Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party were my favourite PC games and it sucks that none of them are compatible with Windows Vista, I mean you'd have thought there would be a patch of some kind to fix it. No wonder PC gaming is dying jeez.

I doubt there is a way but if you guys know of one please let me know I miss playing these games they are classics.

uhh... W:A works with vista

i would assume the same for WWP, I guess.
I'm not sure what the problem is with vista users thinking all games and programs no longer work for it, i've never had a problem with any game or program so far.

also: im too lazy to properly type up this post.

Make sure your drivers are up to date and W:A is actually patched to the latest version (3.6.28.0). Should fix everything. If not there are some registry fixes supplied with the patch that should stop other issues. You should probably check before saying there isn't a patch to fix it ;)

Not sure about wwp

This time, the compatability issue is real. There is a multitude of problems that people can have when running W:A. Buster, how exactly does W:A not work?

W:A had a pathetically low frame rate for me until I updated my Nvidia graphics card to the latest forceware.

Opinion here, but strongly influenced by experience

ATI BLOOMING SUCK! Honestly they are horrible.

Back to teh point, WA on vista works fine, you may need to disable aero while playing, or run as admin, apart from that should have no major issues. If colour goes funny, minimise WA and open an explorer window. Strangely that works

A friend tried it on Vista and it worked at full. Is AERO working on 16 bits? I don't think so. Eh?
