It’s been a few years but I remember some unofficial patches that improved the game for modern times.

I think the version you can play on Steam might include these, it certainly seems to run really well. I wonder what if anything this new version adds?

iirc they hired the guy, gave him access to the source code, and he maintained the game for years

it has official windows 10 and proton support, its quite cool.

So many good memories of the hot seat multiplayer on my Windows 95 machine.

Similar genre, but I liked Warheads

There is also Arcanists 2. It’s like Worms, but every match is different because you choose your own inventory of weapons.

I played a lot of Scorched Earth, not as polished as Worms, but a lot of fun!

I was first introduced to the original Worms through a demo that came with a PC magazine. I spent way too many hours playing that simple demo, but it really sold me on the concept of worms.

When Worms 2 came out, I bought it and I was blown away at it being such a massive improvement over the original. I think it was probably the first game that I spent a significant amount of time playing online. I even made custom sound packs based around some of my favorite shows, and I would customize my team names around them.

Then Worms Armageddon came out. I was so hyped for the next generation of Worms, so I bought it immediately. And then… Well I have to say I felt disappointed. While it was certainly an improvement over Worms 2, with a few new weapons and some single player content, it really felt like more of an expansion than a whole new game. But alright, it is what it is, and I continued playing because it was still a fun game.

And then Worms World Party came out. I thought that surely this must be the next big evolution in the Worms franchise. So once again I bought it. And god damnit, it felt like they had once again sold me the same damn game with a fresh coat of paint. And that’s how I came to stop loving the Worms franchise.

I named all of the worms on my team Shake and Bake, Bake and Shake, etc.

At one point in time, I downloaded a ton of Austin Powers sound bites and used them for all the voice lines

Me and my friend had a handshake agreement to only use the grappling hook once instead of zipping around the entire map with it since we were both too good with it. Actually I am amazed that our friendship survived this game given we were both way too intense

I wish the Holy Hand Grenade would show up in more video games, regardless of whether or not it would even make sense for it to be there

My buddies and I would play on the Playstation (2?) and I got very very good at ninja roping across the map to drop dynamite on someone’s head and swing back to safety in time.

Nothing more I loved than that maneuver, except maybe getting a concrete donkey.

We used to install this on school computers along with island: a game of survival, and a counterstrike clone, and then all them flash games
