You might take a look at Frontal Assault since the Amos source code is available.  It takes a bit more memory and download time but it is definitely worth it if you have a system with 2 megs of chip ram and 2 megs of fast.

And as for Scorched Earth, that was the original PC version but it hasn't been maintained for a decade.

Also, Scorched Tanks version 1.85 had a bug in it when you were using one particular land formation because it would make transparent dirt so as soon as you cracked through the shell at the top you would fall far down to the bottom of the scrolling area!  1.75 was the last bug-free version.

Scorched Earth was the PC game that spawned all of the others.  Scorched Tanks was one of the Amiga spin-offs.  I played it until I downloaded Frontal Assault which was better because it allowed more than 4 tanks at a time.  Both are written in AmosPro so there may be some hope at running them again in the future as Mattathias Basic becomes more useful.
