Amigas with less than or exactly 2MB of RAM - usually stock A1200 machines - may find that WormsDC crashes during startup or play, likely showing a Software Failure error message.

This can be circumvented like so:

  • Reset the Amiga, holding down both mouse buttons so the boot menu appears after resetting.
  • Select "Boot with no startup-sequence".
  • At the AmigaDOS prompt, browse to the drawer where WormsDC is installed. (e.g. DH1:games/WORMSDC/)
    • You can type the "prompt" command first to display the current drawer at the prompt if that helps.
  • Type "RUNDC" (without quotes, not case-sensitive) to launch the game.
