Scorched Earth is a shareware artillery video game. It was released for MS-DOS in 1991, originally written by Wendell Hicken using Borland C++ and Turbo Assembler. Players control tanks to do turn-based battle in two-dimensional terrain, adjusting the angle and power of each tank turret before each shot. Scorched Earth adds destructible terrain and a variety of extreme weapons to the artillery formula. Synopsis from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA.
