Details
In details, this program can be seen as a wine wrapper. It wrapps a wine1.0 version, that is heavily patched with the purpose to run fine with Worms Armageddon. In better words, Play Worms Armageddon is a pure frontend using several programs as its backend, these programs are wine1.0, mount, ln ,rm and every windows tool you run with it (e.g Intes Keychanger, Worms Armageddon and also Worms World Party). This makes it possible that you dont need to worrie about your own wine installation or wine at all. I builded some binarys which are known to run on Opensuse and Ubuntu without the need to compile something alone. But you can also get the complete source of it, if problems occur with these binarys.
Is this worth of a try?
Yes it is, many people made very good comments to it, allready, because, running Worms Armageddon, on linux with wine, is known to be very complicated.
