    Shell Shock

    A crude imitation. Shell Shock has the whole progression scheme where your weapons get stronger and more diverse the more you play. Its basically applying the crappy “Call of Duty” formula and level up system to an old arcade game.


    The best modern version of Scorched Earth is probably the “Worms” series. Its got too much of a cartoon veneer though: exploding sheep and banannas… but the strategy is overall there. I did prefer the original Scorched Earth.

    I want Shell Shock without the level-up system (and probably without the wormholes as well). I mean… scratch that. I just want scorched earth again with online play.

    “GunBound” was an interesting twist from the 00s, a Koran game full of costumes / cute anime-like drawings and the like… you spawned with a single weapon based on the character you chose. It wasn’t balanced but it was fun trying to derp around with whatever weapon you got.
