    I had Worms United (I think it was called) which was basically an expansion to the original DOS game that allowed for custom levels and SFX.

    I created some worms sound packs loosely based on some of the pop songs on that era.

    Fun times.

    I never quite got into the later Worms games. Visually they looked great and the controls felt similar, but it was all a bit too cartoonish for my liking. However that might just have been because I was used to the original DOS games. But even now, I still crave that pixel art aesthetic in games (not just Worms).

    I remember being 10 and getting worms world party. I really was convinced that was going to be the best game I'd play for the rest of my life. Ahhh the nostalgia...

      Well... has it been the best so far?

    Not exactly sure what this is.

    But I'm so excited to play Worms with my kids when they're old enough. My sister and I _endlessly_ played the same level in a worms 2 demo almost 30 years ago.

    One of the best games ever made. I played since the first DOS version!

    TIL that the Worms soundtrack was by Dr. Awesome / Crusaders. Still loving it!

    I had a babysitter that worked through the WWP campaign with me and we enjoyed it. It really became more inventive than you’d expect a campaign like that to be. For example, you get the bow, infinite weapon firing per turn, and infinite ammo. You’re meant to shoot arrows until you create a bridge to the next platform.
