Screen Shots |
Without a doubt, Worm Whomper was a game whose title
instilled trepidation in me when I first heard it. In fact, it took me 18 years
to get the game! When I first played it on the IntelliCart, I immediately
realized that I'd overlooked a gem of a game for all that time. This game is
fun! It's got a rarity as far as Activision games go in that there's a
"soundtrack" - albeit a basic one. The action is fast and frantic, and the sound
effects are good. Also, this game sports the most moving objects I've ever seen
in an Intellivision game. The screen literally crawls with critters–there
must be a bit of good trickery going on there! In fact, it looks like perhaps the
same stunt Masters of the Universe pulled, but just not as colorful. You'll get
very sore trigger fingers playing this game - the only knock I have is that
there's no autofire feature. Best Score: 125303 (Wave 23)

Title screen for Worm Whomper. |

Clever programming leads you to believe there are dozens of moving objects on the screen at any given item. Fast, furious, fun game. |
