Barrage is a rather violent action game with the objective to kill and
destroy as many targets as possible within 3 minutes. The player
controls a gun that may either fire small or large grenades at
soldiers, jeeps and tanks. It is a very simple gameplay though it is
not that easy to get high scores.

Xscorch is a clone of the classic DOS game, "Scorched Earth". The basic
goal is to annihilate enemy tanks using overpowered guns. Basically, you
buy weapons, you target the enemy by adjusting the angle of your turret
and firing power, and you hope to destroy their tank before they destroy
yours.
network games are still a bit fishy..
