I really do have a very bad short term memory; (<em>mainly because of the drugs I think</em>), though when I checked out the link via the synopsis I did remember what you&#39;d said; but for some reason I thought it was only applicable to the synopsis. (Yeah vey short sighted of me). As for most of the post being Deleted ...... no problems wizzard, luckily I did have the original review. I started to save them from around Xmas onwards, so have re done all the coding again. I noticed you&#39;d redone some of it, but I didn&#39;t notice until i&#39;d completely redone it for myself. Took quite some time, so Wednesdays games are a little late.</p> <p>I&#39;ll have the original post back up with the new coding when i&#39;ve finished it. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4923#post-64088 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:42:15 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 64088@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>links are fixed =) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4923#post-64086 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:25:22 +0000 g@rgoyle 64086@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Uhm ... Whabbit? ...

Details of the following mod’s can be found via the link below. Download links will be found either on the mod’s specific page or in the forums. I wasn’t able to find all the mod’s downloads, but then I didn’t look very hard as this is just an update.

The graphics are better than what you see in the low resolution videos I’ve provided. There’s also several mod’s you can download from one of the links provided below, so the game is very expandable. Thanks pavid. Your timely email was very much appreciated. :)</p> <p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Scorched Earth</strong> (47.4Mb)</p> <p><blockquote>Scorched 3D is a modernization of the classic DOS game Scorched Earth &quot;The Mother Of All Games&quot; on which it is based. Scorched 3D incorporates a lively three dimensional landscape that includes animated jets, naval vessels, water, and even birds, in addition to detailed tanks and projectiles. Other enhancements include LAN and internet play and music. Scorched 3D is totally free to play and is available for both Microsoft Windows and Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris etc.) operating systems.</p> <p><center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/scorched%203D/scorched3D010.jpg"></center></p> <p><center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/scorched%203D/scorched3D002.jpg"></center></p> <p>Scorched 3D is a simple turn-based artillery game and also a real-time strategy game in which players can counter each others&#39; weapons with other creative accessories, shields and tactics. Learn skill in timing, aiming and judgment, move around on the landscape, or even out-smart your opponent economically.</p> <p>Learning how to play is easy, just point the turret, adjust power and trajectory, select a weapon - and shoot! Manage your inventory of weapons with the prize money you can win during each round of combat. Learn the basic controls using the tutorial mode, or set up your own game by customizing dozens of economy and environmental conditions to your liking, or simply play online immediately at one of the various public servers. </p> <p>You can play with up to twenty four other players at a time, mixing computer players with humans on both randomly generated 3D landscapes and user designed maps. Scorched3D comes bundled with Apocalypse mod, which offers enhanced levels of weaponry and additional user designed maps and also offers an active online community of players making models, maps and mod’s for the game.</p> <p>Scorched 3D is a game based loosely (or actually quite heavily now) on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth “The Mother Of All Games”. Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and Internet play. Scorched 3D is totally free and is available for both Microsoft Windows and Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris, etc.) operating systems. You can pick up the game and begin playing very quickly. Then, when/if you are interested, you can poke in the dimmer recesses of the game and get into the strategy (or just ignore it altogether!). </p> <p><center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/scorched%203D/rollercoaster006.jpg"></center></p> <p>At its lowest level, Scorched 3D is just an artillery game with two+ tanks taking turns to destroy opponents in an arena. Choose the angle, direction and power of each shot, launch your weapon, and try to blow up other tanks. That’s basically it. But Scorched 3D can be a lot more complex than that, if you want it to be. You can earn money from successful battles and use it to invest in additional weapons and accessories. You can play with up to twenty four other players at a time, mixing computer players with humans. There’s a variety of changing environmental conditions and terrains to be dealt with. After the end of each round (which ends when everybody dies or there’s only one person left), you get to buy stuff using the prize money you won from previous levels.</blockquote></p> <p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Additional Resources for Scorched Earth</strong>: </p> <p><strong>Reviews worth reading</strong>:</p> <p><a href="http://freemedia.realgage.com/scorched-3d-v42.html"><strong>Check out a decent review of Scorched 3D HERE</strong></a></p> <p>There is a site with a number of mod’s as well as an extensive though unofficial wiki. </p> <p><a href="http://scorched3d-mods.sourceforge.net/"><strong>Get modifications for the game HERE</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Video</strong>:</p> <p><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4134245987747704408"><strong>Watch video of game play HERE</strong></a></p> <p><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3402527611605524803&amp;hl=en"><strong>Watch video of game play HERE</strong></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_A02O7LIxo&quot;"><strong>Watch video of game play HERE</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Images</strong>:</p> <p><center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/scorched%203D/scorched3D003.jpg"></center></p> <p><center><br /> <img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/scorched%203D/scorched3D008.jpg"></center></p> <p>You can also access several more screen captures and other information from the following link</p> <p><a href="http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/screens.php"><strong>See more images of Scorched 3D HERE</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Download links</strong>:</p> <p><a href="http://www.download.com/Scorched3D/3000-7483_4-10279647.html?part=6254543&amp;subj=dlpage&amp;tag=button&amp;cdlPid=11009517"><strong>Get Scorched 3D HERE</strong></a></p> <p><a href="&quot;&quot;&quot;//www.fileplanet.com/156184/150000/fileinfo/Scorched-3D-?r=5&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;"><strong>Get Scorched 3D HERE</strong></a></p> <p><a href="&quot;&quot;&quot;//www.acid-play.com/download/scorched-3d/&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;"><strong>Get Scorched 3D HERE</strong></a></p> <p>Get the latest version (v42.1) of Scorched 3D <a href="http://www.scorched3D.co.uk/"><strong>HERE]</a> There’s versions for windows, Mac and several flavors of Linux</p> <p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Scorched3D is based on the DOS original [b]Scorched Earth[/b and can be downloaded from <a href="&quot;&quot;&quot;//www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/144&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;"><strong>Get the original Scorched Earth HERE</strong></a>.

Anywho, I was searching for a topic on this and just now found it. I see that it is old and wanted to let you all know that if you have ATI and dont mind downloading Steam; you can still get Half Life 2 Lost Coast and Half Life 2 Deathmatch completely free. Also, these are the full versions of these. Not a demo or the likes. I do not have Half Life... well.. anything and downloaded this and was able to play (if you want to call my itchy-trigger fingered, clumbsy, falling of the walls way playing). Here is the link that I have for it. I clicked to get it, downloaded steam, registered a logon, and they downloaded with no problems. </p> <p><a href="http://ati.amd.com/buy/promotions/lostcoast/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://ati.amd.com/buy/promotions/lostcoast/index.html</a></p> <p>hope someone else can benefit from this,<br /> ibwebb</p> <p>P.S. I think the Lost Coast part might be a NEW add on to this. Deathmatch seems to need others to join in, but Lost Coast seemed to be me (killing myself while the AI laughed). </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4421#post-49853 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 11:58:44 +0000 RunesageMagik 49853@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>For future ref, <strong>HandyTech</strong>, tis always better to provide a URL that doesn't go directly to the download itself, so that people can read any intro/specs/reviews rather than be faced with an autodownload.
