-Move your worm (left/right) over the "food". When you ate enough food
-you advance to the next, more difficult, level.
-On the top of the screen you can see in which level you are, how many
-peas you still have to eat, your score and your lives left.
-
-*** PEAWORM
-Get as many peas possible in a single level.
-
-*** DEATHMATCH
-A multiplayer game where you have to kill the other worm(s) before they
-kill you. When you have no lives left, the game ends. The number of lives
-left for each player are displayed on the top of the screen. You can play
-with 2-4 humans.
-
-*** FOODMATCH
-Like deathmatch, with the difference that your objective is to score 100
-points. You'll get 10 points for taking a pea. If you die however, you
-lose 10.
-
-*** HUNTING
-In this game, the hunter (player 1) has to "catch" the prey (2). The hunter
-must hit the prey with his head, killing the prey and scoring 10 points.
-However, the prey gains 5 points for every 250 turns he's alive. The first
-one scoring 100 points wins.
-
-*** RACE
-In this gametype, all worms have to move around like race-cars. The first
-one to complete 3 laps wins.
-
-*** CTF
-Each player has to capture the enemy flag, and return it to its own flag.
-
-*** DOMINATION
-There are several control points which you have to control. Every ten turns
-each player is given one point for each control point he/she controls.
-The first one scoring 100 points wins.
-
-*** LEVELS &&&
-The file WORMLVL.Z80 can be altered to create your own levels. Compile this
-file by running WORMLVL.BAT. Levels may be distributed freely, but I would
-appreciate it if you send me a copy of your levels.

+
+ -=[HISTORY]=-
+
+ This is a short historical overview of Worm(y):
+ (facts may not match reality)
+ * End 1998: Matthew Shepcar releases Peaworm, worm in it's simplest form
+ * Scabby didnt release another version with levels and vertical scrolling
+ * End 1999: I (Shiar) asked him whether I could complete his Worm
+ * Jonah Cohen helped me for a while, but soon he either died or got bored
+ * June 2000: Worm just didn't want to work correctly (linkplay problems
+ mostly), so I decided to take a break to continue later..
+ * Feb 2001: After a huge break I figured it's time to complete WormY
+* Summer 2001: Completed at last, and everyone lived happily ever after
