> There was a kind of pixel preciseness with the original lemmings that contributed a lot to this being great, but that somehow seems to have got lost in newer versions.

The same thing happened to many games, not the least of which being Worms, where pretty much all of the modern versions are at most mediocre.

Worms Armageddon is one the best games I've ever played. I always see a new version and get excited but the new ones always have about half the weapons as Armageddon.

It also have one of the best game theme songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D4Yr3ebNoQ

And let us not forget The Fiddler.

You really haven't lived until you've died by a holy banana donkey armageddon nuke. (Actually, it made some balance fixes cool, like making certain guns more precise/accurate, or to make some more interesting/tactical.)

Because of The Fiddler, I never could understand why there wouldn't merely be oodles more weapons with each new game. Seemed like a no brainer. Oh well.
