well i prefer lemmings as i prefer puzzle over strategy here

Obviously you've yet to experience the joy of the WWP Mission Editor then. ;)

Very hard to choose, I love both games so much. (Not that I've ever played Team17's Lemmings games) Maybe worms though, because it has such a large replay value.

yes there is the worms missions obviously not as good as lemmings but it gives the game a puzzle element

all i know is team 17 need to put lemmings up on xbox live arcade

Sony owns Lemmings. So... yeah, not gonna happen.

Seriously, why do people keep suggesting this? It's like saying, "Bungie need to release Halo 3 for the PS3." It's an Unlikely Situation.

Couldn't team17 put them both into the same game, like lemmings 3D and worms 4: mayhem into a sort of same game? get the lemmings into the door all the while dogging worms and their weapons? or be the worms trying to destroy the lemmings? with crate drops that help both worms and lemmings? turn based for each worm and lemming? in 2D? well mabey not, but I voted equal so there.

That'll probably have to wait until the Olympic Games!

No, because if nothing else, Lemmings 3D was an abominably bad game. And you're basically describing Worms 4: Mayhem with the option of playing as a Lemming. Which is silly.

Yes turning Lemmings into 3d was a big mistake. I had to vote for both because I always play these two.:D ;) . I cannot choose between these two.

I just said "can't compare". One's a puzzler, one's a turn-based strategy game. It's like saying, "which is better, Tetris or Civ?"*. It doesn't really work.

"Which is better, seven or blue?"

"Which is better, seven or blue?"On the basis that blue is my third favourite colour and seven only my sixth favourite digit, blue.

"Which is better, seven or blue?"


can't compare ones a colour the other a number, whereas lemmings and worms are both computer games involving very small characters, indeed i believe worms was inspired by the game lemmings, so suck on that.:)

The theory of evolution was inspired by a finch. That doesnt make them easily comparable.

indeed i believe worms was inspired by the game lemmings,

Do you have a source for that?

so suck on that.:)

Is telling a moderator to "suck on that" really a good idea?

no, but u must understand that a comparison can be made due to the fact that they are both computer games involving little characters, indeed the mission mode in worms plays like lemmings in a way. But in any case i wasn't really asking you to compare, but rather which was your favourite is.

Whereas comparing seven and blue is just silly.

whoops, he's a moderator, sorry i didn't realise, please accept my apologises i was only jesting.:o

Try comparing Final Fantasy with Halo. They're both 3D and have characters that are supposed to represent humans. I'd hardly "compare" them, because they are still different genres. Worms and Lemmings are different genres, regardless of any apparant similarities.

So on that basis let's compare Halo and Project Gotham Racing - they both have vehicles in ;)

Or, a slightly less "stupid" comparison: Simpsons Hit & Run and Project Gotham - both have vehicles, both have elements of racing in them, but the similarities end there. You have to use strategy to win Worms, and you have to use strategy to win Lemmings, but they're not the same type of game.

Besides, lemmings and worms are in no way both "small" animals.
A lemming has a much bigger body mass and volume (30 to 112 g, 7 to 15 cm body length).
A 10 cm long Lumbricus terrestris specimen merely weighs ~1g.

You can get 3m long earthworms, but I think the small sprites were the point. Lemmings was the first game to show that that could work -- it was designed for that purpose. Think of it as "seminal".

No, because if nothing else, Lemmings 3D was an abominably bad game. And you're basically describing Worms 4: Mayhem with the option of playing as a Lemming. Which is silly.

Obviously, ive never played lemmings 3D. that wasnt what I was thinking at the time. I was thinking normal lemmings 2D puzzle, but with one lemming at a time, [turn based like worms, so you have to get your lemming into the door before your turn runs out and its one of the worms's go's, the worms have normal worms weapons, and the lemmings have normal lemmings tools]
but the diffrence is that there are worms as well, and the lemmings have longer time because it requires a lot of thinking, unless it's a very simple puzzle. I was also thinking campians and expansion packs, but I guess it might no be a big it, because it is almost impossible to see the same picture as me when looking at this post.

and also, about the comparing, comparing worms to lemmings, is like comparing a cheese sandwich and a vanila ice cream sandwich. ones more spoilt.[in this case the vanila ice cream sandwich witch represents worms]
and the other is also a good old classic, but long forgoten, and owned by the guy next door, who has a dog who will bite your head off if you try to take it off him, even though he locks the cheese sandwich in a cupboard, never to be seen again, or eaten. [the cheese sanwich is lemmings, the owner is sony, the dog is some lawyers] good thing good old Team17 own W;)rms, other wise there would be no need for any of this junk site, I mean...er...lovely heaven...

On the basis that blue is my third favourite colour and seven only my sixth favourite digit, blue.

10 Digits versus several millions of colours... That's not enough acccurate.

Yes, I needed to say it :p

"Cinnamon red is my 12th favourite color, but since the digit I like the least is 10th, any digit owns cinnamon red"

Yes, I'm odd.

But that has nothing to do with lemmings or worms! by the way, my way of comparing is cheese sandwich and vanila ice cream sandwich, first ill try the vanila ice cream sandwich to see if I like it...whoops, it slipped out of my hand, now I won't even think of eating the mouldy cheese sandwich...so vanila ice cream sandwich wins. if only I could get it in my mouth...
[guess who is vanila, and who is cheese. doh! I already said that in my other post!]

yes i suppose you could compare those two computer games, but try reading my post again more carefully i wasn't asking u to compare, i was replying to someone who said a comparison can't be made which i dispute.

The 11th color is discriminated then.

Yeah.

discuss Yes, because it has a bigger ball in.

Its just a opinion. Some people don't think worms and lemmings are comparable, some do. I would prefer worms over lemmings simply because I like it more than lemmings. i get more fun out of a game of worms than a game of lemmings. Nothing wrong with that.

hmm tough one but i slightly prefer football,so that is superior. actually that wasn't so tough.

Prefer watching football, prefer playing tennis. (Though I barely do either - hate all sports)

You wouldn't say that if you'd played 3D Lemmings with the Rasputin cheat. :p

W:A has online multiplayer. Lemmings doesn't*. Sooo, which is better you ask?




*(does it? well if it does, I doubt it's as fun as W:A multiplayer...:p)

no im new with the lemings game

Are you trying to say that you have tried neither Lemmings or Worms?

[Sigh] no, I have played 2D and 3D worms, and 2D lemmings, but I was saying that worms and lemmings are a bit like the ridiculous vanila ice cream sandwich, and the classic mouldy cheese sandwich.[eaten only by out of luck tramps]

The obvious answer to all the problems is this: there is no need to compare them as diffrent things or any other way, we just need to find the most supirior person in the world. easy. it's me. I voted equal. thats that.

Well...that or the poll.

W:A has online multiplayer. Lemmings doesn't*. Sooo

lie lemings have an online multipayer (in PSP and DS )

Er... no. It doesn't, shockingly enough. Lemmings on the PSP and PS2 lets you share your levels online, but it doesn't let you play with other people. And it's never been out for the DS. Unlikely to either, actually, considering Sony own the brand.

Doom ][ would be my all time fav, since I killed so many hundred thousand enemies in that game for years back then.. Tho the killin in Worms is still pretty addictive - even a couple of years break won't help to bring back ye good olde junky feeling, which can hardly be said for every game on this planet. Lemmings was fun -> the fact that game images are recallable within my neurotic mess in my head without needing the Google Brainsearch plug-in states that the game must have left some impression (duh, of course it was a gr8 game xD).
But ][ still was the hit from back then. Man, I loved those custom maps, Imps-r-us, and Foxhole, shooting stupid chicken with a rocket launcher at high speeds at each other. Yes, it must have been Hamburger Hill, the Killing Fields, Europe during the last centuries and the massive aids victims in Africa all counted together and then tripled to get the amount of dead Archviles, Cacodemons, Barons, Imps, Arachnotrons and Revenants running without a chance towards my ever ***ing minigun... upgraded and tweaked of course - custom rooms filled to the max with cannon fodder anxious waiting for you to trigger the door... Muhaha it was a HELL of a time xD

Worms will definably become most favorite when I reach the same amount of kills - it's just a matter of time before 20 billion worms are killed, no worries. Oww, but then it also still has to beat the amount of innocent pedestrians which I killed in GTA2 (which is, btw, free for download, at Rockstar Classics Games). Lets see, that amount must be the size of the ppl in China and surrounding countries... mmmK... 0o... you're lucky it's 2 late for AG at the moment... so for now Worms is still at number 3.

But, uhm... Lemmings your were saying? Yea, it was fun for a couple of months. It's maybe somewhere in my Top 20. Like The Incredible Machine 2 or 3. And like Manhunt. Or MOHAA - Spead of Destiny. Non comparable to Worms indeed. Can I order one of those sandwiches btw? And a Red Herring Vanilla Salt Shake? Waiter? Hello? Table 54 please? Sandwich? Herring? HELLOO? Man, this place sux - I'm heading for Burger King.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! But why? what part was it that earned it? was it the new W;)rms symbol I came up with and just used 9 words back?It was because you came up with the most truly bizarre analogy of all time.

I forgot what an anology is, but im sure it means "awsome work!" [am I right?]

back to the topic, overall, worms rules. thats why worms is more succsessful, it appeals more to the modern society[what with the killing and all] where lemmings apealed more to the people of the 1990's. [the REAL people who are better than the violence loving "I-dont-care-about-global-warming-even-if-it-is-my-fault-we-can-all-suck-and-die" Modern people [Winks suspiciously at world leaders;)]

I forgot what an anology is, but im sure it means "awsome work!" [am I right?]

Err, no.

I find Lemmings extreamly limited compared to worms. It's simplicity get's boring after a while.. and i'm not that good at Lemmings :p

oohhh i was confused :o

How can anyone compare lemmings to WORMS?!!!!

I find Lemmings extreamly limited compared to worms. It's simplicity get's boring after a while.. and i'm not that good at Lemmings :p

Its Simplicity is its beauty, i find worms quite tiresome myself as well as it is ridiculous and its so fricking crazy, but i admit it is a laugh. Lemmings chills me out and gets the cogs in my brain working especially the mayhem and taxing levels.

So you see i think both have their merits, but as we live in a crazy world anyway i like to retreat into a nice slow game of lemmings to relax.

lemmings, a real time puzzle game that involves quick wits, highly predictable behavior and predictable terrain.

worms armageddon, a turn based strategy game that involves quick wits, highly unpredictable behavior and highly random environments.

Two things. one: your just trying to make worms sound bad and Two: in some cases W:A does have predictable landscape and requires skill and you forgot that 3D worms is diffrent then 2D worms and once again has lots of predictable levels

Worms is a game for the ages. Lemmings...not so much. I still can't figure out how to play Lemmings 1 and 2. When I played Worms, it was very easy to pickup and very hard to master.

The key is learning curve. Another example of a good learning curve is the first Halo. Easy to pick-up, hard to master.

I rest my case. :p
