Worms (series)

Worms is the name for the game series this wiki is all about.

Description
Worms is a turn-based, artillery, strategy and puzzling game series. The goal of the game is to eliminate every enemy worms in the enemy's team. This goal can be achieved by using weapons to kill enemy worm's HP to zero or by enemy worms. The match can also be won if the other team surrenders. Each team has weapons to defeat the enemy team. The game contains normal weapons like the Bazooka, Shotgun and the Uzi, but also unusual and funny weapons like a falling concrete donkey, a flying sheep, a banana bomb and many more! The players will just get a specific amount of weapons, while other weapons, utilities and additional health can be found in crates which drop from the sky.

The game also contains less common schemes like Rope Racing, where the players should get from the start to the finish as fast as possible while only using the Ninja Rope. Players will use the worm like acrobats or Tarzan, who swings to rope-to-rope.

History
The first worms game was originally made by Andy Davidson. Back then, it was called "Total Wormage" ''(Possibly a reference to "Total Carnage"). ''He entered the game in an Amiga game contest and failed. But Andy Davidson did not gave up, Instead, he took it to the European computer show, and thats when he met Martyn Brown, The Co-Founder of Team17. Team17 agreed to help him develop and publish the game, and the result is what we see today.

Andy, often described by his co-workers as 'a bit mad' left Team17 after (or around) the release of Worms Armageddon, and told fans that he was working on a new, 3D game unrelated to the Worms series (although supposedly containing many Worms references and in-jokes), but this has not yet materialised.

Games in the series
The Worms series consists of multiple games which can be categorised into different generations according to the game engine on which they are based:
