ok, I thought this might be something good to play with some mates over LAN/internet and I'm wondering what fans of the series would regard as the best version to go for?
We're all using XP if that makes any difference.
 
personally worms one really did it for me, but the graphics are a bit dated, so either number 2 or armageddoni think
 
Have got to be Worms 2 - solely for the funny introduction videos :)

Otherwise, I've been running Worms Armageddon on my XP system for years - playing it often with my little brother. Have not tried other Worms on my system since running XP back in 2002.
 
Armageddon patched to 3.6.28.0
http://wa.team17.com/main.html?page=supp&area=upda

with the patch it supports 64 colour maps up to ridiculous sizes, records replays of the entire game, supports higher resolutions etc.

and of course check my (pretty much dead) website http://www.blamethepixel.com for downloadable maps, schemes etc.

wmdb.org for maps as well

bear in mind that a lot of maps are for specific game types, mostly involving the ninja rope, which are fun if you know the rules...

another edit: whatever you do don't buy the trymedia version. It's incompatible with the patches

Worms 2 i have to say is the best out of the lot. much easier on the eye and has a real sense of character . perfect for lan gaming with your buddies !
 
Worms 2 - I loved the fact that you could alter the weapons in the options. Set the mini-gun to 50 rounds, and the shell explosions to the biggest which was about 75% the size of the holy hand grenade. Stand at one end of the map and fire, you'll practically destroy every piece of land on the map.

Good times! :p
 
Worms armageddon with the community patches. I play this constantly almsot everyday. Worms WP has a few extras but im fine without them for now besides the community will put them in eventually since the community leader has the source code.
 
Ive got world party, such fun. Basically, all the 2D worms games are great, world party is the latest, so that is probably the best bet.

Eventually it will be much better than the wwp wormpot (pretty much the only extra feature) assuming it does get finished, and it already can do a lot that WWP can't do.

If you ever used the fiddler, the plan is for schemes to be as powerful as that. It'll be like the old worms 2 customisation but advanced enough to change which sprites each weapon uses etc. Unfortunately the fiddler isn't compatible with the latest patches so you need two installs, and even then there are issues with windows compatibility.

world party being best because it's latest is a misconception :p Armageddon is better, and worms 2 has the additional weapon customisation, which neither of the others have, but lacks big colour maps and has poor resolution.

p.s. I wouldn't really call deadcode the community leader :p
 
The first one. I found it really easy to play with the bar compared to the little flames coming out of the weapon.
