This game does work on Windows 10.

All the most recent reviews of the game - those which claim it does not work on Windows - are incorrect. The game can be run on Windows (notably windows 10 - which is to assume that's what is being used by most in 2020), but you have to get certain files for it to work which can be located in this forum thread here on GOG's website: https://www.gog.com/forum/worms_series/any_way_to_run_worms_2_on_windows_10/post6 So, like a vast majority of people - after trying a game - and it doesn't install correctly, they get frustrated and don't look for any solutions, get impatient and review bomb games. This is - understandably - maybe due to time constraints on people mixed with over-hyped emotions about discovering a piece of nostalgia which lead to immediate disappointment. However, I can confirm that this thread that is linked has the solution. It is simple. You install the game and download the zip folders from the thread. This thread is actually found somewhere (I don't remember which page it was, sometimes serendipity reigns supreme when you're adamant) in this review section, so someone already has been able to try it out & get it to work, and luckily a group of people really went deep into figuring out how to get it to work on modern Windows OS'. The link above should immediately take you to the exact post where the person has found the solution to the issues related to the game. Another note about this Worms 2 is that this is also the version of the game that was updated from the version 1.00. Which version I am not sure, but is not the original disc from the release date (Ver. 1.00) and a version above 1.00 (could be v.101 and up) which means that the cheat codes are different codes. Notably to get all weapons is not TEAM17MicroProse as a team name, it's changed: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/47995-worms-2/cheats As for other codes, I am not sure of yet, but overall it works.

A Great Game, a Crappy Release w/o W2P

RECOMMENDED if and only if you install Worms 2 Plus patch that makes it work. Apparently T17 dumped this game onto GOG and did not bother to fix the DirectX / Direct Draw related issues. Without the patch it does not work at all on Win10 - it pretty much soft-locks the system. With the Worms 2 Plus patch the issues go away and they even added the backflip move from Worms Armageddon. 5/5 when it works. Worms 2 has the charm of a complete feel that earlier and later games lacked. Worms 1 had a lot of weapons you did not want to use (Uzi and Shotgun had about half the damage) and WA brought the incomplete feel back by adding weird unnecessary stuff such as the Battle Axe that halves the health. If you think WA is better and that is why it is maintained, that is wrong. T17 simply found some free slave to maintain the game for them. Like with some custom-patched GOG games, running the Worms 2 Plus -patched game from the GOG Galaxy still crashed it from me. The "frontend" executable should run it as it skips all the videos and that is what I used. No technical found in the patched game. There are no significant differences to how it ran fine on a Win 98SE OS. Even the audio tracks played during the levels, which seemed to be the problem when running the non-patched game on Win7. The Worms 2 Plus release I used was 1.6 that was released about two (2) weeks ago. It is a Scorched Earth variant where you control chatty worms that shoot one another with stuff like bazookas and grenades. It is a team-based last man standing. It does sound boring, though if you do not take it too seriously, it is interesting to see what happens. Worms 2 is a game that might get old, though gets bad. It was a great improvement over Worms 1 that often got too gritty and serious because of how more demanding and skill-intensive it was to play. In the Worms 2 they toned down the AI difficulty so that normals humans have a chance against it.

The game doesn't work

I have tried on both of my computers to get the game to work. It always crashes in the front end. I've gotten the game to actually get a match once on each computer after an hour of troubleshooting and then the game itself is laggy and impossible to play. Waste of $6 for what should be a great game.
