All I have to say is "beware the MIRV"

I have the CODE, in a three ringed binder, full of print outs, from when we tried to key it into the College Comp Sci labs several years ago.
You actually transcribed the entire program? Wow you had some spare time.

There were a group of us, but we bought a print out of the source code at a con.

Hm, the 3D version is fairly fun but kind of hard to get used to. The cameras are about as good as those in Super Mario 64

There's also a java version: http://www.scorch2000.com/

Both Worms and Scorched Earth are derivatives of a very old game called Artillery Duel, which probably was in turn derivative from some ancient mainframe game (input angle, input power, bang)

Is it just me or do the missiles look a bit like photon torpedoes.

Deathshead = carpet bomb goodness... its fun to fire at a bouncy wall with a deaths head in order to get rid of that pesky chunk of island...

Ah, one game, my friends and I thought we were oh so clever...start out with massive cash, buy up huge numbers of MIRVs and Death's Heads...

Whereas one guy bought only super mag deflecters and missiles.

Lemme tell ya. 20 SMD's + 50 missiles = TEH WIN!!1

Playing it last night with a friend. Crucial shot, funky bomb for the game... It hits him dead on. Smack bang 100% centre of the top armour on a ballistic arc.

Unfortunately for me he had mag deflectors up and my Funky bomb bounced off and landed a safe distance away.

He then nailed the ground just to my right with a nuke annihilating me utterly.

Time to rock and roll!!!

And yes, Worms kicks fucking ass. It's sheer beauty what me and my cousin can accomplish with a ninja rope, some girders and a stick of dyn-o-mite!
