This is incredible! Thank you so much for all your hard work! Words cannot express my gratitude for this. I have so many fond memories of playing worms WA with friends and family. Is there a way we can help support your work here? Or at least a way to say thank you?

A question: Is there any place where the patch can be purchased / downloaded to install onto existing files (apart from Steam)?

#43Oh wow, this is amazing. Not only is the game kept alive literally decades later but it's being done by a fan no less! This is really great, I might actually fire it up to play a game or two, maybe some mates will want to relive the "good old years". Haven't kept up with Worms after 3D came around but the original formula is absolutely ingenious.

Any chance of seeing an update to the Dreamcast version? :p
(Thank you!!)

#45I can’t believe this game is over 20 years old. If you haven’t tried Worms ever, please give it a shot. It captures an innocent and growing age of gaming, before the modern AAA production budgets, before social media, before societal division, where it was fun to play outside and fun to play on the computer. I’m not sure how to describe it but I hope those who try it for the first time feel the same good vibes.

#47Wait!! A game that came out 20 years ago and still gets a patch...take my money!! EDIT: Well you got it, maybe Linux with the next patch? :)
In the release notes, they say it runs well in Wine on Linux
Naa native i mean...maybe bsd's too, sure it works with wine, but since it's still maintained....

Are you paid to be a maintainer? Or is it just for fun/fame? Is the game still for sale, and does it still sell enough copies to employ someone fulltime to do this kind of work?
Right now we do it on our free time.
Yes, the game is still for sale; I know it's available on Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle. I don't know any sales numbers, sorry.

If you have the game on CD (any edition), you can download an updater for the CD version from here:

Thanks for asking! I can't speak for Deadcode (David Ellsworth, the other maintainer). Personally I have a Patreon account, though mostly it pertains to my open-source projects. And of course, tell your friends that Worms Armageddon is still alive and has active multiplayer (see https://wormnet.net/) :)
