Title: Worms
Post by: KnownandUnknown on July 20, 2011, 12:30:14 pm
I was wondering if anybody else plays the great 2d strategy turn-based war games. I personally play the most well known one, and the one with the biggest fanbase and fan patch support, Worms Armageddon.

The games are sort of hard to explain, but here is a quote from the website (which is sort of outdated but hey, the game is from 2000)
"About Worms Armageddon
 
ARMAGEDDON: The last battle between GOOD and EVIL on the day of judgement. WORMS: Sneaky little blighters with a bad attitude who couldn't care less about any day, let alone the last one!
 
 Now, open a new can of Worms! It's the biggest, it's the best. And it's packed full of goodies (and baddies!) Whether it's Single Player, Multi-player or slithering across the Internet, Worms Armageddon includes a multitude of features and play modes. This is the peak of perfection in ultra-fun. THE BEST WORMS GAME EVER.
 
 Worms Armageddon enhances the original award-winning gameplay with barmy new weapons, game-enhancing new features and much improved single and multi-player gaming modes. Expericence the worldwide IRC-style network WormNET, which makes playing online easier and more accessible.
 
 Martyn Brown, development director at Team17 informs, "Worms has such a cult following that even after Worms 2, more ideas and requests for a sequel just kept flooding in. We decided on an all guns blazing, totally over-the-top game incorporating everything that's ever been asked for and more.""

So, do any of you guys play this?

I might've played an old version in the past, and the idea is awesome, but I haven't played any of the newer games.

Yeah, I really like these games. But there are noticeable changes from Armageddon to Reloaded (the newest one that is now on Steam). And I (plus MANY others) believe that Armageddon is the best.

I don't believe I've played Armageddon; and I don't have Steam, so I definitely haven't played Reloaded, unfortunately. =P
