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.
- Fun looking at the past history of that site.

- Fun fact:
Worms Armageddon saw patches for ~18 years after official updates stopped.
by nly - 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.by jimbob45
- 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).

The best matches were the ones that we only allowed grenades, bazookas, mortars and other few basic short range weapons.

> Mum used to tell me a story about when I first saw the Amiga. I was about 12 years old and she said my face 'lit up' in a way that she'd never seen before. And then she went straight back to dad and said "We're going to have to work extra shifts, so we can get an Amiga", and that wasn't possible for about a couple of years until the Amiga 500 came out. I'm doing an update to Worms DC at the moment and I'm gonna dedicate that to my mum and dad because, without them, without them getting me that computer, I don't know which direction I would've gone in.
Hopefully your parents also encouraged you to live your dreams, and sacrificed to get you the computer(s) you always wanted. And if you are parents now, I hope you'll do the same for your children.
