What's it all about?
In the wormderful world of Worms, you live by one rule - kill or be killed. This turns-based game is outrageously violent and outrageously funny! Up to four platoons of four worms battle it out over a multi-directional scrolling landscape with a variety of weapons at each worm's disposal. The winner is the person who has a worm (or worms) surviving at the end of the fracas.

Worms - what are they good for?

• Bazookas, homing missiles, dynamite, hand grenades, cluster bombs and much more with which to worminate all other worms. There's over 1000 frames of Worm animation!
  
• And fight over weapon pick-ups and ammo crates which are occasionally dropped from the sky
  
• Worm-to-worm combat abilities such as 'Dragon Punches' and the soon to be legendary 'Prod' move. Yes, inch up to an enemy Worm, give him a quick prod, and then watch him tumble down a cliffside!
  
• Plus there's tunnelling equipment for that quick escape - after all, no worm likes looking down the twin barrels of a shotgun. So whip out your pneumatic drill or even blast your way underground with a blowtorch!
  
• Not forgetting, of course, ropes and bungees for that extra element of fun and strategy
  
• Call in air strikes on enemy positions, build bridges over water obstructions, make use of bungee ropes!
  
• Wage this war of the worms over numerous stages: woodland, snow and ice, fantasy and futuristic scenarios, 1970s psychedelic levels as well as World War II terrains... and more!
  
• Enjoy the characteristic speech that is individual to each worm. Even add your own speech if you're privileged enough to own a sampler
• Become attached to your worms - give them names, preserve their energy levels and enjoy their birthdays should they live that long. You see, it's not all gore and violence... there's a lot of love in this game, too
• Modify the game to suit you: define time limits in which you must make your move, play in teams or play every worm for himself, determine the number of rounds in a match, etc
  
• Multi-player option - a maximum of 16 people can play at any one time
  
• A networmed version will be even bigger and better!
  

"Worms is one hell of a crazy game... unique!"
Dave Upchurch - Editor, PC Games

"Team17's Worms is a guaranteed Number One hit. I'll stake my bandana on it."
Dave Perry - Channel 4's Gamesmaster and SKY's Gamesworld

"Worms will be the most playable game of 1995."
Dave Westley - Editor, PC Power

"Worms is extremely impressive - we can see it becoming one of our biggest titles this year."
GAME, the UK's leading computer software retailer

"Team17's PR bloke has made the trip down from Wakefield to London three times to show us his Worms; the first time to show it off, but the second and third because we did the telephone equivalent of getting down on our knees and begging. And not just us - PC Review's staff have joined in the fun, as have PC Games, C&VG, and sundry other people from our building. 1995 is the year of the Worms and that's no exaggeration."
Andy Nuttall - Editor, The One

What else can we say? Worms will be the hit game of 1995.

Alien Breed 3D

• Featuring a revolutionary copper-based 3D engine
• Fully texture-mapped and Gouraud shaded 3D graphics, recreating that special Breed atmosphere
• 360 degrees rotation and superlatively smooth, fast moving action - unlike other games of this kind!
• Elevators, staircases, outside scenes, dungeons, gloomy corridors and many more spine-chilling locations
• Check out the astonishing water effects - walk waist-high through water-filled corridors, the rippling water refracting the shapes of alien creatures and various other objects lying under the surface
• 3D mapping system featuring full 'logical' 3D maps
• Optional two player mode via link-up and, because you can back-up your Alien Breed 3D disks, there's no need to buy two copies of the game
• Fantastic split-screen link-up available on higher spec Amiga machines
• Over 20 levels of life-threatening chaos and mayhem
• Collectable weapons, first aid kits, ammunition, key cards and more
• Real-time inverse-kinematic objects. This means the creatures in the game act individually and realistically as part of a model, as though real-life. So, for example, an alien moving its foot would automatically affect the rest of its leg, appearing as though the in-game character had bones in its body
• Highly intelligent aliens unlike anything you've encountered before; they seek you out and they HEAR you!
• The result of five years of hard-hitting Breed intensity

Alien Breed 3D ain't no fairground ride.

Alien Breed 3D ain't no Sunday picnic.

Alien Breed 3D is all-out, non-stop, alien warfare... and they don't take prisoners.

Alien Breed 3D... It'll rip your head off!

"The emphasis is firmly on delivering a completely playable, fun simulation in the mould of our other arcade sports series titles. Final Over certainly has plenty of amusing animations and all the features that cricket fans demand." Martyn Brown, Creative Director, Team17.

What's it all about?
At last, there is a cricket game which has all the crucial features you'd expect and more! But more importantly, Final Over has been developed with that Team17 speciality in mind - playability.

As a one or two player game, Final Over harnesses the finest cricketing qualities and techniques in a single, complete package. But the real beauty of the game is that whilst being the most comprehensive game of its ilk, it still remains easy to play and forever entertaining. What's more, with Final Over being the follow-up to the hugely popular and highly acclaimed Arcade Pool and King Pin, users are promised a cricket game that is equally authentic, addictive and part of a well loved Arcade Sports series that has thrilled Amiga gamesplayers to new realms of gamesplaying heaven!

Final Over pushes back the boundaries...

• Featuring implementation of all cricket rules
• Intricately designed and animated sprites who all stand, throw, run, catch, dive, roll, pick up, crouch, bat, bowl, celebrate and much more
• True to life umpires who are so believable, they even make the occasional dodgy decision!
• Many predefined teams. These include county teams as well as national teams from around the globe. Final Over is even flexible enough for you to create your own teams!
• Each player has his own set of characteristics such as bowling ability, batting ability, strength, pace and many more applicable strengths individual to each sportsman
• Fully detailed cricket scoreboard
• Choose your bowling attack: outswing, inswing, spinners, fast bowlers, set power and direction of your ball for each shot, etc
• And make your shots when batting by use of all joystick directions and the firebutton. Can you hit the ball for six or are you destined to be a duck all your life?
• Select from limited over matches and one to five day series
• Multi-directional, smooth scrolling field
• Accurate represenation of cricket with dashes of subtle humour for that extra funfilled touch
• Realistic sound effects of leather hitting willow, crowd cheers, player outbursts and more!
• Outstanding value for money - an original game at a down-to-earth budget price
• And that all-important one or two player mode for the final spit and polish

Final Over: Arcade Sports Cricket - you'll have a Lara laughs with what is yet another fantastic addition to the all-new, whiter than white sporting series from Team17.

Team 17 - Not just a pretty game!

Back to the top of this page

Enter into informative, sometimes frightening but often light-hearted conversation with the many charismatic creatures of the land. Discover treasures, use curious objects to overcome puzzles and hazards, uncover the deepest, darkest secrets of Speris. There is so much to do but quandaries await courageous Cho from around every corner he turns.

Speris Legacy is beautifully designed, appealing to all yet always holding something charming and very special for the individual. Novel, imaginative and accomplished, Speris Legacy is a golden opportunity for you to sit back, relax and enjoy an elegant concoction of arcade fun and adventuring action.

• A large quest comprising of over 50 complex puzzles and sub-games

• Strong puzzle elements: collect items, use them wisely and combine objects to prompt necessary results. Always remember to examine artefacts carefully via your character's inventory screen
• Sword-slashing action as you come face to face with the miserable, evil hordes who roam the wilderness. It's imperative, therefore, that you discover mightier weapons and practice the art of sorcery once spells have been learnt and potions been identified
• Vitality and experience meters
• Full 50Mhz, eight-way scrolling
• Atmospheric in-game music that adapts to your situation; enter a church and shiver to Gothic chimes, explore woodland to the sound of merry melodies, etc
