Merge edit

I think we should merge this article because there simply is not enough information to warrent it's own article. It is just a spinoff to Worms and there is not enough info to let it have it's own article. We can merge it into the series page because it is a better place for it.--EclipseSSD (talk) 19:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Have merged with Worms (video game)--Cooper-42 (talk) 17:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

It certainly does seem short enough to be merged with the main Worms article. I'd agree with the decision to merge them, as long as all of the original information from the "Worms: The Director's Cut" is added to the "Worms (series)" article. X-Malleus (talk) 21:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I say merge. Darkuranium (talk) 21:50, 16 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think in time this subject could be expanded enough to be worthy of retaining its own article and I will certainly do all I can in that regard. Christopedia (talk) 16:00, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

If it is to be merged anywhere, it quite clearly should be to Worms (1995 video game), not here - rst20xx (talk) 00:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think that W:DC should not be merged, because it is a game of it's own, even there is a little infromation! Look at other articles that are like this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.182.148.210 (talk) 16:34, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • I have expanded the article quite a bit to included the standard VG article type info. It's still only a stub, but I think it shows that there's enough to build a complete article from so I don't think the merge is necessary anymore. Bill (talk|contribs) 00:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

You've done a great job! I've added a few small additions as well as fixed the grammar. :) Christopedia (talk) 04:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Why the concentration on its low sales? edit

I think this is a bit unfair, after all:

  • It may actually have been limited edition and 5000 copies represents a complete sell-out
  • It was released in 1997, long after most people finished giving a stuff about the Amiga, versus the contemporary PCs (already with MMX and early 3D accelerators) and consoles like the N64
  • AGA-chipset Amigas weren't the most common or well-selling machines ever
  • A lot of people who might otherwise have been interested (in the category of both owning an A1200 or other AGA machine, and still being bothered enough to use it and buy new games/other software) may well have already owned a copy of the original game, maybe even the PC version with Reinforcements, and so not been entirely fussed about having an upgraded AGA-specific version given that the OCS/ECS one was already surprisingly sophisticated

As it was made more as a personal project and a farewell tribute to a platform that both launched Worms in the first place, and had been Team 17's primary focus for almost a decade, they probably didn't care too much about how well it sold so long as it could be written off as a commercial venture instead of something made mostly for in-house enjoyment that probably ate up a few too many business hours... 193.63.174.254 (talk) 15:40, 3 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
