2This was a favorite game at my house when I was 11 or 12. Turn based multiplayer meant everyone could participate. :)

#3I spent so many hours on it. Then I got my first job, and one co-worker I worked closely with was: Wendell Hicken. One day he casually mentioned, I wrote Scorch, was a lot of fun to program. Only then I connected dots.

#5I lived playing scorched earth in high school with my friends.. One day, on a bout of nostalgia, I looked long and hard for a good scorched earth like game.
I found shellshock live on steam, I found that it was the closest experience to playing with my friends in high school. We even got to play a couple of rounds over the Internet.

#6I used to play this with my friends in the high school library, circa 1994-ish. The multiplayer worked pretty well, letting us share one computer and each take turns to play. A fond memory!

If you haven't played this, throw them a dollar, play it, then once you realise what utter brilliance it is send them more money to taste.
The only thing whose dueling ridiculosity is on a similar level of amazing is the early Worms games.

#10Scorched was amazing. I also had a lot of fun playing this 3d remake a few years ago. Might give it another shot now: http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/
