Someone on the Worms Armageddon Discord asked for a big bumper pack containing the entire thing, so... I did that. ZIP and LhA formats are available, of course.

This is amazing! Thank you for all the hard work.

Now I'm off to hit some worms with a bat.

Vaguely Dream17-related, I've set up a Discord server for people who want to play 1st-gen Worms games together. Those early games didn't have online play, but thanks to applications like Parsec and Moonlight for PC/Mac it's possible to play the same game together remotely.

If you're interested, join the Discord server. I'll probably be trying to put a game together later tonight (US west coast time).

Hello, all!

Did an audit of our ADFs, IPFs and ISOs recently, and discovered that the IPFs we have of Worms: The Director's Cut are not in fact Worms: The Director's Cut at all! They're the original game. Oops.

Looking at our logs, it looks like those are the disk images that the SPS sent us way back when we first got permission from Team17 to host their Amiga games library (that was nearly 18 years ago now! Lawks!) so I've reached out to the SPS to see if they are able to provide the correct disk images. Probably won't get a response until after the holidays, but I'm confident we can get this corrected in January.

The EAB FTP has the correct images: /TOSEC/Games/Commodore Amiga - Games - SPS/Worms - The Director's Cut (1998)(Team 17)(AGA)[0605].zip

I've uploaded them to The Zone as well!

However, I've just downloaded them from Dream 17 to check and the link has the correct IPF's, #0605, so that is the AGA Directors Cut, so I can't see a problem?

Oh hey, I guess you're right! Looks like I may have downloaded the wrong version from the server during my audit. Whoops!

Looks like it, I've deleted the one in The Zone, no point having a needless duplicate!
