Free Worms Team17 alike game

I like Worms games from Team17. In fact, I was crazy about Worms Armageddon at some point. But Worms games are not free. Here is how to get a legal and portable of Worms alike game:

Introducing WarMUX.

 It was called Wormux, but later changed to WarMux. It was created for LINUX, but now available for many OSes and mobile OSes including Android!

From the website:
"Exterminate your opponent in a 2D environment with toon-style scenery. Each player controls the team of his choice (penguin, gnu, firefox, wilber,...) and must destroy his adversary using more or less casual weapons. Although a minimum of strategy is required to vanquish, WarMUX is really an over-powered weapon game where, turn by turn, each member of each team attempts to produce a maximum of damage to his opponents."

Supported OS:
Mac OS X, Windows, Android, Symbian, LINUX (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Archlinux, Gentoo, OpenSuse), Maemo, Haiku, BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD).
You can even compile for your own OS (If you really a geek!). Source code is available for download.

This Scramble is not that Scramble :P

When I downloaded this JAVA game I thought it is the "scramble" game. After install it I only realize this scramble is not THE scramble, haha.

It is a freeware Java game. So no need to pay lo. But you need to have MIDP2.0 installed on your phone first la. What is MIDP? It is like the JAVA runtime on your computer, except this is the lighter version of it and use for handphone/PPC/smart phone. Some phones which are not ppc/smart phone (meaning dumb phone :P), but the manufacturer per-install the MIDP in your phone and you have some spare space in the phone, then you can download the JAVA games/apps to play/use on your phone. The advantage of JAVA is you just need to write the games/apps in JAVA language and it can be play/use on any plateform that has JAVA runtime. Meaning hor, don’t care it is window9* (do you still have it??????), WinXp, Win Vista, Win7, linux, unix, (mac? not sure le), etc etc, as long as you have JAVA runtime installed in your pc/laptop, you can run it. For phone, don't care you have Nokia (or China made Nokla :P), Sony E, iphone, HTC, dopod, etc etc, you have MIDP, you can play/run the JAVA games/apps.

Anyway back to the game, it is just a 2D shooting game. You need to rescue the people and avoid being hit by other planes, or hit on floor and castle. And at the end land on a landing area to complete a round. No sound at all, so very boring lo after a while. This is another game that is not suitable for My HTC touch, because pressing up down left right and fire is very inconvenient.
