Original Worm

Wormy was originally made by the famous Matthew Shepcar (Scabby). These are the versions he made:

Peaworm:

The original Peaworm for TI-86. Your worm had to eat as many peas as possible. Nice (and very small) game, but got boring after a while. Released 28th December 1998.

Wonderworm:

Don't think he ever released this new version: it featured vertical scrolling, greyscale and (just a few) levels.

Willy Wonderworm:

A very pretty version of Worm by Matt (and Jimmy, Andreas and Johannes Rajala) for the Game Boy Color! Really smooth, recognisable food, music&sound, and 5 levels. Released July 1999.
