Earthworm Jim for the Sega Genesis is a run and gun platform game developed by Shiny Entertainment and published by Interplay. The game was released in 1994 and features an earthworm named Jim who wears a robotic suit to battle the forces of evil. The protagonist’s mission is to rescue Princess What’s-Her-Face from the villain Psy-Crow, who has stolen Jim’s robotic suit and is using it to conquer the world.

The gameplay of Earthworm Jim is a blend of platforming and shooting elements. Players control Jim as he navigates through various levels, avoiding obstacles and enemies while collecting power-ups and weapons. The game includes a variety of power-ups, such as blue atoms that increase Jim’s health and red atoms that restore it fully. Additionally, players can collect Earthworm Jim icons to earn extra lives. The game’s weapon system allows players to collect and use different types of guns, and ammo can be replenished by collecting additional guns.

Earthworm Jim for the Sega Genesis received positive reviews from critics. It was praised for its smooth gameplay, great graphics, and awesome soundtrack. The game’s surreal humor and edgy art style also contributed to its appeal. While the game may not have been revolutionary, it was considered a lot of fun and a standout title in the platform genre of the time

The game was promoted with a television commercial featuring an elderly woman telling a bedtime story about Earthworm Jim while eating live earthworms (which were actually plastic props). Earthworm Jim was a financial and critical success for Interplay and Shiny Entertainment, establishing itself as a stylish and humorous platformer that appealed to multiple demographics. The original game’s success led to a sequel, Earthworm Jim 2, which was released in 1995.
