Earthworm Jim... he's such a groovy guy. Is there really anything that is more 90's than Earthworm Jim? Irreverent and filled with crazy shit going on, the game was created in large part due to the fact that the devs had been constrained to licensed titles before, not really allowed to flex their creative sides. What came of it was one of the most unique games on the Genesis/SNES. Fun fact, the Genesis has one extra level because SEGA offered to lower the price they had to pay for cartridges if they had a unique level (Intestinal Distress). It was conceived and coded in like, 36 hours. XD

According to Price Charting, the cart goes for around 20 bucks while a complete copy is around 60, but the SNES version is like, double that for the complete game. Alternatively, you can grab it on STEAM but don't, because it is the DOS port from like 1995 and sounds like it is NOT a good port. =/

Yep.

Great games, great cartoon, and the promise of a new entry was literally the only thing that made the Amico sound interesting.

The Sega CD version had an exclusive cheat that replaced Jims head with Donkey Kongs face... with an arrow in his head.

Down the Tubes? The second timed submarine section was a brick wall to me as a kid.

I remember that the submarine part had a secret refiller that you had to use use.

So much this. The first part (Down The Tubes) is doable but the second part (Pod Race) is annoyingly hard. You basically have to quickly but carefully race through it and just hope you make all the right turns.

Awesome music though:

One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls.

Thats the start of it lol. Fuck that submarine section. And some of the levels after it are a pain too. Especially the last one that starts off with you going down in propeller head mode.

Did I ever! I definitely have some clear memories of this game! I was dead certain that Heck roadblocked me as a kid, there was always just one part that I could never figure out where to go from there. But when I watched a playthrough of it on Youtube recently, I definitely recognized the levels after it, so I have no idea what's going on anymore.

One other thing I was dead certain of as a kid was that it was pronounced "pissy crow", which is still pretty apt~

I played it but wasn't a huge fan. It was too hard for kid me. I did like all of the weird humor in it though.

I've only played the SNES version.

I was surprised to find out the Genesis version had an entire level that was missing from the SNES port.

Great game. I did play it when I was little and sometimes I would play at night and get scared of this level.
