Retronauts Episode 654: Worms
No, it's not about fishing.
I have the vaguest memories of a strategic combat PC game in the early 90s where players took turns firing increasingly large weapons at each other on a barren landscape. History suggests I played Scorched Earth, but that's not important; what is important is a few years later I saw Worms and realized it represented the ideal version of that game concept.
Since the Worms franchise comes to us from the United Kingdom—specifically English developer Team 17—it's no surprise that Stuart Gipp serves as host this week. Joining Stu are fellow servants of the crown Dave Bulmer and Ben Paddon as the three of them fire increasingly large worm jokes at each other.
Description: Oi, nutter! Host Stuart Gipp, Dave Bulmer and Ben Paddon activate annelid analysis for Team 17's long-running Worms series. You'll regret that!
