Hotseat multiplayer won't get hotter than this!

Worms 2, the ultimate hotseat party game loaded with wacky action and cartoon violence, is now available on GOG.com for only $5.99.

So, you think that war never changes, huh? Wrong! This war is different. This war is wacky. This war lets you weaponize bananas, sheep, little old ladies, and priceless Ming vases. This war isn't fought to gain territories--in fact, here the terrain very often gets completely obliterated in the course of battle. This war demands that you forget everything you know about tactics and just flip the crazy switch!. This war isn't won by having a stronger moral backbone--in fact, none of the combatants has any sort of backbone to speak of. This is the war of the WORMS.

Worms 2 puts you in command of a small platoon of war-hardened worms with an unspeakable arsenal of deranged, but deadly, weapons at their disposal. Your goal is to eliminate the opposing team (or teams) by any means necessary (this may include the use of the Holy Hand Grenade or Mad Cow launch). The single player campaign provides quite a challenge, but its 45 missions probably won't be enough to prepare you for the unpredictable madness of the hotseat multiplayer, where covering your opponent's eyes becomes a valid way of winning the match. The game comes with a flexible level editor and the ability to customize your team with your very own voice packs, so there's a lot of ways to get even more fun out of wormy warfare. If you're looking for a game to spice up your gaming parties--this is it!

Important notice: this version of Worms 2 aims at improving your social life and encourages you to actually meet people in real life by only supporting hotseat multiplayer mode. That's correct--online multiplayer is disabled, but really: doesn't half the fun in Worms multiplayer come from trolling your opponents by pressing spacebar in the middle of their turn? Sure it does!

Invite some friends over today and blast them into cartoony oblivion in Worms 2, for only $5.99!

So "some features don't work" is now a positive feature?
Nice selection of good OLD games released lately. Hopefully that will keep the complainers quiet for a bit when you next release a good indy game. Keep up the great work :)

It's a joke.
Quite a surprise. Didn't expect to ever see Worms 2 again for sale anywhere. Thought the next one would be Armageddon or World Party since they basically have all the features of Worms 2 (IIRC). For me this is THE Worms, the one I've spent lots of time playing with friends and family including my dad who actually is not a gamer at all. Thanks a lot, GOG!

It's Polish sarcasm. It doesn't translate very well into English.

i still have the original retail release, as well as Armageddon. and with Reloaded on Steam, there isn't really any sense in buying a second digital copy of Worms 2.

interesting, perhaps, for those who missed out on the game and don't have Reloaded.

Yeah, but it's not a very good joke.

"We don't have feature X, but who cares as it's for losers anyway, amirite?"

I got it just fine, granted my family was original from Poland so that may have something to do with it..

Anyway it's nice to see moreTeam 17 games here, hopefully we can expect6 Armageddon and World Party.

Btw, is it indeed "hotseat only"? I remember that aside from hotseat and online multiplayer the game was also playable through IPX or TCP-IP. I don't understand why that feature should be missing too.
Very awesome release. I own a ps2 and have worms world party and armageddon. So I won't be buying this as I always play it with my friend on the playstation. It's a bit silly to ask him to come to the computer when we can sit together on the couch and play. =P

But it's a great release.

From what I hear the Polish have a similar sense of humour to the British. It's called sarcasm.
Worms games never really were my cup of vodka, so I'll pass, I guess.

(I'm sure they are lots of fun while playing with a friend sitting next to you. So are all the karaoke party games too. Blech.)

Agreed. I don't appreciate GOG saying that people who play online games are social rejects.
Actualy you can play Worms trough LAN.
This is one of the best game series for a LAN party :)
