You do realise that most of you lose, right? You're using the SNES/Mega Drive versions of the sprite, which are slightly different from the PC/PSone/Amiga/etc. versions (two pixels are inexplicably missing from the front).

But the Snes was awesome, so it all comes square.

:p

edit: mine looks the same as you. :p

Actually, yours is missing two key pixels in the front to give it that proper "classic" look.

Ah, but isn't that because yours has a military vest thingie on and mine doesn't?

Erm, I've overlayed sprites from both versions and I don't find any difference aside from different palletes. In any case, their text is also like the SNES version so it works out.

But their sprite avatars are missing two pixels from the front of the worm. Surely you can see it.

Well then me, being me, would just make the vest pink instead.

Even so, every Worms screenie I've looked at has the vest so I don't get the version-difference-thing.

That might just be because I took pictures from the SNES version.

Incidentally, I own the PS version, which would've had proper fonts.

I wouldn't even know how to go about getting a sprite of the PC version.

It isn't that hard to find a screenshot.

Wait, is this about the vest?
The worms do have the vest in the pictures I took, but I edited them out because I thought it was some weird kind of back pack... on their front. :confused:
