About the game

Woodworm Whacker is a video game released in 1983 for VIC-20. VG90 lists it as a reference record so the title stays discoverable alongside the thousands of other releases that defined the early cartridge-and-arcade boom.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the early cartridge-and-arcade boom produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
