Collector interest

European edition of Earthworm Jim 2, a PS1 port of Shiny's 16-bit classic with its zany cartoon humour. The PAL version is harder to find complete than on its original 16-bit hosts, putting loose copies already near forty-five euros and sealed far higher. Demand is steady among fans nostalgic for the golden age of eccentric platformers and series collectors, without speculative spikes.

Is Earthworm Jim 2 still worth playing in 2026?

A sequel to Shiny's wild platformer, Earthworm Jim 2 pushes the absurd humour and the variety of situations even further, from rocket launcher shooting to puppy rescue and utterly madcap gameplay segments. The superb cartoon animation, the inventive soundtrack and the unbridled creativity are the whole point of the adventure. The uneven difficulty and a few frustrating levels temper the enthusiasm. A cult platformer for fans of video game humour and bold 90s design.
