(Up to File formats)

The Worms series of games has a notion of "soundbanks", which allows players to customize their worm teams by assigning them a set of sounds (called a "soundbank"), either from a collection included with the game, or creating a custom soundbank from player-specified sound files.

Worms and WormsDC on the Amiga use speechbanks made up of individual files for specific instances, as opposed to the MS-DOS versions which use a single file containing multiple samples. Each sound file must be in the IFF sound format. Frequency and size does not matter, although the game will crash if it runs out of memory while attempting to store a soundbank that is too large (this obvious varies depending on the memory capacity of the Amiga).

In Worms the only soundbank options available are for English, German and French (stored in "TWENGLISH", "TWGERMAN" and "TWFRENCH" respectively). Fans of the series would often delete the two "redundant" languages and replace them with custom speechbanks of their own, or that they had downloaded from AmiNET. WormsDC formalized the use of custom speechbanks by removing the limit of speechbanks available (although the German and French banks were removed from the game to save disk space).

Filenames marked with a * also include an alternate lower-quality "2M" file in WormsDC for computers with low memory. These files are usually named "{{sound name}2M".
