I was wondering, what should be the best Worms game? (The poll is up :) )

You forgot:

Worms Forts: Under Siege
Worms: Open Warfare (DS)
Worms: Open Warfare (PSP)
Worms on XBLA


My fav would be WF:US

You also forgot

Worms Pinball
Worms Golf
WWP N-Gage
various versions for mobile phones
Online Worms
WWP Aqua
Worms for Sky Digital

You also forgot

Worms Pinball
Worms Golf
WWP N-Gage
various versions for mobile phones
Online Worms
WWP Aqua
Worms for Sky Digital

I don't think there's puch point listing the Worms games on non-major consoles.
But yeah, Worms Pinball also.

You forgot:

Worms Forts: Under Siege
Worms: Open Warfare (DS)
Worms: Open Warfare (PSP)
Worms on XBLA


My fav would be WF:US
You also forgot

Worms Pinball
Worms Golf
WWP N-Gage
various versions for mobile phones
Online Worms
WWP Aqua
Worms for Sky Digital


I can put only up to 10 options on the poll!

I put only these options because these are the principal worms games, e.g Worms Pinball is not very known, WWP N-Gage and WWP Aqua are only diferent versions, if you think they're good just vote "Worms World Party", the same thing with Worms for Sky Digital, and, Worms Golf?... *thinks* I haven't heared about that... *Searchs "Worms Golf" in Google* Ah... Another Worms game for the cellphone...

Worms Forts: Under Siege = Forgot it because i normally don't play it.
Worms: Open Warfare (DS), Worms: Open Warfare (PSP)= They are the same game with the only difference that the PSP version is less buggy...
Worms on XBLA = Is too new and forgot it, sorry :(

Well, i vote for Worms 4 because you can dress up the worms and has a lot more modification that Worms 3D...

EDIT:
Nope.

Okay... *Fixes it*

Worms Pinball is only a table for Addiction Pinball (i think), not a game
Nope.

The first Worms games.

Nothing beats Worms Armageddon.

Worms Open Warfare 2!

Well someone had to say it. Seriously though, W:A all the way. (Though WOW 2 does almost make me want to get a PSP/DS)

Seriouslly. Worms 4: Mayhem is the best, WWP, and other than WA itself..

I think WWP is slightly better than WA because it has more features, but I voted WA for some unexplainable reason..

Everytime someone does this poll the result is always the same... why oh why do people keep doing it?

W:A because it's still being updated...

And indeed, another of those pointless threads that has been done a 100 times, W:A wins.

I have World Party, United and Mayhem, and I think they are the best Worms for PC. That's just what I think.

Worms 2. It's awesome.

I have World Party, United and Mayhem, and I think they are the best Worms for PC. That's just what I think.
I'd say that WA is a bit better than WWP, mainly for the color online maps from the updates.

If you count emulating an Amiga on the PC, Worms DC is definitely better than United, bar there being no network support.
(Other than that, the combination of W1 + Reinforcements is even a bit better than United, as it has the war-torn bottom menu and additional user maps, speechbanks and goodies on the CD.)

W4M is definitely the best of the 3D series.

I think Worms 4 Mayhem rox!!

you get to put those cute lil alfro wigs and fake eyes
and if you experiment enough, you'll find out that these decos could actually save your (worm's) life.

Take for instance that tall hat. If u put it on, chances are that 65% of all incoming Homing Missiles will just fly past your (worm's) hat, missing the target and becomes a lost bullet.

p.s. the Homing Missile theory only applies if the player aims using the bird's eye/aerial view (i forgot what is it called) ;)

You forgot the Worms character for MUGEN.

That gets my vote. :p

You know where to get the emulator? I would like to know.
And I was never supposed to buy United, it just somehow got to me.
I think WWP is better because of the nice colours of the menu and it has the Wormpot.
And W4M is best 3D at now, it just has too short story

In dream17 do I choose "Worms - The Directors Cut Disk Images 2.03 MB (ZIP)",
"Worms - The Directors Cut IPF Disk Images 2.2 MB (ZIP)" or both?

That depends on personal preference. The IPF disk images are sampled from the original floppy disks and more accurately represent the floppy disks as they would have been produced in terms of data spacing and location - really, they're the best choice for a Perfectionist. However this set doesn't have the patch, so bugs may pop up.

The ADF disk images are basic dumps which work just fine in any Amiga emulator. They're for people who just want to play the game and don't care about how reliable the disk images are. The advantage of the ADF set (on our website, at least) is that they are patched, which fixes a number of annoying bugs.

Okay, I'll take the non-IPF, how can I use it?

I only buy Worms Armaggedon on Playstation. Around 5 years of happiness now and WA don't let me warried. ;) I often play it with my family each week and sometimes during parties with friends. I thought and I think it's the best Worms games yet because of the 2D. :cool:

Whatever I downloaded the Worms 4 Demo and I was really attracted by the 3D application of the game. :o So I've the intention (right expression ?) to buy it, probably by ordering because of any shops in my city got it in their stock. :(

Problem is with that, WR has the most elusive weapon ever, in which you must hex-edit the game to get it to appear at all!
WRU fixes this.

The girder in the W4M offline demo comes pretty close, as you must edit an XML file, althought it wasn't planned to even be in the game in the first place, so it probably doesn't count.
Same with the weapons in those leaked W3D demos.

W1, W2, WA, Everything else isn't worms.

And by WA I also mean WWP.

W1, W2, WA, Everything else isn't worms.

And by WA I also mean WWP.
What about Total Wormage, WR, WU and WDC? :rolleyes:

Aren't those versions of worms1?

Aren't those versions of worms1?
And isn't WA and WWP versions of Worms2?

And isn't WA and WWP versions of Worms2?

Notice my last post was a question mark? Out of thise games bonz mentioned I only really know Worms United, which is basically Worms1, enhanced. Like WWP is to WA, basically, that's why, some people play league games in WA that count towards the WWP league, that's one of the many examples. However I don't think I need to elaborate more on why the answer to your question is no, but judging your character I bet you'll try and make an argument out of this.

Worms: Armageddon no doubt

Worms2 was the introduction of what got me into the Worm series as a whole but Worms: Armageddon is what truly sold me for it being my favorite.

Worms 2 will always be the greatest

However I don't think I need to elaborate more on why the answer to your question is no,
Actually, you do. If Total Wormage, WR, WU and WDC are all versions of Worms1, and WWP is a version of WA, then why is WA not a version of Worms2 too?

Also, your last post was a sentence, not a question mark. :D

I guess I was right, you are trying to make an argument out of it like I already mentioned.

Like I already said out of WR, WU AND WDC, I only know Worms United so I can't really know if all of them are versions of worms 1, on the other hand, Worms United clearly is. However I believe those didn't include anything else different to worms1 other than one or two different weapons and missions, correct me if I'm wrong.

I understand saying WWP is a version of WA and WA isn't a version of W2 is, for the most part, subjective, but I can give you a few reasons, some which I already mentioned.WWP and WA are essentially the same game, this is why they're both planned to be merged. If fiddler still worked and WWP had replays it would be impossible to say which game is which from looking at replays, except for a few wormpot features (not many), and different color mines. Many people have played WWP league games in WA, the outcome is the same. If WA was a patch for W2, all worms 2 players would have complained. If WWP was a patch for WA, besides the ugly frontend, WA players would have probarbly enjoyed the additions. I could come up with more, but I believe this is enough, maybe not for you. By the way, do you own W2, WA and WWP and have played all three in depth?

edit: removed those parts where I speculated and turned out to be inaccurate.

Yes, debating is a big part of an internet forum.

WWP was originally an update for WA, and it was built accordingly, afaik, but in the end was launched as an original game, due to, mainly, Sega (?).

Yes, I own and played W2, W:A and WWP. Not including updates, WWP is essentially the same as W:A but with different mission and added Wormpot. However, W:A is essentially the same as W2 but with different missions and added weapons. It was even supposed to be an expansion pack of W2 at first (which may be where your WWP an update of WA came from).

I can't continue arguing this with you if you decide to be ignorant.

WA's phisics, frontend, wormnet, team editor, scheme editor, map editor and a long etcetera are different to Worms2.

The only reason WWP exists is because Dreamcast wanted an online worms since WA didn't support it, so they basically made WA, with online support and added a few little extras which are still possible in WA, or will be with future updates, which reinforces what I'm saying.

I can't continue arguing this with you if you decide to be ignorant.

He didn't choose to be like that. :(
edit:wait, didn't W:A already have online support?

Worms 4 was great but a hated the camera.
IT IS SO SLOW and the worm was slow as well.
Worms 3D was better as the camera didn't take time up looking around.

edit:wait, didn't W:A already have online support?On the PC, not on the Dreamcast.

worms forts: under seige is not on because basti@n can't be bothered to play it anymore? that stinks. all the other ones i can see why not, but are worms armaggedon and worms world party pretty much the same game? i say worms forts should be on because basti@n just forgot. What if i made the pole, but i said i forgot worms4mayhem because i never bought it? i dont belive this. one of the most important worms games and you forget...

P.S.: can't see why so many people like worms armageddon, played it, wasnt good at it, couldnt get past tutorial, same as worms 2 which i also got...worms 2 better, no tutorial blocking the missions.

That's one of the big reason W:A is still alive and kicking, it's big learning curve.

That's one of the big reason W:A is still alive and kicking, it's big learning curve.

Mabey so, but my point still stands. and worms forts:under seige should still be put on the pole. whos with me?

































no-one then?

No one. Because this is not a serious poll.

Well, its serious enough. Having Worms Fort there wouldn't change much, granted it'd have at least two votes by now, but WA and W4 seem to be the best worms games according to the public.

Anybody could have told you that really.....

Anybody could have told you that really.....

Well, I would have never guessed W4 to get more voted than W2, but then again not many W2 players use these forums.

Well WA = best 2D and Mayhem = best 3D.

You're only allowed to vote once, so the 2D crowd will vote WA and the 3D crowd Mayhem.

Well WA = best 2D and Mayhem = best 3D.

You're only allowed to vote once, so the 2D crowd will vote WA and the 3D crowd Mayhem.

I voted Mayhem. And WHY someone voted for Worms Blast!? :rolleyes:

I voted Mayhem. And WHY someone voted for Worms Blast!? :rolleyes:

because they stupid? and mabey you too a little for putting it on there if you thought anyone who voted there was insane, we have either about 4 possible options here:

1: im right, and therefore worms forts: under seige should be added, this also means plasma is wrong, he voted worms forts under seige earlier in the thread, so he is going against his own cause, also W2 is better than WA. and basti@n is lazy.
2: Im wrong, which means everyone else is right and WF:US is not a good game and I am crazy.
3: no-one cares, and we should just forget about my "madness" and get on with "more important things"
4: this topic is getting out of hand and should be closed.

And WHY someone voted for Worms Blast!?
I didn't but, but Blast is a decent game.

Compared to all the other Bust-A-Move clones it adds some nice twists and additions from the Wormiverse.
Also, it has the nicest backgrounds in all the Worms games, except for the latest console versions with their 3D backgrounds.

If only it had network multiplayer support. :/

this also means plasma is wrong,
I didn't say that I don't like WF:US, I was just saying that there's not much point complaining about such a thing in a not-so-serious thread.
3: no-one cares, and we should just forget about my "madness" and get on with "more important things"
Bingo!

Not-so serious because it doesn't contain a not serious title contender?

Lets just stick with my option number 3.

This forum attracts best-worms-game-threads like flies to a rotten piece of meat in the back of your fridge behind the mayonaise....

I was quite sure it was behind the ketchup... I just checked, it IS behind the ketchup, you LIAR.:mad:

I voted Mayhem. And WHY someone voted for Worms Blast!? :rolleyes:And what is Worms Blast?

Plainplane :)

And what is Worms Blast?

Plainplane :)

A worms game. Where you need to break some "bricks" (no, not like in Breakout) with guns.

Worms Blast is a "Bust-A-Move" clone (where you need to shoot colored bricks with a color-coded gun to clear lines) but with added twists from the Wormiverse.
http://wormsblast.team17.com/main.html?page=abou&area=theg&lang=uk

In my opinion it's an excellent 2-player party game and it's quite a shame that it doesn't have multiplayer network support.

It also uniquely features such weapons as the laser (the one from the W2 FMV), piranhas and a torpedo.

In my humble opinion, nothing beats the retro greatness that is Worms Armageddon. It's just classic worms with a bunch of great weapons and awesome customization features slapped on.

Find me as "MajinKirby" on WormNet, and I'll show you the whole Cybernetix squad. =P

the original worms is still a favorite to me, but WA is at the top due to still being updated and the amount of time its lasted me.

i vote Worms World party since its the newest one (meaning more fun weapons and grafics etc.) that ISNT 3D.

my opinion is that worms should stay 2d since 3D just kinda ruins the feeling of this otherwise perfect game.

but nothing can beat the intro films from Worms 2 though :D

So... have you not played WA post-BETA updates, then...?

Just a question about Worms World Party: Is it possible to play your own missions in wormnet? I'm not sure. It would be a way to play your own maps in internet, which is the only thing I miss in World Party (with a fix to the menu slowdown).

Is it possible to play your own missions in wormnet?

Ummm... No. I think. I dunno. :-/

Arcticworm: yes you can, but a few things to take into consideration:

1: Of course it has to be a multiplayer mission. (And they only let you have two human players)
2: The person you're playing with has to have the mission aswell.
3: You have to select the mission before that person comes in to the game.

Someone please correct me if I've missed something or made a mistake, but I think that's right.

Ok, I try my Lab mayhem with my friend when he comes from a trip

Armageddon, for sure. That's what got me into the hole Worms series.

Armaggedon where just the best.
6 years I play on it. :)
