Scorched 3D - Free Turn Based Strategy Game

Tuesday February 24, 2009
This game offers fun and entertainment at various levels. In its simplest form you shoot artillery from your tank at your enemies, trying to blow up as many as you can. Unlike the original DOS game Scorched Earth, which was the motivation behind this game, Scorched 3D provides three-dimensional graphics and sound. It features a 3D island and a large choice of landscapes and weapons.

In more advanced game modes you can make money from successful fights and invest in more weapons, etc. You can play against the computer or against other gamers over the internet. Scorched 3D is under active development. It is free and open source software and has been downloaded more than two million times. Most Linux distributions make it available through their packaging distribution systems. For information on how to install it on Ubuntu Linux, see here.
