And better so than ever!
“Sir, yes Sir!”
Once again I’m falling for the temptation to brag about the first time I did this or that as an opening of a blog post. Several years ago I played Worms on any trusty Amiga I could lay my hands on, be it the ones of friends, family members, scout leaders, class mates or my own. The concept was not new - as such; taking turns lobbing weapons influenced by gravity, wind etc. at an opponent inhabiting the same randomly generated landscape as oneself. (I had even made a version on my Casio calculator in high school.) What was new was the humour - in sound and graphics - and the perfectly balanced weapon set Team 17 had implemented, as well as the intuitive and playful way the game played. Brilliant.
“Come on, then!”
