Earthworm Jim adapted as corridor platform with absurd humor and short stages. Decent 8-bit animations and cartoon-faithful atmosphere. Pleasant for nostalgic fans.

Collector interest

Earthworm Jim, the European version of the Game Boy port of the slapstick adventure of the vigilante worm by Playmates. Shrinking the original's graphic extravagance to portable monochrome was a challenge, giving this conversion a curiosity value. Its collecting interest lies in the licence's popularity and in the comparison, prized by fans, between this PAL cut and the American edition.
