Since the game is presented in 3D, one would expect the developers VIS Interactive PLC to demonstrate some mastery over the main draw to the game, the graphics. You'll see a couple of new monsters, including the Disco Zombies. The adversaries are also familiar for the most part, featuring evil chickens and arch-rival Psycrow. Some new items and weapon power-ups can be found periodically, too. His weapon selection hasn't changed much either, as you'll still mainly use his blaster. The moves at his disposal are very similar to those in previous releases and you'll see his famous "head-whip," arm rolls, jumps, and other familiar silly animations. Jim returns in this adventure with many of the things that made him popular in the earlier games. To do this, you have to collect his marbles - since he's lost them all! You must also collect "Golden Udders," usually found after completing mini-quests, that further your adventure. Some mini-quests require surfing on pigs while others put you on the trail of missing underwear! Of course, the main goal of the quest is to bring our hero Earthworm Jim back to life.
You must explore four main areas inside the brain of our deranged hero: Happiness, Fear, Fantasy and Memory.Įach area has a distinct look based on the state of mind it represents, as well as unique mini-quests and inhabitants. He must now fight through his own thoughts and emotions to wake from his coma. As luck would have it, Jim is struck by an incoming cow and rendered unconscious by the blow. The plot for this version's adventure pays respect homage to the goofiness that made the first games so successful. But even though the game followed the lead of its contemporaries and made the jump to 3D, this doesn't mean that everything is wine and roses. Characters, backgrounds, objects, and just about everything else has a true three-dimensional look and feel (as long as you have a suitable 3D-accelerator card). In this more contemporary installment of the game, Jim is rendered in full 3D. Armed with his blaster, outrageous moves, and a plethora of power-ups, he's sprung into action time and again. Jim has traversed wacky planets throughout the galaxies to rid the universe of evil monsters and creatures that were causing havoc. The title has appeared on the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Game Boy and PC, following the continuing adventures of the magic spacesuit-wearing worm.
We've seen many versions and variations of Earthworm Jim throughout the early 1990s.
