First entry. This is a great game but they should have named it “Thumb Destroyer”. Ouch!  ?

If there was a list of great Intellivision sounds, the sound of a plough ball would have to be in the top 10. So cool. 

Lol, yes, but it's equally gross when it splitches a BIG BUG!!!! HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHA ?

My 4th Worm Whomper Entry: A little more improvement. Unfortunately my game ended because I had some difficulty getting a new pesticide gun from the shed. Apparently you have to be at the very bottom of the screen to get it. I evidently wasn't low enough and Felton croaked because of it....?

 

SORRY DUDE..... ?

 

 

WORM WHOMPER - 1 PLAYER MODE - 171,392 POINTS!!!

66,555 snail puddles for me!?

 

This game really makes me appreciate the autofire feature in Astrosmash.

On the plus side I finally found a game that the intellivision 2 controller is better for! Those non-clicky side buttons are much easier to keep pressed.

Wait a minute. Did you just say the side buttons on the Inty II are easier to press than the usual Inty controller on a 2609??? Dude I recently got an Inty II and the side buttons on those controllers are like pushing against CEMENT!!!!! They don't move AT ALL!!! I can't even push them in once... I'd have to be Lou Friggin Ferigno to move them even once. Maybe it's just this one set I have, but they are HORRIBLE!!!! I switched them out for Flashback controllers....... HUZZAH!!!!! :P

Because of Mike the Knight.... :-)

Yeah I’m a bit surprised to hear that as well…Normally the Intellivision 2 is known for horrible side buttons and bad overall design. Original 2609 and Flashback controllers typically are much better.

 

But I agree this game SCREAMS for an auto-fire feature!!
