System Requicements
This game is designed to run on a variety of Macs. It has
been tested to work on these models:
PowerBook 1400cs, Macintosh Quadra 950, Macintosh II ci,
and iMac
Your mac must support these requicements for the game to run:
• System 7.0.1 or better. 8.x recommended.
• *Sound Manager 3.x. You need this if you want to hear sound.
• 16 colors. You may play this game in any number of colors,
but it is best played in 256 colors. Higher number of colors
requices more memory, and slows the game down a little.
• Mac with at least 68020 processor. This game will NOT work
on models which have the 68000 processor, for example, on
a Mac Plus.
• The memory requirements depend on the number of colors
you are using:
16 colors - 1.5 MB
256 colors - 2.0 MB
Thousands colors - 2.5 MB
Millions colors - 3.? MB
NOTE:
The game may crash if you try to use too many colors without
enought memory!!!
*Sound Manager 3.x is not requiced for the game to run, but
without it you won't be able to hear any sounds. Sound Manager 3.x
has been built-in into the system since MacOS 7.5.
Introduction - a brief desciption of the game
Welcome again to the exciting world of worms! In this game,
your mission is to alone or with your friend guide your worms,
Sam and Sal, through many different levels, eating all the dots
in each level, while looking out for not to hit the wall. The game
features 30 juicy levels. The point of the game is to get as
high score as possible. At the begin, you have to eat 10 dots
on a level to complete it. If you play through the all 30
levels, the game will start from the beginning, just as more
difficult (you'll have to eat 10 dots more each level to complete),
and so on. For example, on level 666 you have to eat 230 dots.

Bug Reports
No software is completely bug-free. This program has been tested with
only this hardware:
PowerBook 1400cs, Macintosh Quadra 950, Macintosh IIci, and iMac.
It should run fine on other macs too, which fill up the system
requicements. However, if it happens, that you find a bug, you
should send me a bug report, so that I can (or at least try to)
fix it. Remember to check out for newest version on the internet.
Send your bug reports to address below "Contact info" section.
Other comments and suggestions are also welcome!
