SWTORStrategies: We’ve got some exciting news for fans of retro games, and anyone who has fond memories of blowing their friends into smithereens on the Sega Genesis, Amiga, PlayStation 1 or PC during the 1990s. As of this week, we have official confirmation that Team 17 are releasing a new ‘Worms’ game in 2020. It might not be the biggest game news of the year, but it will delight those of us who’ve always had a special place in our hearts for this most simple and yet most entertaining of combat games.
Dave writes: "Being a bit of an old-timer, I remember the launch of Worms. As an owner of an Atari ST, I’d read all of the Amiga magazines simply because games would hit the Amiga first, and our team would get them in due course. There’d be a tinge of envy as I’d make a wishlist of the games to get when they arrived on the ST, and I remember Worms being one of them."
"Team 17 and Evercade are today very proud and excited to announce that the "Worms Collection 1” pack (which includes "Worms", "Worms Armageddon", and "Worms Blast") is coming to the Evercade console in May 2021" - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It looks great although it does have one fundamental flaw - the Evercade is a single player machine and the Worms games are best played in multiplayer.
Having said that, I guess as players tend it in turns you'd just pass the machine around each player
Some Video Game franchises have weapons that are imaginative, unconventional and downright bizarre. This is a good thing. Join us as we investigate nine of the best.
I'm surprised Ratchet & Clank wasn't on the list. Late Saint's Row games, with more imaginative weapons like the Shark gun and the armchair with guns would fit on a part two list as well
I'm not familiar with Ratchet and Clank (not my sort of game) but I'll add it to the list for part two along with Saint's Row. Thanks for the suggestions :-)
look up resistance fall of man from insomniac as well. there were some interesting weapons for that too
@phoenix
Resistance series 100%. Especially the secondary fires. Auger shields, Bullseye tags, Magnum detonator, Rossmore incindiary, then throw a Hedgehog for good measure. By the time I got to R3 they were onto Atomizers and Mutators. Armory speaks for itself.
Thank you to everyone for your excellent suggestions. They have all been added to the list for part two which should be published by the end of the month :-)
