    Weird subject, I guess... but it got your attention, eh?

    "Spadge" was one of the names of the worms in "Worms" and "Worms: Reinforcements" - both of which I have, but neither of which I can get to run under Windows 2000.

    They were really written for DOS (or possibly Windows'95) and apparently even had issues with Win'98.

    Would anyone have any idea if it's possible to get the game running under Win2K or should I just go and splash out on "Worms World Party" to satisfy the need for slimey warfare?

    Free Spadge! Ban Sharkey/Smedley! ( :D )

    Cheers in advance and all that,

    Worms Armageddon is only around £5 if you shop around.
