Worms is a COMPLETE rip-off....

Have you guys noticed that worms is a complete rip-off from that online game called gunbound? i just saw worms in gameplay and even though i loved gunbound a cpl years back, wow, this is an EXACT clone. I'm a little upset cuz i heard all this hype for Worms to find out it's this? w/e, i guess not all games can b original. 

for those of you who have never heard of gunbound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyKQIgE139I

and gunbound could not have possibly copied worms cuz gunbound has been around for years.

how many years? worms has been around for many years as well, appearing on ps1.   im talking about worms: armaggedon and im sure there was 1 or 2 titles b4 that. 

and who cares, if you like gunbound you'll like worms as well.  games take inspiration and good things from other games and incorporate them into their own.  sure it looks almost exactly the same, but if i were the developers of whichever came first i'd feel flattered that they liked the game soo much.  also who made gunbound? maybe its the same developer, or maybe its just a mod or something.   i dunno

Never heard of Gunbound, was it a ripoff of Scorched Earth? That's basically all Worms is, it's just cartoony and has a sense of humor.zymase

Not sure any of these tots were around to play Scorched Earth....  you're showing your age or you like dos based 2d 12 color games!

Worms ripped off Scorched Earth.

Gunbound ripped off both Worms and Scorched Earth.

But ALL of them ripped off Gorillas.

HAHAHA, I forgot about Gorillas!

its alright i wasnt trying to yell at you or make you sound stupid.  i just havent heard of gunbound so i had to use the right words so i didnt make myself sound like i knew what i was talking about when i didnt.  i just knew worms has been around for along time.  worms has wind, no vehicles though but awesome weapons, not really any power ups though that i remember, maybe 1 or 2 though.  oh you can also have different audio or w/e (word escapes me at the moment) for your worms.  like german, cowboy, alien, hippy, and many many others.  they are pretty funny. 

worms is a great game, i just hope XBLA does a good job on it.  i cant stand playing contra or paperboy, i dont think they did a good job on them.  thank god for demos, woulda been money wasted.

worms was out on pc well before ps1

[QUOTE="eddy5791"][QUOTE="SouL-Tak3R"]The 2d worms is still the best lollinkinworm

Yo, Worms ripped off Gunbound, which ripped off Scorched Earth, which ripped off Return Fire, which ripped off Syndicate Wars, which I'm pretty dang sure ripped off

Kabuki Warriors.

I don't know nuthin' 'bout nuthin' 'cept the word on the street is everybody who's anybody is down with a pimp named Silky.

BTW, worst topic and thread ever.

EDIT: Tell me something good.  Is this game worthwhile?  I want to get a fun XBL arcade game.

Worms ripped off Scorched Earth.

But it IS kindof a ripoff of that old Gorillas Q-BASIC game where you throw exploding bananas at each other. Can I get a witness? That game was the bomb!

You could also make an argument for ripping off Human Cannonball for Atari 2600... but that's a little different because you shot the man into a basket. So it's sortof like the "Breakout" to Gorillas's "Pong"... so Gorillas is more like it.

All hail the Commodore 64. If it wasn't for space issues (that thing took up like half a room when you had multiple 51/4 drives, printer, etc.), I would probably still play that thing. Red Storm Rising was a deeply satisfying experience. So was Racing Destruction Set, Summer Games, Wasteland, Ultima, etc. etc. Is there a C64 forum here? Remember the days of 1200 baud modems and 20MB hard drives that cost like $500? If you've forgotten, you probably don't want to remember.ACESandElGHTS

anybody heard of canon fodder? bet that game was around way before any of theseibanezdropd
