    Earthworm Jim

    Game » consists of 25 releases. Released Oct 02, 1994

    Created by the twisted minds at Shiny Entertainment (led by Dave Perry and Doug TenNapel), Earthworm Jim is a nonsensical side-scrolling platform game that allows the player to venture through the galaxy as an earthworm trapped in a futuristic space-suit to rescue Princess What's-Her-Name.

    I dont care what anyone says, Im glad Jim is back....

    .....and honestly I think it looks great!! Crisp, Smooth, and Vibrant, sure the controls are still a litte clunky, but thats part of the nostalgia, im remembering why I love this game! I just picked it up and played for about hour, but cant wait to get into the bonus lvls and the co-op! Woohoo!! But the best part is, sitting my 6 year old down with ut and watching him enjoy it as much as i did when i was a kid......priceless.....

    I agree, Earthworm Jim HD is a great example of how you do a classic 2D platformer remake. I am absolutly loving this game. I even played through the original last week just to get back into it. Here`s hoping it sell well enough to warrant Earthworm Jim 2 HD. There are about 16k people on the leader boards as of this afternoon, I think it is doing ok.

    Have no nostalgia for EWJ so that's probably the problem. But I can relate since I've got nostalgia for other games that haven't held up well either, like Oscar and arguably Zelda 2, love that game.

    Im loving it, and really I dont get the hate for the HD version.  Im actually playing them side by side, and as much as Im not really a fan of Gameloft, they did a damn fine job.
