      Although these aren’t the DOS port, still cool to see other ports.

      I didn’t know anyone with a smartphone for awhile when they came out.

      When I finally got to play with an iPad and found out that the Angry Birds games were just artillery games I was so annoyed.

      Everyone losing their minds over a very old genre of games.

        When I was a kid I played a lot of GORILLA.BAS, and the destruct cheat code for Tyrian lol (which I still can’t believe wasn’t sold as its own game, was definitely good enough to sell well)

      I loved that game. Never had a chance to figure out a useful application for all the weapons and add ons.

    I never got to experience worms on DOS, but I did play hours of the PS1 version of it with friends. My god, it was such a good time! I didn’t care for the art style change that came in Worms 2, but then got used to it for when Worms Armageddon came out. Worms Armageddon was peak worms for me, and that one I did play on PC exclusively.

    If you like Worms, try Liero. It’s a tad less sophisticated, but even more madness.

        I’m pretty sure it’s still being developed too.

    Haven’t played Worms 1 but I did enjoy Scortched Earth and Worms Armageddon. Good games.
