Herjazz Worms Levels
====================
Who says coverdisks ruin Amiga hardware and software sales? Siren Software
can thank Amiga Format's recent CD coverdisks for the £160 Mediavision CD-ROM
I bought from them (As well as a few PD companies for various CD orders).
Your previous disk based applications pursuaded me I needed a Hard drive, and
what use are Word processing packages without a Printer? (Apart from writing
this). All these extra hardware obviously eat up more memory, and so a fat
cheque for an accelerator/extra ram will soon be in the post. Will also come
in handy for the s-l-o-w Dungeon Master 2 which I recently bought.
Full marks AF. The mag has recently become thinner, but who cares when there
is 10 mags worth on the CD (How about some sort of a correspondents section,
wanted items, sales, that sort of thing?).
Those Worms levels;
"The Cage". Has no good starting places at all. Your worms either start on
a cliff face (totally exposed), or caged in circles (more like to kill
yerself with bazooka shots than anyone else). The cage part also looks worse
than I originally wanted, as I had to enlarge it ("No room for worms", or
something).
"Ye News". Complete with ramps which rolling mines adore. Also, Mines can
sometimes start on the tower. Firing explosive shots at it is sensible.
"Skulk". Fall, and you die. Very congested due to lack of starting points.
Look at the old woman on the very right of this level; sometimes your worms
can start on her arm-pits!
"Train". Similar to THE CAGE, except your worms can reach your opponents
(And they you). Still not much room for any major explosive weapons usage,
so handguns and firepunches are the order of the day here.
"TrainStati". Short for TRAINSTATION (Which is what the file is actually
called). Suffered more than anything else in the colour reduction needed to
do a Worms map. In its original 256 colours, the people looked really
sinister (Like everyone looks waiting for trains). If there is any more room
on this floppy, I'll include the 256 colour version for anyone who wants to
try and make a better job.
Sorry that all the levels are in shades of grey. Eight colours (Minus a few
compulsory colours- pink, for gods sake) does not leave much room for serious
experimenting.
Anyone interested in using my graphics in a game or something, contact me.
These worms levels are quickly compiled from scans of a few pieces from a
collection of hundreds of illustrations that I do. I'm a final year Graphics
(Illustration) student at Liverpool University, (Hopefully) going onto a
Masters next year.
