Worms has been phenonemally popular in all formats it has been released on,
but unfortunately it seems that the original Amiga version is the most buggy.
This is mainly because it was compiled using Blitz Basic. Blitz Basic produces
the slowest, most ridiculously bloated code I have ever seen in my life. Also,
it does not support playing samples from Fast memory, which would of course
make a lot of difference to Worms, which loads up to about 750K of samples.
The HDWORM executable also seems to be missing a vital trap handler which
would allow Worms to exit safely if it runs out of memory. Lastly, the CD
features cannot be used without a CD32 pad.

WormsShell aims to fix the above bugs and deficiencies. However, at the
moment, I have yet to add any speedups or Fast-memory-playing since these may
be quite complex. In addition, WormsShell provides a number of useful options,
which make it easier to use some of the special features of Worms.
