+HISTORY =------------------------------------------------------------------
+This is a historical overview of Worm(y) (facts may not match reality)
+* End 1998: Matthew Shepcar releases Peaworm, worm in it's simplest form
+* Scabby didn't release another version with levels and vertical scrolling
+* End 1999: I (Shiar) asked him whether I could complete 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: Shiar finally completed Wormy and everybody was happy (???)
