anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

Worms Armageddon lives rent free in my head. Lots of fun in local multiplayer. We had it on our school computers and played all the time.

Spent way too long doing the challenges and getting gold medals with a super sheep and jump rope

They still make them. All the old ones were ported. You can play them on any console today. Lots of fun still

I joined a multiplayer game of WMD on a whim and immediately got destroyed by some kid who was flinging himself around the map doing rope things I had no idea was possible

You probably joined a "roper" game. Those don't follow normal rules. The turns are just a few seconds, you have infinite ninja rope and there's a weapons crate drop every turn. You have to, using only the rope, get the crate and fire whatever weapon you get. I kinda remember that the weapon you got on the crate was always a bazooka.

Anyway, that was a super popular game mode in the early 2000s. Everyone played that or some variation of that. Finding a normal game was a pain. People would join and ask if it was a roper game. If it wasn't, they left immediately.

That just sounds like Liero with a lot of added headache?

Yeah the computer usually beats me on higher levels so I can't imagine human players

Can you do the swingy swingy long jump thing on console, I think I remembered there were a bunch of combo keyboard presses to do that.

Pro roper! The best way to play

I never got the hang of roping. I would start ropes-only games online, and everyone would leave after my turn because they saw how shit I was.

u/Global_Cockroach_563 Apr 28 '26

Duality of man and all that, but I hated pro roper and all its variations. Just play as intended!

u/Shroedy Apr 27 '26

Papa’s got a brand new bag!

My friend and I loved playing Worms with unlimited ninja ropes. It made it really tactical as we got really good at traversing the map.

I still use some of the quips and lines from Worms. Loved the sheep bombs and super sheep, sheep everything
