Behold! The self-proclaimed Mother of All Games!

Scorched Earth, by Wendell Hicken, was released as shareware in 1991. It wasn't going to win awards for groundbreaking graphics, yet it's one of the best multiplayer games ever - highly addictive with endless replay value.

It let you customize a huge range of settings, from gravity, wind, and meteor showers to many others. Building on earlier games like QBasic Gorillas, it took the concept to a much higher level, supporting up to 10 players with far greater complexity and variety.

You set angle and power to aim, with a wide choice of weapons (unlike the banana in QBasic Gorillas, for anyone who remembers).

Computer-controlled enemies ranged from difficulty 1 (Moron) to 10 (Cyborg). No other game has named its lowest difficulty level so perfectly!

Wendell Hicken, the Quentin Tarantino of game developers!

@sotch_desu @blind_via We did this for a couple 100A traces. Worked really well. AC line on the top side, AC neutral on the bottom side.
