Holy shit. I would absolutely buy it if I didn't already own it on the megadrive. (the first one, that is)

$20 is a little steep for a bunch of games which came out more than 10 years ago. 

Wait, I didn't even know Earthworm Jim 3 existed! 
 
Thats cool, though there are certainly, shall we say.... cheaper ways of getting those games.

I already own 1 and 2 on the SNES so I'll pass, but this is cool.

A polished remake is on the way in the next few months - news story in the franchise forum.

£15.99 seems a bit steep. I think I'll be giving this a miss.

I bought the first EWJ on Good Old Games a few months back. Either my memories of that game were far better than the game itself or it controls like ass on the PC. Perhaps both.
