This is a list of known in-game tricks and glitches in the first generation of 2D Worms games.

-
![[WDC]](/images/5/50/WDC_icon_disabled.png "This item does not apply to Worms: The Directors Cut.")
Dynamite will not explode while retreating worm is jumping - Indian rope trick
- Kamikaze-ing into a landmine stops the worm from dying
- Quick teleport
- Using the Nuclear Bomb twice pushes the team health bars off the screen
- Uzi/Minigun sound glitch
- Worms that hurt themselves with or before their first Shotgun round still get a second shot
Fatal / Crashes
- Crashes during start-up on Amiga CD32
- Crashes during start-up on machines with 2MB of RAM
- Crashes if OS libraries missing*
- Crashes on systems using MultiUserFileSystem*
- Crashes on systems with 68010 CPU*
- Game locks up if active worm dies while executing a Fire Punch (yet to be confirmed in Worms)
- Having more than 20 mines on screen at once crashes the game (yet to be confirmed in Worms)
- "Insert Disk" message on HD installed game*
- Loading maps saved with DeluxePaint or Personal Paint "Stencil" feature active crashes the game
- Loading option sets whilst using BETONG ASNA or BOING cheat crashes the game
- Software Failure 8000 0020*
Emulation-specific
These glitches are caused by imperfections in the Amiga emulation process and are not necessarily the result of abnormal behaviour on the part of the game.
WinUAE
- "Nowhere to worm!" error on maps with plenty of play space
- Game will not load if sound emulation is disabled
- Damage dealt disappears too quickly when an RTG board is emulated
- Sound corruption
FS-UAE
Other
- Action Replays display different outcome
- Sprite animations continue while game is paused
- Control defaults to CD32 controller if cd.device is installed*
- CPU shot misprediction
- DIY terrains with gaps in "ground" texture generate glitch maps
- First vertical row of pixels on the far left of the map visible on the far right
- MUSIC cheat glitch
- Screen cut-off on NTSC Amigas*
- Scrolling to bottom of the map during a Weapon Crate alters vertical crate spawn point
- Worms named "Jesus" can walk on water
Fixed glitches
These WormsDC-specific glitches have been fixed in the v1.05 update.
