Get ready to shout, laugh, and exact unadulterated terror on your friends' worms!

Team17, the masterminds behind the classic game Worms, brought together the best elements from the very best games ever created. Worms requires great thought, strategy, and elements of sheer outrageous fortune, making it a unique and addictive gaming experience.

One of the fascinating things about Worms is that it offers players an almost infinite range of playing possibilities. You never know what crazy situations will arise, and every game is different from the last. The game challenges your ability to think strategically and make split-second decisions, all while keeping you entertained with its hilarious and unpredictable nature.

However, be prepared to take some time to get into the swing of things. Despite everyone's insistence that you should not need to read a game manual to be able to play it, Worms can be a bit tricky to grasp initially. But fear not, once you get the hang of it, you'll find yourself immersed in hours of laughter and mayhem.

One of the highlights of Worms is its multiplayer mode. The game can be played by 1-16 players at the same time, making it a fantastic choice for parties and gatherings. Gather your friends, gather your enemies, and prepare for an intense and hilariously competitive gaming session.

The turn-based nature of Worms means that you only need one machine to play, making it convenient for groups to huddle around and strategize. But be warned, friendships may be tested, and alliances may crumble as you try to outwit and outmaneuver each other in a battle of worms.

Worms is not just a game; it's an opportunity for hilarious banter and friendly (or not-so-friendly) competition. Get ready to shout abuse at your best friend as you launch a devastating attack on their worms. Laugh uncontrollably as you witness the unexpected consequences of your actions. And feel a rush of satisfaction as you protect your worms from harm and unleash unadulterated terror on those who dare to threaten them.

The history of Worms is an interesting one. Team17 initially planned on producing a version of Worms for the Virtual Boy, a gaming console released in 1995. However, after a few weeks, they decided to cancel this plan due to the lack of interest from the publisher and the expected failure of the Virtual Boy. It's a decision that, in retrospect, seems wise, as Worms found its success on other platforms and became a beloved and enduring franchise.

In conclusion, Worms is a game that combines strategy, humor, and sheer outrageous fun. It challenges your wits, tests your friendships, and provides endless laughs. If you're looking for a game that will keep you entertained for hours and leave you with hilarious memories, Worms is the perfect choice. Gather your friends, prepare for battle, and get ready to unleash chaos upon your worms and those of your opponents. It's time to dive into the absurd and addictive world of Worms.
