Pocket Tanks

[nobody]

Hey everyone, this is kinda like random and such... but moderately relevant.

I just downloaded this cool game called pocket tanks from here (http://www.blitwise.com/ptanks.html)
It's this really cool game where you have to decide the angle of trajectory(horrible spelling) and the power and your on alterable terrain and there is this huge amount of weapons and you can download expanisions and stuff.

It's like a really souped up old school game. Kinda like that one where the monkeys through bananas at eachother.. but I don't know if anyone ever played that other than me. Anyway, you should definately check it out, good time waster and highly addicting and I think it would be a cool if someone made a stripped down one in flash.

Sorry for rambling, but it's a fun game and I thought I'd share my happy little discovery:beam:

[nobody]

oh and if you feel this is too spam-like

[reverendflash]

How do I address you now Thoriphes... T? The mod formerly known as T?
Well anyway, I wasn't really mad or anything.. I swear

Don't hurt me, please?

[morse]

I want my title to be colored!

[thoriphes]

you were lucky you posted that quick, cause i was about to go banSHIZOWA on yo *****. :P

um, you can address me as " " if you want. "Master" also works as well as "Thoriphes", "thoriphes", "ThORiPHes", "t", "T", "Mr. T", (you get the point).

If you are ever concerned, "Sir" usually offends no one...

[morse]

hum... bold and white?

[thoriphes]

um, ok but that won't look too good on some backgrounds, namely the white ones.

[morse]

thats ok

[Alex]

hey Mr. T

why is there a "footer does not adhere to guidelines" in most of your posts?

[Jubba]

yeah, Thor why do you keep doing that?!

[morse]

hah it doesnt work for lowlies like me!

[Jubba]

it worked. I see your title bold and white. :)

[morse]

Oh hey cool its does!!! thanks Big T!

[thoriphes]

hm....must be a bug...

speaking of which, i changed my name (again...) because when i went to change morse's title, i accidentally clicked on the link to add him to my ignore list, so when i went to remove his name, you would do so normally by simply deleting his name and hitting update. but since i was known as a "space", it was thinking i was adding my name to my own ignore list. i knew that was a problem so i had to change...


oh yeah, if anyone else wants some modifications to their title as such, feel free to PM me or any other mod and they'll (hopefully) be glad to do it.

[Voetsjoeba]

Oeh, Me ME !!! :P:P:P LOL

[mlk]

anyway BACK TO THE ORIGINAL thread...


..ever played scorched earth ??? was like the best game i played when i was in middle school. Man i miss that DOS game. Tiny tanks - parachutes - caves...

[nobody]

i wanna play scorched earth.. that came up a lot in my searches and stuff..

i love these games

[morse]

that tanks one isnt too bad... i cant figure out how to target the targeted weapons

[prstudio]

the banana throwing game was Gorrillas and was programmed in Qbasic, along with Nibbles(the original snake game)

Qbasic was the first programming language i learned, well besides DOS you know...ahh the memories

Qbasic was the first programming language i learned, well besides DOS you know...ahh the memories LOL i used to play those exact two games on basic! those were the best! at first all the basic code eluded me (this was years ago) and all i knew how to do was compile it, and thus play. ah, those were the days.

anybody play Wacky Wheels?

[mdipi]

oh boy this is a good game! thanks for the link!

[kirupa]

This game is awesome....and so was Scorched Earth. I played SE only a few weeks ago at school - DeathHead and LeapFrog are really cool wpns =)

Thor: Yes, I played Wacky Wheels also. I got a CD of about 3500 shareware games (only about 100-200 were actually good) about 6-7 years ago. Included in that were cool games such as Wacky Wheels, Mystic Towers, Raptor, etc.

[mdipi]

RAPTOR! thats the flying game right? oh how i loved that game! endless 4th grade hours playing that game!

[nobody]

Man i miss all these old school games
i loved gorillas and nibbles
i think there should be an old-school game battle.. that would be awesome

[morse]

raptor was pimp!

[kirupa]

Hehe, I played the shareware as well Thor :) I also liked ALL the Commander Keen games - from the Vorticons to the more funky side-scrolling variation.

[nobody]

COMANDER KEEN!!!!!
OMG I loved that game soooooo much!!
haha.. I gotta get that again

[thoriphes]

haha, yeah, i still have all the commander keens on my computer somewhere...also remember the classic duke nukems? those were also beast.

[Niann]

Scorched Earth was cool, Gave me my first lesson in hex editing... Starting you with that little budget... What a tank piolet to do? Cheat... Ahh yes... =0)

Cheers!

[morse]

duke nukem!!! awsome!

[nobody]

*tear* I'm gettin all misty eyed *tear*

old school needs to make a come back

[Kitiara]

Don't know about QBasic, but RM Basic was the very first language I learned, about 10 years ago now... :)

[nobody]

I wish I was old enough to learn those languages back in the day..

sniffums

[Kitiara]

Are you calling me old? :P

RM Basic was great:

10 REM My Program
20 PRINT "Hello, press any key to continue"
30 INPUT A$
40 END

Ah, those were the days... :)

[nobody]

lol I don't get what that means

and what if I am calling you old, old chap?

[Kitiara]

I'm not old. :P

That was some RM Basic code to print a line of text on the screen, then accept a key press and end. :)

It's not my greatest work ever... :P

[Niann]

I think everyones first basic program was the same...

10 PRINT "I rule!!!!!!"
20 GOTO 10

=0)

Cheers!

[Guig0]

nope

[lava]

whoops... I didn't even read the thread... yeah. I played those games when I was learning how to program in QBasic..

[nobody]

all you old farts and your QBasic

[Soul]

I got the game but a problem. Do the tanks not die? :( Just points? Thats pretty sucky

- Soul :s:

[nobody]

yeah pretty much.. but its still fun

[Mik3]

THIS GAME IS GREAT! TEE HEHE

You don't even have to buy it! You only get a couple less weapons

[Delsaber]

Pocket Tanks is fun. :)

I made my own little version of it with QBasic. Of course it sucked, but it worked mind you... :|

[Delsaber]

Old farts!? I am only sixteen. QBasic is one of the few programming languages that my high school has to offer (Qbasic, Java, C++, VisualBasic, HTML). I have learned all of them by myself... So no help for me :\.

::waiting for a new programming language::
