Short: Two original levels for Worms Author: wagnerr@pilot.msu.edu (Richard J. Wagner) Uploader: wagnerr pilot msu edu (Richard J Wagner) Type: game/data Architecture: generic WORMS_ICE+MELT.lha Two Worms levels: ICEBUB.3242.WRM and MELTCAP.WRM By Richard J. Wagner wagnerr@pilot.msu.edu http://www.msu.edu/user/wagnerr/ Monday 29 January 1996 Description: Two original levels for use with the game "Worms" by Team17/Ocean for Amiga computers. The level "Meltcap" is several floors of metal girders perfect for Ninja Ropes, Shotguns, and the Dark uses of Mines. The level "Icebub" features slippery ice, icicles, an ice bubble, and floating ice cubes. The Story of Meltcap: In the distant future, on the planet of the worms, civilization is progressing well. Bullet trains criss-cross the globe, telecommunications is reshaping society, and skyscrapers decorate the horizon. But an intensly hot, radioactive meteorite has crashed in the arctic. The ice caps are rapidly melting, and most cities are already underwater. A few construction workers have become trapped on an unfinished skyscraper. Food is limited, doom is imminent, and tempers are flaring. Unfortunately, a few crates of weapons and ammunition were found floating in the rising waters and were captured by the workers. You must now try to protect yourself from your armed co-workers in the hope of somehow being rescued. The Story of Icebubble: Creatures of all kinds love to live on the boundaries between two terrains. Humans are attracted to the beaches where land and sea meet. Monkeys live in the trees where the earth meets the sky. Bacteria live deep in the sea where sulfrous volcanic vents spurt into cold, dark saltwater. Worms, too, are drawn to such dynamic boundaries. These particular worms live in a place where water meets itself in the forms of liquid, ice, and vapor. The phases constantly rearrange as water froths, bubbles, freezes, and melts. It's a very exciting life for a worm, but it's also very dangerous. You see, ice is fine, but worms can't swim and worms can't fly. And having a Bazooka aimed at one's face does not make one feel any safer. Installation: You have the game Worms by Team17/Ocean, right? So after extracting ICEBUB.3242.WRM and MELTCAP.WRM from WORMS_ICE+MELT.lha, just copy them to the TWCUSTOM drawer in your Worms directory (if you play from a hard drive) or to a regular floppy. If you put them on your hard drive, you can play them by clicking the right mouse button while a level is starting and then typing "ICEBUB" or "MELTCAP". If you put them on a floppy, you will have to use the Change Levels Disk option under the RECORDS! menu before starting to play. By the way, if you have more than 26 levels in your TWCUSTOM drawer then some levels might go unrecognized by the game and you will have to play them from a floppy. You can check which levels Worms thinks are there by using the List Custom Levels option in the RECORDS! menu. Enjoy!
