Bookworm was the first game I worked on for the TAG Thunder platform. Much like Bejeweled 2, the game's graphics use no real-time blending or compositing, except for the fonts. The initial version didn't even use compositing for the fonts, because the platform didn't support it yet! It used fixed-width fonts with the background color stamped into the font glyph images. It was quite an experience to work with that platform; it really made you think in out-of-the-box ways.

I can't say that the game has aged particularly well, but it's still one of the top 4 games on TAG - so it must be doing something right!
