Hi there! I'm a big fan of classic 2d worms and noticed that the 3D outings of the game aren't exactly kosher to the diehard fan.

I represent a community of homebrew developers for the original xbox who thrive with such ports as doom,quake, hexen, and even duke nukem.

I figure it would be great to port a version of worms to the xbox in all its pixely glory! However to accomplish that requires the source code which I can already figure isn't given out to just anybody.

What are the chances of obtaining the source code to create a port of worms to Xbox? I would appreciate any and all thoughts, skepticism, and criticisms. :)

You're better off starting from scratch, or taking advantage of the multiple open-source clones spread around.
