Used to love this with a few beers against mates.

InvisibleMan

looking at the screenshot of 3D minigolf, it looks like the game that sierra dropped from the pc afew years ago, Mingolf Manics, which is open source for anyone to update. It was a really good game

Worms was and still is toss (IMHO)

Never did get it

Scorched Earth I enjoyed for a while, then it got boring.

Nowt queer as folk

ESH

I suppose some did and some didn't get it.
I did and what a fantastic game it was. I posted a thread wanting to install the original worms on my pc as the current version on the psp isn't a patch on the original. I can do this instead.

I also remember scorched earth on the amiga PD the nuke was cool!!

Hanslow

Was worms just like scorched earth, or was there more to it?

InvisibleMan

not a bad price then for some of the bigger ones like the Oblivion KOTN.

Worms ruled as it was ace on the PS after some wacky baccy (well back in the days I partaked anyway) or beer

The original Worms on the Amiga was excellent.

Although I've been enjoying Worms 4 on the PS2.

badcompany
