Hello Bit Biters,

So, one of the original developers from Team17 (who left the company decades ago) kindly chose to donate his personal and historic Worms haul to the Retro Recipes kitchen, including the dev Amiga 4000 containing original FMV mesh files from Worms 1, ten hard disks, backup tapes, Team17 floppies, posters, E3 display & pass, letterheads, compliment slips, and even incredible original Worms artwork pencil sketches that helped shape the game.



But in a way, these don't belong to our little channel at all. In a way perhaps they belong to the whole community. After all many of us grew up with the Worms game on Amiga. It's part of all of us. Yes my friend... you have Worms.

Anyway, please help me decide what to do with this little Wormery! I can't guarantee I'll pick the highest poll entry (other factors are at play behind the scenes) but it will help a great deal so thank you. Also please note whatever course we take, all proceeds will go to carefully selected charities and the details will be made public.

Cheerio!
Your friend in retro, Perifractic

What shall we do with the Worms treasure trove?:

I'd make several videos and make a deal with Team17 where you give it to them in exchange for some interviews on the history.

Interesting idea. There will be about 4 videos anyway... but I'm pretty sure there are already interviews out there. I like to try to put a unique spin on things rather than redo things, but we'll see! Thanks for the input. 👍🕹

What is the ultimate goal? Preserve history or make money for charity? Since the Team17 company still exists and they have a museum, it makes sense to give most of it to them if its goal #1. Not sure if the former developer had that in mind...Selling the stuff on eBay makes it available to more collectors that are interested and worthwhile if goal #2 is more important. I do understand there are other considerations and that it is a large collection...so a mix of the above has my vote 👍🏻🕹

Well, that's kind of the dilemma. I don't have a goal, as in a way the machines landed in my lap. I had no preconceived plan. So really the poll is asking what the goal should be. But it seems people like the "mix" idea yes. 👍🕹
