I used to not like worms but after playing scorched earth numerous times, with half of the class last year during my Economics class, I think I could enjoy worms.

I loved Worms Armageddon on the PC. And griefing one another by pressing the space bar during each other's turn.

I remember playing the demo of the original Worms for ages in Windows DOS. Glad to see that Worms still hasn't lost that sense of fun destruction.

My first Worms experience was on Mega Drive/Genesis, the one I spent most time with was Worms 1 on PS, but the best IMO was the original Worms 2 (not armageddon which I consider to be worms 3)

only Super Sheep! That's the way to go ^^

I bought this the day it came out.
And so far it's the only LIVE game I've bothered to play online in a long time.
Why?
Because it's an even playing field... madness happens to both
players at random, which makes it fun every time.

Always thought the voices were great on Worms 2, but those voices just made me cringe.

Wasn't the first Worms $10 and subsequently dropped to $5?

Because they hit the "Zoom out" button early on, and never pressed it again to zoom in.

At least this is 2D.  I think all these Artillery games sort of lose their magic when you have to focus on too complex a trajectory.  At least so far.... :)

And thanks to Ryan, I finally understand the title of the China Syndrome :)  (Never saw it)

Yeah the first Worms was not $15 it was $10 and dropped to $5 eventually.  I know this because I've never bought an arcade game for more than $10.

"Dave", "Lister" and "Vindaloo" all managed to appear in this QL. God Bless this game.

I actually might have to buy this in the name of nostalgia.

I love how Worms just sometimes results in everyone failing and it's just the one who fails less that wins. :D

I think I might like the worms voices better if they had more than like 5 sayings.

I picked up Worms on PSN for $15 I think.  It was definitely over $10.  I played it for about 20 minutes and haven't touched it since.  For me, I think the lure of Worms (lol, get it?) is over.  It was fun at some point, but now I've got about the 21 minutes and some odd seconds that this QL makes it through, and that holds me over for years.
