old school gamers need help naming game!!

[ku_med]

Ok, so this game just drips nastalgia for me but can't think of the damn name! i played it on an old ass ibm computer back in the early 90's. you have your military base on one side of the screen, the computer has their base on the other side. the objective is to score a hit on their base. you could do this by selecting different types of "bombs" that could do anything from cluster bombing to adding land mass. you selected your bomb, chose the trajectory and bombs away. then the computer did the same, back and forth, until one base was hit.

game sounds kind of gay but man its been driving me crazy. i think it was on ebaumsworld.com at one point but i didnt see it last night. very obscure, random game but dont fail me now, i know there's some hardcore, knowledgeable gamers out there on wbb!

scorched earth?

edit: there is a game called tanks that is the newer version. i'm not sure what sites have it but it's on a few of them.

I love scorched earth.

They made a 3d game called scorched planet that was a pretty cool game, but completely different category than the original.

Also there's a site somewhere... scorch2000 or something where you can play online and it's just like the original scorched earth.. for those with newer computers and no way to run the old game.
