and its exclusive to some weird Atari console lmao

Anyways Earthworm Jim was my fucking jam when I was little. Never owned the games, but I rented them all the time from Blockbuster and loved the cartoon. I just replayed them last year, still loads of fun.

Anyways I think Doug TeNapel left the franchise didnt he? They made a shitty N64 game and a shitty GBC game and that was it.

Relevant part:

Over the course of episodes 54, 55, and 56 of the podcast Audio Mullet, Doug TenNapel engaged in multiple discussions of Black Lives Matter and recent protests by the movement that included a number of racist comments toward and suggestions about the group [CW: Racism].

These included likening Black Lives Matter and its protestors to Hitler, which he did briefly in episode #56 at 5:53 and previously in #55 at 11:05, where at the suggestion of his co-host that there were some well-meaning individuals involved in the Black Lives Matter protests, TenNapel replied, "Hitler was well-meaning, so I don't want to hear about your intentions. He was just 'exterminating rats.'"

To this, his co-host responded that he was referring to "liberal Christians" who were "just trying to make everyone feel better."

"Yeah that liberal Christian guy was putting Jews on trains in France," TenNapel replied. "That's what I'm saying. He was doing it with the best of intentions."

In episode #54 at 6:05, TenNapel said, "The Black culture and Black communities are not doing well. They, too, are still the fallout victim of their own ignorance -- and maybe their own willful ignorance, or fatherlessness, or whatever -- so it's not all whitey's problem."

And in episode #55, beginning around 68:55, TenNapel said this of those affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement and the recent protests over the killing of George Floyd:

"All these people rioting and the people against it and the people pro-Black Lives Matter and the people voting for Trump -- no one changed their values in the last year. They've been set. So why are we rioting now? They were given cultural cover to unleash their revenge fantasy. The riots were in their hearts already, and they were given the cultural excuse. They were practically praying that a Black man would have a cop kneel on him so he'd die. Antifa did, Antifa loves exploiting. They were thrilled that happened. 'Thank goodness, now I can take my hammer and bash out car windows along this block.'"

Additionally in episode #55, in response to a reader letter criticizing TenNapel's previous use on the podcast of a homophobic slur (#55, 29:50), TenNapel defended his use of both the mentioned slur as well as an additional racist slur and a derogatory word for women, attesting that their use was no different than using the words "god damn" or thinking insulting thoughts about other people.

TenNapel also called COVID-19 "fake" and "a fraud" on multiple episodes (#55, 3:00 and #56,16:00).

---

Its been pretty common knowledge that tennapel is a shithead for awhile now. Hes a huge fundie Christian and really homophobic on top of the race stuff

---

I'm not giving a cent toward that homophobic bitch

---

shit series

Also the voice of Jim is also the voice actor of Homer Simpson.

Loved the two games on Genesis, but I never played any of the others.

Im still buttmad that only the first game made it onto the Sega mini. Theres room for plenty more games! If they werent going to make expansions for it or anything, why not just load that up with as many games as possible?
