Any one got/had wors origional for origional game boy (the grey game cartrages) i got mine in about 1995 i think (at least thats what it is in the credits) and i was wondering as the team 17 site or on here didn't mention it wether they had forgotten to put it on? i just wanted to know if anyone else had it or like me still plays on it?

I don't have it, but I've heard it's not good.

Its ok for what the software was like at the time we are taklking about over 10 years ago things have advanced a long time since then i meen getting a game that runs on a pc with 680x800 resolution in colour onto a 50x50 grayscale gameboy cartrige it may not be good now what with hand helds rapidly catching up in performance and graphics with other platforms but a decade ago it was excelant as you only needed one game for up to 4 players instead of game links and the graphics were recognisable for what they were..

But according to several reviews from the time, the game could have been better than what it was.

I'd probably get it if I could pick it up anywhere.
Some are saying that it's better than the DS version, if you don't mind the graphics.

it would be very hard to get it anywhere now iots hard to get any origional game boy pacs these days i brought it for £15 in toys r us but like i said that was a decade ago it may still be worth something as it wasn't as popular as on other platforms and they were not that many made.

It was more popular on the amiga, and more were made! And as for the PC version, that's still being made (in UK at least) today, thanks to Sold-Out Software, so that must've had more made than ALL of the others put together!


In other words, worms rocked.

A friend of mine called this game "racist" at one point. He is now on medication. While it would be assumed that Worms would port well to a handheld format, this version fails to deliver. Hard to believe but this is actually worse than the GBC version of Worms Armageddon.

I used to have worms for the gameboy.

It wasn't that bad.

I used to have worms on my gameboy.

Then I finally decided to clean it up.
