Earthworm Jim is a run and gun platform video game starring an earthworm named Jim in a robotic suit who battles evil. Created by Doug TenNapel and designed by David Perry, the game was developed by Shiny Entertainment and Playmates Interactive Entertainment, released by Sega for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994, and subsequently ported to the SNES, Game Boy, Game Gear, Sega Master System, and years later, the Game Boy Advance. Upon its release it was praised for its detailed animation, polished gameplay and surreal humor; it became the first game ever to receive a 100% review in GamesMaster magazine. A special edition of the game was released for the Sega CD/Mega-CD which features a Red Book audio soundtrack, improved graphics and expanded levels,[5] and an even further enhanced version with redrawn, 256 color graphics and an Earthworm Jim desktop theme, as well as all the Sega CD improvements, was released for Microsoft Windows 95. An Atari Jaguar port was planned, but cancelled, due to the system’s low popularity. The original Mega Drive/Genesis version was released through Wii’s Virtual Console service in Europe on October 3, 2008,[4] and in North America on October 27, 2008.[3]Gameloft released a version for the iPhone and Symbian S60 devices and in July 28, 2010,[6] developed an HD version for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
