Talk:Scorched Earth

A genre?

What genre would games like this fit? They are all clones of an older game, I can't recall what it is though. But the clones of it would be worth listing somewhere. What a vague message, I know. -- Mason11987 ^{(Talk - Contributions)} 12:32, 14 October 2006 (CDT)

They're only clones in the sense that this is the one that spawned the genre. It's like when people stopped saying Doom clone and started saying FPS. --Shadowsithe 13:30, 14 October 2006 (CDT)

According to Wikipedia, they're loosely "turn-based artillery" games. --DrBob (Talk) 12:57, 14 October 2006 (CDT)

So new cat or put games like pocket tanks in...something? -- Mason11987 ^{(Talk - Contributions)} 13:07, 14 October 2006 (CDT)

The title 'Scorched Earth' doesn't really sound like a category title, But I asume it could be. Should this category be created, even though there is really only one game that fits the category? 0-172 18:24, 14 October 2006 (CDT)

I think we should create an artillery category. --DrBob (Talk) 13:42, 14 October 2006 (CDT)

And so it exists. -- Mason11987 ^{(Talk - Contributions)} 09:59, 15 October 2006 (CDT)
