i have been waitiong for a new Worms - game that is 2D like the old school ones.. i have tried the demos for worms 3D and 4 but sadly i think the 3D ruined the extreme fun i used to have with my friends, melting their faces with a Concrete donkey.

i saw the new game getting released soon for NDS and XBOX, is there going to be a 2D one out sometime?

For the PC? Hard to say. Spadge has occasionally dropped hints that they might return to 2D at some point in the future, and I added [this entry (http://www.dream17.co.uk/softography.php?id=95)] to Dream17's Softography+ some time ago in the hopes that it will one day happen. But with Worms Armageddon still available, still doing well at retail, still being supported (albeit in beta updates), and still seeing an active online community, it's unlikely. But then, the same can be said of StarCraft, and look what happened there.

Don't expect a definite answer from the Teamsters, though. They're very tight-lipped about future games in the series.

Incorrect. It's a fan-site dedicated to Team17. Team17 themselves don't really have anything to do with it, well, besides the fact that it's all about them. If you get what I mean.

That's what I meant Melon!:o . *Runs away with a red face*.

Currently, there are three new(ish) 2D worms games: one for PSP, one for DS, and one for XBLA. Currently, we know that another one for PSP and DS will be released soon.
But no news on a new worms PC game yet.

I think a key quote here is from Spadge in 2005, which read:
We are currently working on 6 titles (4 in full production, 2 in pre production). 3 of these are Worms based. 3 of these are handheld based. 2 of them are external IP (i.e. not our own ideas). 1 of them is a radical departure. 1 is a welcome home. There, chew that over...Plasma then added:But here's what I think he meant:


3 of these are Worms based:
Worms4, and the two origional W:OWs.

3 of these are handheld based:
The two origional W:OWs, LemmingsPSP.

2 of them are external IP (i.e. not our own ideas):
LemmingsPSP, LemmingsPS2.

1 of them is a radical departure & 1 is a welcome home:
...I'm stumped on that!
Also, I've only got 5 games listed.Follow this debate HERE (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=22428) if you want to watch out for mentions of 2D worms.

Hi Woodoo.

Your best bet is to buy a copy of Worms Armageddon, which still has a fairly large communtiy of players and is also still being regularly updated. You can buy it [here (https://secure.team17.com/browse.html?area=detail&skuid=79)] from Team 17, or [here (http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/857269/Worms-2-Worms-Armageddon-Double-Pack/Product.html)] from Play.com.

The servers are down anyway.
Also you would have needed a Japanese social security number to register an account, IIRC.

What is that supposed to mean?

Woodoo, you can't do what you're asking. If you want a recommendation buy Worms Armageddon from team17's website, it has a very populated server, you can make your own schemes (rules of the game) and maps (even color maps).

And it's very very cheap.

That's right. If you want the ultimate experience playing online, then please get Worms Armageddon. Listen to these guys. :-)

Indeed.
I liked it better than "Princess Mononoke" and "Howl's Moving Castle".

Wrong.
BTP is a Worms fansite, not a T17 fansite.

Worms Armageddon[/i] still available, still doing well at retail

This isn't actually the case, to be honest. There's a tiny (very tiny) trickle of income to T17 for this title, given it's an 8-year old title at retail and sold for pence/cents these days (and it was released at mid-price when it was launched!).

I still remember the very first time I saw Worms Armageddon being sold in stores. It was 90$! (1999, Canadian$) :eek: It was imported from Europe I think. Even still, that store usually only added 10$ to 15$ onto the price for imported games.

I came very close to buying it that day, with my own money; even though I was only 12. I ended up getting it for 35$ half a year later.

It was released at £19.99 uk ($40 US by Hasbro, in summer of 99)

Indeed. Consider that Team17 were the very culprits who tortured us (and themselves (http://spadget17.blogspot.com/2007/04/i-have-to-face-facts-my-powers-are-weak.html)) with those blimey pixels in the first place!

Hey, Bloopy's back. Unless he was always here, and never had I just checked. Aaanyways, speaking of the store, keep selling the Worm games. I'm planning on buying all of the 2d ones for sale so that I have the original version for each game. Cuz I only got W2 and WA and Wa's sold out software.

There are other fansites and stuff, they're just in different languages.

Well, why would you check, unless you're a stalker? :p I've been here, but I haven't made many posts.
