Worms Nostalgia

[Mike_Amiga]

This isn't a thread to state your favourite games in, it is dedicated to the game "Worms" but if you want to mention your experience of similar games feel free.

Does anybody else have fond memories of this brilliant title.

I used to go to my friends house and play it on his P90. Top of the range PC at the time. Anyway, we both had specific sets of team names and stuff, here's mine.

Mikes Psychos:

Psycho (Team Captain, although it didn't make much difference),
Swinger Killer,
Squidgy,
Spungey (The way I would spell it),
Slasher.

I remember recording our own sound set, including many naughty words and rude comments while my friends parents were out. These later worked to devastating comic effect within certain scenarios. :-P

I got obsessed with the tune that came on the CD ROM for a while as well, ah, sad little me.:-D Got it on tape somewhere.

Hogs of war is like a 3D Worms, only with Pigs on Playstation, I’d love to be able to tamper with the sound set on that. Although the voices provided by Rick Mail were top notch.

Another Example of a 3D worms game is Imp Fodder on the Mac, you only have one weapon and a repetitive sound set but it was Freeware I suppose.

Warm fuzzy memories. :-D  :-P  :-)

@JoNty

That would be good. :-D

I've just remembered another similar game that came free with PC Basic, programmed in the language for an example I think.

It involved  2 Gorillas lobbing bananas at each other on various landscapes. It was a turn based game using angles and powering up how hard your gorilla would throw his banana. Can't remember if it had a ramdom varying wind or not, I think it did.

Feel free to correct me. ;-)

 :-PLooks like my friend Keith had a better pentium than yours :-P

Not that, that's anything to gloat about. :-D

Nice none political thread this isn't it? :-?  :-)

I bought the miggy version for my A500 but the sound didn't work so I took it back. I'd have thought with games like Valhala around that a standard A500 with a Meg should be able to run this, no trouble. It wasn't all that graphically complex.

:ranting:Only ever played the first version of Worms. Could you edit the sound set on the Amiga version or was it only for PCs?

:ranting:That aspect of the game kicked @$$!

:ranting:Bought it to a whole new level!

The people at Apple really need to sort out the graphical display problems on Safari, animated smilies and avatars are getting boarders appearing in certain frames. :-o
