Ashley first played Worms on a friend’s Amiga 500 in 1995. Thirty years later, he is lucky enough to be working on the series today!

In this talk, Ashley will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Worms. Find out how Worms was created by a schoolboy on his Amiga. Hear how Team17 repeatedly defied convention by doing what the industry told them was “impossible”. Discover the surprising ways in which this small company from Wakefield helped some of the biggest players in gaming get their start.

Team17 is also celebrating its 35th anniversary. Listen to Ashley delving into the company’s storied history. Find out about the people that made it all possible. Discover Team17's ties to the local area.

The talk will take place in the Pontefract Suite, which is on the lower ground floor of the Wakefield One building and next to Wakefield Museum. You can ask our friendly staff inside the Museum if you need help finding it.
