From Worms Knowledge Base
Hey, my name's Tiku-Orava, and I am a guy from Finland. I am interested in video games and music (death metal mostly) and I consider Worms as one of the best game series ever. I've been a fan for 10 years now.
Best Worms games are (and could always be) Worms Armageddon & Worms World Party.

Goddamned Color bug
I have Windows Vista and suprise! I've got color bug! And nothing works! WWP, W2, W:A.... Not one of these work.
I've tried Compatibility Toolkit, keeping the folder open while playing, alt+tab smashing, WWP color patch, ALL compatibility modes....
NONE OF THESE WORK
What is wrong? Why can't I play without broken colors?
If someone sees this and could know the answer please pm asap.
Opinion on the Series
2D Games
Worms was, well I could say too ancient, even for me. It was ok to me but I didn't like the poor graphics.
Worms 2 on the other hand was great, I really liked the cartoonish look that suits perfectly to Worms. Continuing on the same engine, Armageddon was the more-or-less-perfect worms game. Perfect graphic style, perfect gameplay. The look was polished and those old, little awkward and monotonic menus were gone. Worms World Party was actually the first Worms game I have ever played. It is as good as Armageddon (but somehow I like it more) because it is basically the same gameplay with different levels.
But then...
3D Games
These 3D games came in. And they suck ass.
I mean, in original Worms 2D games, the key element is the strategy. But in 3D it's just point and shoot. No caverns, no old-school Worms gameplay which makes the game so hooking. And 3D games have absolutely NO customizability which was huge drawback from W2 engine which had all kinds of nice little customs, like flags, graves, speech, levels... While Worms 3D included old Worms weapons in the game which was suprising Mayhem had much better engine. But Forts is suckiest.
New 2D Game series
The new 2D series are... lacking. Nice graphics and all that but the gameplay and the engine isn't the same. A perfect new Worms sequel would be 2D with engine very similar to the W2/W:A/WWP engine with graphics in mix between old and new. And HUGE customizability.
