Worms United not Worms

Does anyone care besides me or is disappointed that this is "misnamed" as Worms when it is Worms United? It has added content thus the Reinforcement content plus Worms is equal to Worms United. We need to maintain the history. Like Worms Armageddon is an upgrade to Worms 2 we do not misrepresent either of those titles by misnaming them. Respect to the original Worms.

It's silly that they have given it the incorrect name, but i'm really glad that this is Worms United. I adored this game as a kid. They really should rename it though.

What precisely is the difference? I owned 'Worms' for the PS1 many years ago and it was pretty much identical to this.

I agree. I was slightly disappointed that this wasn't the original original, to be honest, but for the sale price I'll not complain.

I suppose T17 deliberately named it that way to make it stand out more from all the other Worms games available on Steam.
Kids these days maybe would have got confused if suddenly Worms United from 1996 had appeared in 2011, amongst all the other newer titles.

T17 already caused some confusion, by choosing "Worms 2 Armageddon" as the name for the XBox title "Worms".

not so much dissapointed but certenly confused, having seen this I then sepent a while shoping around for Reinforcments not finding it so got this anyway and was plecently supprised. A silly mistake, I take Bonz's point but calling it Works origional + Reinforments would have been a lot clearer

From what I've seen, is not Worms United. Contains only team deathmatch mode, missing singleplayer mode and have the videos, but not shown.

You could say it's incomplete, I fixed it from my original CD.

The Director's Cut was released for Amiga, not for PC/DOS.

I love Amiga, I love Team 17, too. Respect for Amiga 500, Amiga 1200 and Commodore 64. I played them with my brother Amiga's... :))

It's Worms + Reinforcements as far as I can tell. It's missing the option to play the original worms theme which is a shame. They've also listed it as "single player" which is downright disgusting, as this is my favourtie multiplayer game of all time.

I seem to remember the original Worms had support for networked play if you knew how to set it up. Definitely not the original Worms game this, but to be fair, Reinforcements was my favourite of the lot - apart from the menu colour scheme.

I think the name "Worms: Classic" would be Most appropriate.

Also, since they are running this on dosbox, why don't they go ahead and release a Mac and Linux version? They can use 99% of the same files, only the DosBox engine and it's config files has to be switched out.
