I am kinda too young to play the original but as I love worms I also like this. Nice game. How similar is it to the original?

Thank you. We could say that it is more inspired by original than copy of original

It's close, but it doesn't quite capture the old DOS pixelated gradients aesthetic.

It also doesn't (yet?) capture the meta-game that was the biggest part of playing scorch in my youth: when you killed a tank it would pop up random insults, and the insults file was just a text file so your local file would eventually be full of in jokes and personal insults for you and your friends.

This copy of the shareware demo is also browser playable: https://dos.zone/scorched-earth/

Nice job - you might be interested, but the original creator of Scorch Earth has also recently rebooted it for the web as well!
