About Earthworm Jim
Earthworm Jim is the 1994 platformer that proved a game starring an earthworm in a super suit could be hilarious and genuinely great. Jim is an ordinary worm who gets a cybernetic super-suit, and the game follows his absurd quest to rescue Princess What's-Her-Name from the evil Queen Slug-for-a-Butt. The gameplay is a wild mix of styles: run-and-gun platforming with Jim's whip-like body, sections where you swing him like a lasso across gaps, and bonus sequences like racing through space against Psy-Crow. The game's humor is its signature — it is packed with pop-culture gags, gross-out jokes, and surreal moments — and the hand-drawn art by Doug TenNapel is full of personality. It spawned a sequel, a cartoon series, and a devoted fan base. It remains one of the most memorable platformers of the 90s.
