So, I recently won an ebay auction for the game gear earthworm jim. I finally got it for a much better amount than $12 shipped most people want. So, I'm excited to try this out. I also did some digging and found a fan site called rocketworm. Things I found interesting. - Employee working on game named Andy Astor (Andy Asteroids anyone?) - There is some concept art that was placed on the HD versions of EWJ. They are done in a comic panel. I thought it was just weird extras that had no real significance. But they predate the game. I don't know if the special edition of PC or SEGACD had this either? http://rocketworm.com/information/original-ewj-games.html |

*gives up* The PC port that GOG sells has HORRIBLE controls for some godforsaken reason. You know that bit in What The Heck where you have to run on top of some glowing green crystals to proceed? Well, Jim kept SLIPPING off the damn things. I spent ten minutes trying to get past the first one. And then I got to the second lawyer. I ragequit soon after. The game NEVER gave me this much trouble in consoles. |

I have the XBLA version, I slipped a lot, but it sounds like it controls better than the PC version. |

I had a few problems with slipping on the SNES version. Or running off it because the game didn't register that I was standing on the thing. |

You can see, at about 14:00, I had some issues with the green gems in my playthrough on the Genesis. Wonder if I'll have the same issue on the SNES? |
