![]() Knowing he could never commercially release the game with Lemmings characters, he changed them for Worms and changed the name of the game to Total Wormage (possibly a reference to Total Carnage).Īndy entered the game into a publishing competition run by popular magazine Amiga Format but was unsuccessful. The positive reaction he witnessed encouraged him to develop it further. The original name of the game ( Worms) was Lemartillery, and it was created purely as a bit of fun for Andy and his school friends in 1993. In this way, he "ripped" the graphics from Lemmings, and used them while developing his version of Artillery. Andy was working on a program called "Jack the Ripper" for the Amiga personal computer, which allowed him to trawl the residual contents of RAM after applications had been run and quit. Worms is based on the 2D classic Artillery, and originally did not feature Worms, but the "Lemmings" from the popular game of the same name. The very first Worms game was originally made by Andy Davidson. However, the series' characters are almost entirely left out, since Worms focuses mostly on the missions and combat. There are also villains like Professor Worminkle and Boggy the Kid. The series also has a few characters, such as Boggy B, Spadge, and Clagnut. Players will use the Worm-like acrobats or Tarzan, who swings from rope-to-rope. The game series also contains less common Schemes like Rope Racing, where the players should get from the start to the finish as fast as possible while only using the Ninja Rope. The players will just get a specific amount of weapons, while other weapons, utilities and additional health can be found in Crates which drop from the sky. Utilities can also be found in game, such as the Ninja Rope, a flexible rope with more options than expected for moving Worms, the Jet Pack, and the Teleport. The game contains normal weapons like the Bazooka, Shotgun and the Uzi, but also unusual and bizarre weapons like the Concrete Donkey, Super Sheep, Banana Bomb, etc. Each team has weapons to defeat the enemy team. ![]() The match can also be won if the other team Surrenders. This goal can be achieved by using weapons to reduce the enemy Worms' energy to zero, or drown them. The goal of each game is to eliminate all Worms in each enemy's team. The classic worms gameplay remains untouched in this game.Worms is a turn-based, artillery, strategy and puzzling game series. Players still control a team composed of at least 1 worm in a turn based action strategy game. Worm about using whatever utilities they have until either their time runs out or they execute an attack with a weapon (some weapons allow for 2 uses per turn). After the player finishes their turn either the computer or another player gets his next turn until all teams except one are dead or the fame time runs out. ![]() Gameplay A worm flying around in his jet pack. ![]() The worms gameplay was translated directly into 3D without major hiccups however it did suffer a bit from its differences to its predecessors. It was also the first worms game to be released over a large number of consoles which produced very different playing experiences in between them. The ninja rope became very difficult to use, as well as well placed bazooka shootings were difficult to manage with a 3 dimensional wind to consider. Other simpler weapons translated quite well, like the homing pigeon, the air strike, and the jet pack. The vast repertoire of weapons that were quite common before was replaced by a far smaller menu of weapons, but it still retained quite a few classics like the flying sheep, the holy hand grenade, and the concrete donkey. This game also uses both first and third person viewing modes to allow the player to either target more accurately or be able to move through distances in a much easier way. As well as a large overworld view of the map similar to RTS games to command air strikes or teleport through the map. Wind mechanics affect tactical items like parachutes. ![]() Wind mechanics continue to affect many weapons which makes them more devastating but harder to control. The player can see through their interface the current wind speed and direction, as well as other information such as the team's overall health the enemy worms' health and their current position in a map. ![]()
