I 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.
I was in college when this game was released. I spent countless hours playing with my roommates.
The game holds up to this day for boys under 12. After that, maybe they expect better graphics, but my experience is that interest wanes.
Yes! Epic Scorched Earth battles happened on my dorm floor. The only thing more competitive was getting into the leaderboard for Mute City on F-Zero.
There’s a clone on the iOS marketplace, but it has ads - I’d easy pay $7.99.
There’s probably quite a few retro games that could be rebooted from this era - it has inter generational appeal among older players who grew up in that era. Might work well on the Apple Arcade ecosystem.
Connected dots - with a MIRV, right?
...or a funky bomb.
