are there any games similar to Scorched Earth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_Earth_(video_game)) for android??
I remember getting hella lot of fun back in 90s with it
Haha, man I'd love this too, I remember networking all our computers to play multiplayer in school... the nostalgia factor alone would make it worth 99 cents to me!

Did you even try to actually find it yourself? Because if you search "Scorched Earth" in the Market, Armored Strike is the first result....

doh.. true =) but sadly its more Worms-like than scorched-like...

God I wish there was a proper port with networked multiplayer

There's a page for a port at sourceforge but it appears to be dead and the files are gone. Too bad, the apps out there are OK but even the paid versions don't match the original. I wasted so much time on that game as a kid, I'd love to do it again.
Okay xda, need your help here. Situation is this. For an IT assignment, we are required to develop a game that is simple but addictive. No thanks to my sad imagination, I have no clue as to what to make. This is where you come in. Just post up what you think is a simple but addictive game. Here's the catch, it needs to be simple enough to complete in roughly 4-5 weeks worth of lessons, relatively trouble free to code in Pascal (sad I know, not my language of choice), and it has to be something that suits males and females aged 14-15. To aid in what I'm looking for, the simplicity of maybe Space Invader, Brick Breaker or maybe even something like Doodle Jump. Just post up what you think might be a fun game to play that's addictive. Love to see what people think.
formula one game where u can switch lanes and the others commin rite at ya ... maybe too simple but u can always spice it up with powerups , score and fuel consumption

WOW quick reply! Ok that's going on a list of possibilities. Much better than what I though of! lol
ouch, pascal!
not having done serious coding in it (only when at college we had maybe 1 hour on it - go figure)
racing idea is a good one, not sure how easy it would be, but with the option to have different vehicles/colours could be an option (just to expand on souljaboy)
but in my opinion - can never go wrong with tower defence!
As its for 14-15 yr olds, do it with STIs and condoms as the towers
yeah maybe a doodle jump like game or there this game i realy like where theres a round track and you click (touch screen) and it will go left slightly and the car is constantly getting faster and faster and you have to see how far you can get without touching the sides or a fly the copter like game
how about something like this (look at the gameplay)

Thanks for all the replies. There are some really good ideas coming through here. I just need to keep in mind that this has to be quite simple so physics engines are probably out of the question. Let alone not having access to them. If it helps, I'm looking for something that you would play in class when you are extremely bored and will quickly catch a trend. There are some really good suggestions. Thanks a lot.
I just thought of one that might be okay. What do you guys think about the world's most addictive game on the iphone? The one that has the red cube in the middle and you have to dodge the blue cubes that bounce off the walls.
haha that is Hard

Problem is that one is 3D. Delphi can't work with 3D because of how crappy it is. haha. I think I may do that box one I was talking about earlier.
something like this?
I couldn't possibly care less about these sort of games. This puts me in, I'd venture, less than 3% of the young male population of this country who can buy an Xbox or whatnot in the first place.

Homework or a public speaking competition? Sweet Idea, will post my arguments once others give me ideas

I've never liked racing, shooting, or sports games, which I've found doesn't sit well with most men my age (22). Just wondering what fellow techies think.
Usually I get a "wow, I can't believe another human being has different tastes than me" response. I don't think I've ran into a "Wow you're so gay" response but it's only a matter of time. =/

Yep same. I'm different to everyone in my school. Everyones got iphoned, I got a Desire, now everyones jealous haha.. anyways, I like racing and shooting games. Just the real ones. CoD and GT not things like killzone or WoW. Though I don't play often, every 2–3 weeks maybe, I do enjoy some adrenalin pumping through my veins when I due just begore the end of the mussion. It makes me more determined to finish correctly the next time etc..
Everyones always asking me when I'm online next to play a bit of CoD or whatever and I just don't understand how you can become addicted to something that doesn't actually exist. Well it does but not really, you know what I mean : )

LOL been a gamer for too long. But I have never told anyone that they were "gay" because they didn't like to game.
But.. usually they were women.
well im different to everyone in my school.
most of the lads in my year like football and cod.
"medal of honor- is ****"
"driving games - ****"
"every other game apart from cod and fifa- is ****"
i have been called gay because i have long hair and i like rock music and drum and bass (and others).
i think the reason they call you gay is because they don't like people that are different and like other things.
about 1 year ago everyones phones where sony ericssons (crap ones)
and samsung tocco lites (horrible)
but 1 lad had a t-mobile g1.
i had my 7 year old htc himalaya brick (excellent phone)
now quite a few have htc's desires, hero, legend. (and obviously don't know about xda (what a pitty))
people seem to follow other people and call you weird because you are not following.
sorry if i drifted off topic.
i like driving games, fps (half-life excellent!!)
im a gran turismo guy i love that game, i also enjoy a nice helping of cod now and then too, i cant stand football soccer or basketball games though
COD - meh
FIFA - meh
GT5 - drool
Well, an explanation is warranted for the above...
I never really got the hang of FPS games in multiplayer, mostly because I used to pwn at CounterStrike and Half-Life, but a hiatus during my formative days (read, TEENAGE) lost my edge in FPS games. Mostly I will check out the single player experience, and if it gains enough traction amongst my friends, I'll get the original copy. Mostly, for group enjoyment purposes, we game L4D if we wanna play FPS. I'm just waiting for Crysis 2 (as an excuse to upgrade my Gfx card more than anything else )
FIFA... well... is a game for douchetards who imagine that they have the skills needed to take Leo Messi/CR to whatever glories that in real life they couldn't achieve (both for the gamers and the players). Simply said, it gives little to none benefits, and merely act as an escapement and commercial device. For the more serious guys, we play futsal, which is like football played in a netball field. Pacing is fun, especially since players with less stamina can join in and height doesn't bring that much of a benefit (read, GIRLS CAN PLAY TOO). And for the brainiacs, we play Football Manager 2011.
GT5 is going to be something of a old history for me. It's more of a nostalgia device than something of real enjoyment. Back in the days, me and my brother played GT1, GT2, GT3, and probably GT4. To my brother, who is an engineer by now, it is the most accurate depiction of a car on the race-track. I'll skip the nostalgia bit... Anyway, since neither of us own a PS3, and neither of us plans to own a PS3, this game will forever reside in the droolworthy section of our hindbrains, possibly forever.
The problem with me is I'm probably in the less than 0.05% zone. I'm a self-professed geek that likes to party and do sports. I could, enjoyably, spend the afternoon tinkering with my PC/phone or just dump everything to hang out with friends, chilling out and maybe finding the answers to life (we checked, its not 42).
So gaming is cool and all that, but it's not the be all and end all for me
Gotta say... I love GT5 lol. I think I like it more than GT3 or 4 because I'm actually trying now lol. I used to have a Game Shark, Code Breaker, and Action Replay to cheat my way to having (basically) infinite cash, the AI guys wouldn't move, and every car would have like 16x acceleration lol. It made it fun cause I could get what I wanted when I wanted, but ruined the sense of accomplishment needed to make it feel way better. I actually HAVE to try and succeed in this now, which is awesome imo.
Call of Duty is cool, but I'm not into it as much anymore as I am with GT5 now.
FIFA is a game I'll never play. I don't do sports, nor like them; especially soccer.

Haha, I hope I'm reading your implications right: b/c size isn't an issue, women can play the sport side-by-side with men. The other implication would be a little... off-putting. >.<

Sorry I paraphrased your Quote
1) Nothing wrong with Long Hair and playing Bass. I did both for a long time - but now the hair fell out and I play a little guitar (i.e. it stares at me taunting me on the wall collecting dust due to RL stealing all my time)
2) Your unique... just like everybody else
3) Half Life is probably the BEST GAME EVER. And I'm a sucker for driving games. I haven't purchased GT yet as I know my wife would kill me while I was going around the track at 4am.
YOU DON'T LIKE THOSE GAMES!!! wow!!, i didn't know another human being could have such different taste to me.
But seriously 'normal' at my school is f'd up compared to everybody elses, screamo metalheads and emos rule the street and jocks are considered to be on the same level as the scum you find in public toilets... its a weird place.
Im lucky anyway because im a self admitted nerd at school but for some strange reason nobody believes me? (WTF's with that!?!) Which is especially strange considering people are paying me to set up snow leopard hackintosh on their pc's.
My favorite shooter is Gears o' War 2 (can't really call it fps), but, uh, what do you guys think of bioshock? I personally don't like it, much to the disdain of all my friends who are obsessed with it.

Wow, that is strange. At my school there was no "jock" contingency either, but why would there necessarily have to be, stereotypes are stereotypes.
What IS indeed common to probably every school ever are cliques. I'm guessing it's the 'us vs. them' mentality that's so crucial to so many living things.

Soccer is the worst game (notice I didn't call it a sport) in the history of mankind.
So with the upcoming winter of game releases coming the FPS fanbois are out in force. Who will be playing the new COD Modern Warfare 3? Who will be playing Battlefield 3?
Personally... I'll play both. COD on Console and BF on the puter.
Well ill most likely be getting mw3 much later after bf3. I'm more of a fan for bf3. I really enjoyed bad company 2. I currently have black ops, but it is just too darn easy for me. I get roughly 30-40 kills per game and around 10 or so deaths. Cod is more of a "run and gun" kinda game. I enjoy strategic, intense gameplay that urges me to stay alive. I enjoyed the story line of cod black ops though. Was awesome!

This is an easy question. Both. They have their merits, and no doubt will both be fun. Let the peasants duke it out re: which is better. You can then laugh at how poor they are, since they can only purchase one game they bash the other one.

Bf3 for ps3!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Haters are gonna hate.... my only concern with both is going to be gameplay.
Sure BF:3 is going to have the most awesomest uber graphics in the WORLD (according to EA/Dice) - but is the gameplay going to be somewhat balanced without the past BF:2 bugs?
And with MW:3 - it seems more like MW:2.5 - they just took out a couple of perks people were *****ing about - and introduced more OP junk the game didn't need.
... At least the Quick Scopers will be happy to have their Barrett back.
I'll be getting BF:3 on release - and will wait for my nephew to get MW:3 for XBox
I'm gonna get Battlefield 3 for the computer and my friend is gonna get MW3 for the PS3. I'm a sucker for graphics so thats why I'm gonna get BF3 and I did love Battlefield 2 and Bad Company 2, but I don't mind playing MW every once in a while with my friends to kill time and drink.
BF3 and MW3 if possible, but I won't get any of them for months. I'll be busy DESTROYING people on Gears of War 3. There's a reason they're called EPIC games.
But out of the two, BF3 by far.
BF3 the trailer is just awesome

Thx for the lols
Mw3 is just gunna be mw2 with new features that just ruin the game, It will still be fun, but I think BF3 is gunna be a new game and a new experience. Dice makes good games.
will buy COD MW3, but i will test BF:3 too in BF2 i love the golfcart ^^
Battlefield 3 <3
I hope both games are good but mw3 makes me nervous as mw2 was the worst game of the series IMO.
i'm moore COD fan but lately i bought BF2 and this game have something more in it. But i think i will be playing both of them (everything depends of money ) Such a shame that the graphics in PS3 is a bit worst than in PC edition
bf3...
actually make that anything from DICE
im just this picky xD

We see it every day in the console industry. You cant spit in a game stop store without hitting some game that's basically a remake of an older successful game. I could basically type up a huge list of remade games, but I'll settle for saying to look away from the 3DS section.
My question is, where's the love for classic PC games? I would kill to play the real Bauldar's Gate games (not those playstation 2 Diablo wannabes...), or Fallout on my phone, or perhaps some other platform.
I'm not saying that remakes are a bad thing, as if it were a sign of an industry with flagging innovation. Many of these games are great stories, and rightfully ought to be passed on...
