Worms coming to iPhone →
Great! But this remark is unfair:
…and we all know that [iShoot] was heavily inspired by Team 17’s classic invertebrate artillery game, Worms.
Has anyone over age 25 purchased iShoot except me?
iShoot is a clone of Scorched Earth, a game that came out in 1991. Scorched Earth was an improved and expanded interpretation of the concepts mostly pioneered by Tank Wars a year earlier.
The first version of Worms was released in 1995, and many elements were “heavily inspired” by Scorched Earth and Tank Wars.
It’s unfair to all parties to imply that iShoot is a Worms clone.
