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).
- bananaboy 2mo agoSame - I always preferred the pixel art look to the smooth cartoony look!
- chriswarbo 2mo ago> the original DOS games "Total Wormage" was on the Amiga, which became the original Worms. It was ported to other machines after: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms_(series)#Development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms_(series)#Development https://worms2d.info/Total_Wormage https://worms2d.info/Total_Wormage > an expansion to the original Not sure about DOS versions, but Worms: The Director's Cut is a heavily-expanded version of the original: more weapons, custom levels (allowing 16 colours instead of 8, IIRC), etc. Highly recommended!
- hnlmorg 2mo agoYeah you’re right. I completely forgot about its Amiga heritage. I never owned an Amiga when they were relevant but I keep thinking about buying one now for my retro hardware collection.
- Twey 2mo agoYou might enjoy Liero (or its modern descendent OpenLieroX) which is similar to Worms but with real-time play (and kept the pixel vibes).
