About Worms

Worms is a turn-based strategy game that combines tactical decision-making with elements of randomness. Players control teams of worms and take turns using a wide range of weapons and tools to defeat opposing teams, resulting in varied gameplay outcomes. The game offers numerous possible strategies and scenarios, contributing to high replayability. While the basic mechanics are simple, players may require some time to become familiar with controls, weapons, and tactics. Worms supports both single-player and multiplayer modes. Team17 planned on producing Worms for the Virtual Boy back in 1995. Though after a few weeks, they cancelled this plan due to the lack of interest of the publisher and the expected failure of the Virtual Boy.

Never re-released — the original cartridge is the only way to playMedium counterfeit risk

Atari Jaguar prices, all games & how to spot a fake

The last licensed Jaguar release — 1998, two years after the console died, from a publisher keeping the lights on alone.

Team17's turn-based artillery classic needs no defense: cartoon invertebrates lobbing absurd ordnance across destructible terrain works as well now as it did then, and it supports sixteen players hot-seat — more than the console's entire four-player peripheral library manages. Telegames shipped it May 15, 1998, after Atari Corporation had ceased to exist, making it the final licensed release in the Jaguar library.

How it was made

Team17 developed the Atari Jaguar version. Credited: designed by Andy Davidson, Cris Blyth; art by Rico Holmes; music by Bjørn Lynne.

Cartridge & preservation record

Cartridge ROM capacity 16 megabit (2 MB), measured from the preserved cartridge image.

Cartridge data from the No-Intro preservation database (metadata only — names, sizes and checksums, no game data).

How the Atari Jaguar version differs

The last Atari-licensed game ever released for the Jaguar. Telegames published it on 15 May 1998, having become the console's last remaining publisher — two months after JTS Corporation sold Atari's assets, including the name, to Hasbro Interactive.

Team17 began a Virtual Boy port of Worms in 1995 that was cancelled.

Also on other platforms

Amiga. The original home after the Casio calculator prototype — Davidson moved development there in August 1993, which is where the graphical style and the worms themselves arrived.
PlayStation. The North American release required considerable negotiation: Sony Computer Entertainment had a standing policy against publishing 2D games for the console. It returned to the PlayStation Store in 2023, running under emulation on PS4 and PS5 without trophy support.

Worth knowing

The last Atari-licensed game ever released for the Jaguar. Telegames published it on 15 May 1998, by which point it was the only software publisher left on the platform. Two months earlier, on 13 March 1998, JTS Corporation had sold all of Atari Corporation's assets — the Atari name included — to Hasbro Interactive, who shortly afterwards released the Jaguar's rights. So this is the final title to ship under an Atari licence, arriving two years after the console was discontinued and sold mostly by direct order from Telegames' own websites.
It began on a graphing calculator. Andy Davidson started it in 1990 as Artillery, on a Casio graphing calculator, purely to amuse himself, working from the tank games of the 8-bit era. He moved it to the Amiga in August 1993, wanted the animation quality and humour of Lemmings, and arrived at worms as characters after experimenting with designs in Deluxe Paint. He then renamed it Total Wormage — quite possibly after Midway's Total Carnage, which also sits in this library.
Rejected by everyone, then signed on the spot. Davidson pitched the finished 55,000-level game to publisher after publisher without success. He showed it at ECTS in September 1994, where Team17 co-founder Martyn Brown saw it and made an offer to develop and publish there and then.

Before you buy

Scarce — a very late, small Telegames run — and one of the pricier licensed carts as a result. Verify Telegames-era packaging; medium risk at these values.

Specific to the format this title shipped in

Buying a Jaguar cartridge

Cartridges are the durable half of this library — the risk is provenance, not decay. The platform has an active post-commercial scene, so the question is usually which era a cartridge is from rather than whether it still works.

Ask for a photo of the label edge and the cartridge back. Reproductions are usually printed on adhesive photo stock and sit proud of the label recess.
Donor shells are the common trick: sanding marks on the back, or adhesive ghosting where an older label was lifted, are the strongest signals.
Cartridges are region-free on this platform, so a cheaper PAL copy plays on a North American console — a price difference is not evidence of a fake.
