At 72,300, going into Round 11.

Aw, man, they're throwing helicopters in there. And they hover. This isn't going to be pretty.

Ha! HA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got 'em both! Just broke 80 grand!

Damn. *GAME OVER*

87,800 on Round 11, two targets left. I hate it when that happens. Not bad after just my second game, I suppose. It's been ages, but I used to be the Mack Daddy of 'Scorched Earth.'

Did the first round in 8 shots.

I played the primitive version of that at the Naval Academy in the Summer of 1976, before my Senior year of H.S. I was at a “come look at the USNA” event for a week, in the Computer Science department.

Who’s you favorite U.S. President from the last 50 years?

I’m afraid Kennedy will beat Reagan.

THANKS!

It’s neck and neck between Kennedy and Reagan but unbelievably Clinton is in the lead.

TOOOOOO many sheeple

fun game, i remember playing the BASIC version of this game about 15 years ago.
it was two monkey throwing bananas at each other over a city scape.. except you could break the buildings in that one. for real fun you could alter the gravity :)

“two monkey throwing bananas “

I remember that one, too! In computer years, I am pretty old.
