Would Worms Armageddon soon be appearing on a Sinclair Spectrum or Commodore C64 near you? This screenshot appeared along with a photograph of a cassette tape bearing the Worms logo in many popular gaming press magazines and on sites across the world wide web. Development head honcho Martyn Brown was quoted at the time as saying 'It may come as a surprise that we've developed for the Spectrum, but it only cost us £150 to do!'.
Team17 fooled many people within the industry, and gained respect from certain members of the press as a result of this elaborate hoax.
