Your worms are mobile but can only inch as far as their little half inch bodies can will allow them too.
It's all done in a straight-up 2D world where everything that isn't in the background, where you can see wind blowing, is solid and an obstacle to deal with. In a nutshell, you have a limited time to move one of your handful of slimy worm soldiers -complete with its own accent and vocabulary- attack and enemy and then move away. Worms isn't quite that cool, but it does capture the excitement of actually watching pieces destroy each other in a very traditional game of strategy. Gameplay If you remember the scene in Star Wars when the wookie and the droid were playing space-chess with little 3D critters, then you remember how cool it was to see pawns actually battle and defeat each other after a move was made. Infogrames' Worms Armageddon may not cause your palms to sweat like some of those other multiplayer games but it makes up for its lack of raw intensity with some outstanding explosions, outrageous weapons and focus on strategy. Games like GoldenEye, Super Smash Brothers and BattleTanx truly shined when they were surrounded by four gamers clinching and mashing their controllers to within an inch of their plastic little lives. There are certain games in the N64 library that make you thank your lucky stars that your favorite Nintendo console has four controller ports.
