Worms was released in 1995 (published by Ocean) on the Amiga and then ported to all platforms of the day in 1996: PC (CDROM and Floppy), SEGA Saturn, SEGA Mega Drive, Sony Playstation, Super Nintendo and even the Atari Jaguar and Amiga CD32. The title was reduced to simply to Worms. Unfortunately it was rejected by a few companies until a very enthusiastic Team 17 picked up the game for further development. It took a team of 4 Worm characters and placed them on a randomly generated landscape and required you to blow away out of the enemy Worms who were doing the same to you. It was even demonstrated on a kids computer game show entitled Bad Influence. Worms started life on the Amiga written by Mr Andy Davison in Blitz Basic under the title "Total Wormage". The story of Worms is one that now spans 15 years and one of those few where a guy in his bedroom managed to start a franchise. Note: The CDROM version is covered in this feature but should be mostly applicable to the floppy disc version. So in this feature will be a brief history of the series, the lowdown on the game (the combined Worms United) including weapons, tips and also a guide on how to play on modern PC's (Windows XP/Vista/7). It helped me to learn about digital audio editing. I even customised the game with soundbanks created from clips of Beavis and Butthead and South Park. After getting his answering machine she simply left a message stating that she had Worms forgetting to mention it was the game she was walking about. I remember my friend being so excited when getting a copy of the original Worms that she phoned a friend to come and play. Just where these Worms got access to all these weapons we'll never know.įor me personally, the games got a little more bloated and less enjoyable. In the era when games were thrusting towards 3D, it represented an excellent example of how much fun a 2D game could still be. The extras in this version made for a more frantic and ultimately a more enjoyable game where many more hours were spent and the customisation abilities added an extra longevity also. Many hours were wasted playing the game with friends on various platforms of the day. I very much enjoyed this version of Worms after playing the original for several months. Released in October 1996, this version was exclusive to the PC. Worms United is the original Worms PC release and the Worms Reinforcements expansion pack combined.
