You may remember that some time after Worms 3D was released but before Worms Forts had been formally announced, Spadge came into OD and posted some screenshots of a very interesting-looking Worms racer. I'm wondering if anyone still has those screenshots.

It doesn't look like the attachments have gone anywhere...

I thought they would've vanished... wasn't that thread created during the period of the 30 day attachment limit?

Wow, I've never seen that before. Must have been posted during my year off the forum..

In any case, I think that concept will work fine if they make sure it's not just another mario kart clone.

Is this anything to do with Spadge mentioning Worms Battle Rally in the big Worms article in RetroGamer?

No, I just felt it was time to put the screenies up on Dream17. [Which I have (http://www.dream17.co.uk/softography.php?id=83&s=screens)].

Shame it was cancelled - the screenshots make it look like it was pretty far into development...

Sega made them drop it in favour of Worms Forts: Under Siege. Scandalous.

They're probably excused because Spadge posted them.

Really? That's rather saddening.

I think it's because they didn't want to be (potentially) competing with the then in-development Sonic Riders, which was released a couple of years later and was awful. But that's a theory, not a definitive answer.

Someone summon Spadge!

*Blows magic Conch Shell*

*Vader is summoned*

What the hell?? How did I get here?

You idiot. Did you blow a B flat? That's MY note. Spadge is on D.

...

I'm stuck here until you blow it again, by the way.
