Jim wasn't always a studly super-worm. He was once just a spineless, dirt-eater with no real mission in his life...

Don't get me wrong, Earthworm Jim is a great game, and it pains me to put the big thumbs down, but I could not get this to work properly. Fish out your old copy for the Genesis if you want to play.
The second game is strictly better, which is why I’m the first to review this game. I don’t have much to say that hasn’t been said by the EJ2 reviews. I have never played EJ on the Genesis. My only knowledge of EJ before I played was that it looked like a Saturday morning cartoon. Oh, and those unfunnily crass 2011 Sonic for Hire shorts. Damn do I miss 2006-2012 internet culture. The game is just a DOSBox port. On sale it’s fine if you haven’t had any prior exposure. Just don’t download that godawful 3D installment. I wrote this review because I know no one else will review it for a long time and I’d like the tiniest bit of posterity in the history books. If you’re some YouTuber doing a wacky review of the game and you come across the review you damn well quote me. It’s 3:19AM and I’m reviewing a game from 1995. I have a backlog of work to do that I was meant to do across three weeks. God help me.

I loved this game growing up, and was ecstatic to see it available on steam. However, the steam version is a dos-based emulation, rather than the old Win95 port. A travesty. Poor controller support, must run in 16-bit powershell window or else face severe stuttering. An incredible game, which I fear is lost to future generations.
Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 do not work with a joypad. Not great and wouldn't recommend spending £14.99 on the bundle as EJ 3D isn't that great, and this is the only game the joypad works with.
in my opinion, THE best game EVER released on the Nintendo system. Unfortunately, they broke it when they "ported" it to Windows.
genesis version all the way but this is ok i guess ive never played the special edition dont hurt me
The game that started the series, great classic.
Other than the port sucking complete ass, this bad boy is a classic.
Have you ever been so upset you wanted to whip someone with your whole body? Well you could 21 years ago. Jim has brought me much nostalgia... and frustration. This game is certainly a challenge. 10/10 would recommend for 10$.
