''Worms'' is a series of artillery tactical video games developed by British company Team17. In these games, small platoons of anthropomorphic worms battle each other across a deformable landscape with the objective being to become the sole surviving team. The games are noted for their cartoony animation and extensive use of surrealism and slapstick humour. The game, whose concept was devised by Andy Davidson, was described by the Amiga gaming press as a cross between '' Cannon Fodder'' and '' Lemmings''. It is part of a wider genre of turn-based artillery games involving projectile weapons; similar games include ''Scorched Earth'' (1991), '' Gorillas'' (1991) and '' Artillery Duel'' (1983).

Players control tanks to do turn-based battle in two-dimensional terrain, adjusting the angle and power of each tank turret before each shot. Gameplay ''Scorched Earth'' is one of many games in the genre of "turn-based artillery games".

A Space Oddity

It was first released on 11 July 1969 by Philips Records as a Single (music), 7-inch single, then as the opening track of his second studio album ''David Bowie (1969 album), David Bowie''. After the commercial failure of his David Bowie (1967 album), self-titled debut album in 1967, Bowie's manager Kenneth Pitt commissioned ''Love You till Tuesday (film), Love You till Tuesday'', a promotional film intended to introduce Bowie to a larger audience. For the film, Bowie wrote "Space Oddity", a tale about a fictional astronaut named Major Tom; its title and subject matter were partly inspired by Stanley Kubrick's ''2001: A Space Odyssey (film), 2001: A Space Odyssey'' (1968) and Bowie's feelings of Social alienation, alienation at that point in his career. One of the most musically complex songs Bowie had written up to that point, it represented a change from the music hall-influenced sound of his debut to a sou ...
