Name:	Earthworm Jim series (2 titles) Earthworm Jim Earthworm Jim 2
Author/Vendor:	Shiny/Playmates
Released:	various
Type:	Action
Language:	English and Japanese
Premise:	Meet our hero - a sweet and loveable fella who just happens to be a steroid enhanced earthworm. This is the wild and wacky platform shooter that everybody talks about, and was a big hit when it was first released.
Impressions:	Stellar gameplay and animation featuring a hilarious main character. Gameplay is only passable, but it's well worth the look. The first game has an extra level not found in the SNES version, though some of the SNES graphic effects are missed. The second has lots of subgames, including an isometric shooter. Groovy! (adapted from the original Rage Games reviews)
Variations:	Earthworm Jim (1994, Jimbo vs the scum of the universe in various zany platform levels) Earthworm Jim 2 (1995, our hero must rescue his new girlfriend from the evil dude that kidnapped her - more of the same madcap platform hilarity
Recommended Emu:	Genecyst X
