It's a good time... after patching it
I'm honestly very hesitant to recommend Worms 2 when there's the infinitely superior Worms Armageddon available for purchase on GoG. And the fact that this game barely functions without applying fan patches to make it run on modern operating systems like Windows 10. Gameplay wise, the game is a team-based deathmatch where you have to strategically plot out your team of worms actions as you fight against your opponents with an arsenal of weapons. Your weapons ranging from handguns, bazookas, grenades, missiles and even sheep! Just wait until you witness the glory that is the Holy Hand Grenade and you'll find yourself loving the zany charm of this game! But this can also be had with later, and better functioning, titles like Armageddon that expanded more on the tools of mass destruction at your disposal. Are you starting to see why this game is a hard sell for me yet? I can't speak for anyone else that might have an older OS running this game, but I would hold off on getting this game unless you really want to complete your collection of Worms games and have confidence that they'll work out of the box. I also ran into some smaller issues even after patching it with the "W2-Plus" (link down below) just launching the game as is until I just had to go with the frontend where you can do custom matches against CPU teams. Couldn't really do much with the campaign either from my experience. If you really do want to make the plunge for historical or collector reasons, I highly recommend getting this game when it's discounted just so it stings you less.
