The Worms series wriggles on to Evercade

Evercade promised some big news last week, and here it comes in the form of large explosions caused by tiny creatures. The Worms series from Team 17 celebrates 25 years of cute/psychotic kinetic killstreaks this week. 

To keep that legacy alive, the wrigglers are coming to Evercade in a trio of games arriving next May. Worms Collection 1 packs in 3 classic titles the original Worms (16-bit), Worms Armageddon and Worms Blast (both 32-bit releases). 

Worms offers the classic experience and Armageddon ramps up the insanity, while Worms Blast provides something different with a Puzzle Bobble-style challenge with the option to blow your CPU rival out of the water. Since Worms is a pass-to-play, this is a proper opportunity to share Evercade with friends for up to four-player murderous fun.  

Worms originally exploded onto the gaming scene on the Amiga, then came out for pretty much every 16/32 bit platform, while Armageddon and Blast came out for PC, PlayStation 3, Nintendo 64,  PlayStation and Dreamcast - presumably they are using the PlayStation versions?

Anyway, check back in next May (which does seem a long time away) for some awesomely devious annelid destruction.
