I loved Scorched Earth! Don’t know anyone else who ever played it.

Star Control II lives on as "The Ur-Quan Masters":
"The project started in August 2002, when Toys For Bob released the partially ported sources of Star Control 2 3DO version to the fan community. Our goal is to port this wonderful game to current personal computers and operating systems. It is and will remain 100% free of charge, and anyone can contribute to the project and thus help make it even better. For more information, look at our info page."

Works on most modern operating systems and even has community add-ons and remixes.
I can instantly recall the strange beeper sound effects of some of the powerful weapons that would blast multicolored noise everywhere.

Played a lot of Scorched Earth, both single- and multi-player.
