Worms Armageddon is a strategy game developed by UK-based company, Team17. It was originally developed as an expansion pack for Worms 2, but as the project grew larger in scale, it was developed to be its own game. Released in 1998, it is widely accepted as the most successful game in the Worms series.
After a few updates (up to version 3.0), Team17 lost interest in updating the game. A few years later, however, they recruited Deadcode, a talented programmer which showed interest in the game, and even provided a 3rd-party solution (Silkworm) to make the game compatible with Windows 2000/XP. Deadcode has been writing software updates since then, the latest version being 3.6.26.5 (released on 5 January, 2006).
