Just curious, does anyone ever find themselves missing the original Worms Style, where they actually looked like... Well, worms.
There's no doubting that Worms Armageddon is a great game but I often at times find myself wondering what exactly the series would have been like with updates graphics based on the original worms concept.

Yes, I actually do miss the original. I still play it using DOSbox occasionally. Still has lots of charm, and to be honest, I'm surprised no-one has cloned it or updated it. Those were the good old days, now if only I could find the soundbank I created from Adam Sandler's Goatboy for it......

I dislike the pixel worms. But that's because I played comic-ish W2 first. (Lol I remember drawing worms comics back then where the worms looked like the ones from W2, only uglier).

Fair enough, nostalgia probably has a lot to do with it. I think it's mainly the box
art of the original style worms that drags me in so much. It's pretty bad ass.

Yeah ok the box art stuff is pretty awesome. But the W2 box style wasn't toooo bad either with the freaky woman worm on the left.

Probably same thing that happened to Team Fortress.
"Okay, let's make it so you can propel yourself by shooting rockets under your feet... And add class that can doublejump and run impossibly fast... Or you know what guys, let's just screw everything realistic and put in cartoony graphics."
Worms would look just weird with scary centipedes and stuff. Back when it was all pixels, it wasn't that big problem (and IMO, that was actually the only artstyle they could use).
