Apparently, the Speculation & Discussion forum is just to discuss releasing Worms on various formats. M I RITE? Sure I am. So let's discuss how Worms would play on a George Foreman Grill.

Personally, I think the lack of a controller, display, processor and media input (i.e. no cartridge slots, memory card slots, CD/DVD-ROM drives) is a hinderance, but ultimately I still think it could be done.

the port can definetly be done. however, george foreman grill was not designed to handle such loads, so a few minor upgrades are in order. first of all, as you mentioned, it lacks the input/output capability. this can be solved by soldering in the connectors, and installing input controller chips as well as a graphical adapter. to store the terrain data, the grill will need a ram upgrade. while you are at it, a cpu upgrade can also be used to facilitate the movement of data between ram and input/output data. of course, the grill does not natively support these upgrades, so you should replace the heating element with an appropriate motherboard. that would also help with overheat problem. finaly, connect external floppy, or better yet, cd-rom and hard drives, attach keyboard and monitor, and your george forman grill is ready to handle a worms game.

I've found that you get a lot less water deaths if you throw on some onions. Also, it tastes nicer.
