Worms is a turn-based strategy game that combines tactical decision-making with elements of randomness. Players control teams of worms and take turns using a wide range of weapons and tools to defeat opposing teams, resulting in varied gameplay outcomes. The game offers numerous possible strategies and scenarios, contributing to high replayability. While the basic mechanics are simple, players may require some time to become familiar with controls, weapons, and tactics. Worms supports both single-player and multiplayer modes. Team17 planned on producing Worms for the Virtual Boy back in 1995. Though after a few weeks, they cancelled this plan due to the lack of interest of the publisher and the expected failure of the Virtual Boy.

Released 1 June 1995 for DOS, Mac, Amiga and Amiga CD32 by Team17, published by Telegames and Ocean Software. Rated E10+ by ESRB, 7 by PEGI. About 4 hours to beat, 8 hours for everything. Up to 2 players locally.
