Hi I have WWP for PC, I was looking to find out if there is a way that I can play this on an Apple with OSX. I recently got into the old Monkey Island games with Scumm VM, is there anything like that for Worms?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no "2D" version of worms available for Mac OS X - Worms Blast and Worms 3D are the only OS X compatible worms.
Therefore, the only way to play WA and WWP on a Mac you'll have to use a Windows emulator. If you're using an older PowerPC Mac, you'll have to try and track down Microsoft's Virtual PC software - this is not ideal as it doesn't run Windows at full speed. If you're on a newer Intel Mac, you can use Apple's Bootcamp utility to install Windows on a partition and run Windows at full speed from that, or use Parallels or VMWare to emulate Windows in OSX, as with Virtual PC (although these two are quicker than VPC)

I can say from personal experience that VMWare does the job very, very well. I've used it at work and have naturally tested WA on it. Works nicely.

AFAIK we haven't got Parallels to work yet. There is a thread in the WA channel.
