I remember and like armageddon - and remember world party being good too. I've wanted to try getting into a modern-er worms again, but for several years now, there have been so many different versions being sold simultaneously with so many different names, it's impossible to tell which is the "latest" or even most advanced (several being cut down for consoles and subsequently ported).

See e.g. the post world-party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worms_(series) with often several new, similarly named titles per year. It's impossible to know what to get, and the fact that several are usually being sold/on sale simultaneously just leads to confusion.

The latest worms game worth playing is probably Reloaded on PC. It's a little stripped down compared to Armageddon/World Party but it's the last worms game where the physics are spot on. After Revolution came out they've all been floaty and janky, grenades that would rather roll than bounce, ninja ropes that actually act like rope (and are therefore completely useless) and just general visual 'bleh' from the 2.5d.
