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 North American version of the Game Boy port of Playmates' irreverent adventure, distinct from the European pressing. Released on its home market, it draws fans of the wisecracking worm and collectors keen to gather the regional versions of a 1990s cult title. Its interest lies in the licence's fame and the sought difference between NTSC and PAL editions.
