A crow is chasing a worm named Jim while in outer space Psy-Crow is chasing a renegade ship. The ship's captain has stolen an ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit and Queen Slug-for-a-Butt has ordered Psy-Crow to get it, since it can make her more beautiful than Princess-What's-Her-Name. Psy-Crow blasts the captain and the suit falls to Planet Earth.
Back on earth Jim wonders if he is finally safe when an ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit lands on him. Luckily Jim rests in the neck ring of the suit. Then the space particles begin interacting with Jim, causing a light-speed evolution. Jim soon realizes he is in control of the suit.
Jim overhears the Queen's plans for the suit and decides to meet this Princess...

What the? Oo
There are already comments for Boogerman and Clayfighter, but not for this gem?
It was way too hard for me back in the days (especially the water level), but I still had a blast playing this, mostly for the graphics, the sounds and just the great humour. Maybe by now I could get further into the game. ^^

When I was younger I had no idea the cartoon was based on the video game, I thought it was the other way around! Its probably one of the reasons Earthworm Jim being in Clayfighter 63 1/3 surprised me more than it should have.

I haven't played this one as much as I did the sequel, but I'm kind of dissapointed that they aren't releasing the special edition on the Sega CD! I haven't played it, but its supposed to have better music (duh), but more importantly a new level! Man...
(Oh and the cartoon was awesome...why can't I find a DVD release?)

Seriously, stop giving half the game away in the clips. Just the first level would have sufficed. Ye ruined alot of the jokes here for people who havnt played this before.

How does the Megadrive version compare to the SNES version?

LOL...Earthworm Jim. This was one of my favorite games when I was a kid. Dosen't the Genesis version have an extra level and the SNES version dosen't?

I hope we won't end up waiting about half a year, I used to love this!
Can't wait to play it again.
@Cally: I haven't actually played the SNES one but that version was missing the level "Intestinal Distress" so I'm glad it's the MD version we're getting.

I played this ages ago... & I also got the GBA port! It's not as good in sound quality as the original but I still play the port just for laughs! At least the port was decent & playable, unlike how Sonic Genesis turned out....shame. EWJ2 port's on GBA too - SWEET!

This game was truly amazing.
I remember picking it up as a kid when I had went to a Toy Shop in a Mall back at New York. A classic gem. It was also the MD version of the game. Good times.
