- HD installer is contained on disk 1.
- According to the manual, players may not be able to launch the game off HD via WB due to a lack of memory. Instead, players on 2MB machines should attempt to execute the HD installed game from CLI/shell by booting with no startup-sequence (boot while holding down both mouse buttons to access this option from the early startup menu) and typing:
CD DHx: WormsDC (replace DHx with HD volume - e.g. CD DH0:WormsDC or CD Work:Games/WormsDC)
RunDC

[5] Game features mouse-keyboard/joypad control, a built-in construction kit (players can use Graffiti Mode to draw what they want and turn it into a level), speech synthesis, loading/saving teams & stats, loading/saving of customised levels (floppy/HD) created using a 3rd party graphics package and the WormPrefs utility on disk 3 (see pp15-16 of manual for further details) and a quit back to WB option.
TRIVIA: Announced in advance that WORMS: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT would be their last Amiga game, Team 17 made a point of releasing it exclusively for the Amiga 1200/4000 and foregoing the release of lucrative conversions to more commercially viable and popular platforms of the day in 1996/97 (e.g. PC, PSX).
Code Booklet [Source: Retro Commodore]
On the title screen, Type in “TOTAL WORMAGE” for SHEEP MODE. If you are using a joypad press GREEN, UP, PAUSE, PAUSE, YELLOW (which spells GUPPY - a tribute to the late Bananafish). This gives you 3 sheep, 1 banana bomb and a minigun straight away (go into Weapon Options if you need an UNLIMITED SUPPLY of sheep)
The “legendary prod move” is a not available in any shops. To activate get next to your victim and press AWAY, AWAY, TOWARDS, TOWARDS (in other words, if your worm is facing right press left, left, right, right)
The custom level option is EVEN MORE EXCITING than you thought. You can set the gravity, friction, sky and water colours for your levels. Instead of saving your level as FISHCAKE.WRM, save it as FISHCAKE.????.WRM (the 4 question marks being 4 numbers).
The first number is gravity and can be between 1 and 5 (1=very low, 3=normal 5=very high). Mars and alien levels have a gravity of 2.
The second number is friction and can be between 1 and 5 (1=very low, 3=normal, 5=very high). Arctic and alien levels have a friction of 2.
The third and forth numbers are the sky and water colours and can be between and 9 - fans of green water can now have a matching green sky.
You can also make your own message appear, when your level is chosen, by giving your level file a comment. Do this by clicking on the level icon and choosing “Information” from the Workbench menus.
