3. visualize the origin history of Amiga Worms being released
4. briefly explain that there is also Worms 2, then Armageddon, and also World Party (but it's irrelevant)

Making a presentation about WA for its 20th anniversary for school

Okay now I'm interested, update me on how it goes when done, probably in like June 2019 or whatever
Awful Worms player by day, aspiring alcoholic by night. I am the TUS Comic Relief Character, and possibly making a comeback to WA... possibly.

I prefer websnoop to other snoopers, because nobody can see me and I can see everybody. :D

Also, no idea what else to write
leave me alone

I'll be presenting it on 31st May 2019, this date is also my school's 25th anniversary and I got permission from the headmasters, so... ye

EDIT1: But before that date, there will be rehearsals of course, so it'll be helpful that I'll get a draft of the scenario that I can show to the teachers that are organising the event

You should probably do few online games in front of the class..
Ideally, get in voice with taner and asbest..

Somewhere along the line, be sure to explain how the community has expanded Worms from its traditional gameplay to rope games and other neat gametypes, many of which use custom maps (show the best examples of those).

And for "8. Where to buy WA?", mention that it can be bought digitally both on Steam and GOG. That those versions are fully cross-compatible with the original CD-ROMs might also be worth mentioning (as may be the censored content).

Bringing up the game's glowing reviews both new and old might also be something to consider.

Oh, and including the series' humour (voicebanks, death animations, AI names, special weapons, and so on), possibly in the introduction, might be good for added detail.

I'd love to :D

I did some roping during 1st grade on e-sport classes, only the teacher was interested because he played WA as well

I hope that's a joke

Now THAT is the feedback I was looking for!
How the community was expanded, huh? Can you elaborate on that? Is showcasing TUS not enough?

Yup, already know this

Bringing up the game's glowing reviews both new and old might also be something to consider.

wdym reviews?

You mean default content, right?

f@#! no, I know you're taking this for granted but this is serious, I was thinking more... WA leitmotif remixes, like Komodo's Angry Scot Remix, FinTom's Metal Tribute to Worms, Drex Wiln's Cover, etc.

How about this one?
Seems... too calm and sad

Actually, better use one of the Komodo's.
finally, someone, that I can relate to

Not how the community was expanded (though that's important too - besides TUS, the clans might be worth a mention), how the players expanded the way WA was played, from standard deathmatch with generated maps to all the crazy custom schemes and maps we have now.

wdym reviews?

Just reviews, whether they be professional or from consumers. Here's some good sources:
