[pokolo]

does it support games like shoppa and such? thanks

Noooope. Nope. NOPE. Nope. No. Nop.

At least not in the way you would expect. The rope in the new game is practically useless, and you can't create a scheme that even remotely resembles a shoppa anyway. There is a 'shopper' scheme in the game, but it's basically a standard game with some crate drops, most of which will have coins which you can use on an in-game store to buy weapons.

ah, that's a bummer to hear. so am i better off buying another version of worms then? which one? i used to play shoppa all the time on worms world party which i still own on disc but i never figured out how to get my laptop to run it and i don't think this pc could either.

Best version right now is Worms: Armageddon. It runs fine on modern systems with the latest patches.

It was actually available on Steam for a short while, although it was exclusively as a pre-order bonus for Worms: Revolution... Sadly it's not available standalone, and T17 hasn't said a thing about whether the game will be available by itself in the future or not.

oh, well, how do i get it now then?

Well, finding a physical copy online is your best bet.

There's this one for $5 plus shipping on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Worms-2-Armageddon-Pc/dp/B000E23XNA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1350871203&sr=8-3&keywords=worms+armageddon

Worms Revolution is not that bad as many say, graphics and gameplay are cool. There are missing features but there is still a rope and a shoppa mode.

If your first will is doing tarzan with your rope, the clearly better for you is to get WWP or WA game. Maybe they will release WA on Steam cause it has been given as an extra for all that precommanded Worms Rev...
