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

Earthworm Jim is totally iconic in the 90s Nowadays, he is completely forgotten and on ice with no new games yet EWJ 1 has a silly story and nothing impressive in the sense that it is OK! The gameplay is good, since you can shoot enemies and use Jim himself to whip enemies (which is funny and even reminds us of Indiana Jones in this aspect) The difficulty... Man, some platform games in the 90s are hard on you, Earthworm Jim is no different here... You will have to eat a lot of rice and beans to have absurd patience and get 100% Remember that there is no automatic save, games from that time like this one... There are passwords to take you to a certain level So ALWAYS write it down! It is worth giving it a chance!
Unplayable. I only paid a couple of dollars for this in the most recent Autumn 2020 sale, and want my money back. An extremely bad port of a game/world I adored on the SNES when I was 10 (maybe the aesthetic was funnier then, but it isn't very entertaining now that I'm 35). Don't waste your money on this. If you want to play this game, buy an SNES and a original cartridge instead. - Resolution is locked to 640x480 and does not scale. On a 32" 1440p display, the game window was around 4 inches (10.1cm) tall by 4 inches (10.1cm) wide. I may be missing something simple, but I couldn't stand the idea of wasting any more time trying to change it. - Xbox One controller support is minimal and extremely bad. For me, the game only registered inputs from the left thumbstick and the 4 ABXY buttons, but nothing else. No Dpad, bumpers, or triggers at all. It did not register consistent diagonal directional inputs from the left thumbstick, which made movement nearly impossible to manage. - Keyboard play isn't worth the time it would take to make the controls even remotely comfortable. Leave your memories of this one in the past. Save your money, or spend it on a much more recent and far superior pixelly platformer instead. There are plenty of them out there.

Tags: Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Somewhat broken DOSBOX port. No fullscreen. Controls VERY wonky. A true sin against nostalgia and an icon of 90's gaming. I give up on them ever fixing this or replacing it with one of the better ports for current purchasers. This was obviously a broken port cashgrab and if they ever release a remaster they would probably charge for it separate. I also heard dubious things about the dev, while I do not terribly care it does erode my faith that anything positive will happen with a revival of this I.P.
Doesn't have Big Bruty
Love earthworm Jim but it has a huge bug and crash problems makes it hard to play
A classic, but for whatever reason there's music but no sound.
Terrible port. Poor performance, audio bugs, unresponsive controls, it's just no good. It's sad that Earthworm Jim, one of Ravendove's (the father) favorite and most memorable games from his childhood ended up being the very first negative review we've ever left on Steam.
dont do it. its a bad bad port. ALSO EXCELLENT GAME!
I love the Earthworm Jim series, I really do. Now Im gonna say a few good things and a few bad things. Good: So far for me everything works just fine. I havent had any music or screen tearing. Controls are fine too (if you play DOS pure) if not Ctrl-F1 for keymapper. So technically yes you CAN USE A GAMEPAD!!! Just link the controls for the game to your gamepad....or joystick if that old. Bad: 640x480 256 Colors...I get it its an old version for DOS but cut me a break. I'm sure you can tweak the DOSbox options (notepad options) for a larger res, but really? WHY THE HELL NOT?!: As my memory serves there was a Special CD Edition that added a new level or two, added better Gravis Gamepad support and had CD quality music...Maybe there was an issue with porting the CD version over? Whatever your take on the game based on software, just know for me it will always be a classic. (Why didnt they port the CD Version of Pitfall the Mayan Adventure ether??)
Finally EarthWorm Jim on pc!!!.....wait a minute.... A beloved classic game that was simply imported to PC with the lowest of efforts using DosBox. If you are unfamiliar with this program then you will quickly find out that... No controller Support. Low Res (you can alt+return for full screen though) Non-configurable keyboard layout. This game is great and the only way to truely experience this game is with a controller so you will need to have a 3rd party program to allow controller input -> Keyboard output. Great Game but bad port. Stay Away.
