About Armed Worms

Armed Worms from 1997 takes the classic worm game, the growing-snake formula familiar from Nibbles, and arms it. Two players duel on a single screen, and alongside pure agility, firepower now decides the round: you win by forcing your rival into a wall or simply shooting them down.

The period blurb for the freeware version 1.0 boasts handsome 256-colour graphics, more than twenty tracks and a bundled editor for drawing arenas of your own. Worm games were practically a national genre in the Finnish home-computer and BBS scene of the 1990s, and Armed Worms is one of its more polished specimens, even though international retro sites barely know it exists.

You can start a worm duel right in your browser on OldGame.cz.
