Jumping from platform to platform is also great. I am not saying they are awful Jim moves around very easily and using the head whip is simple. To get the only downside to the game out of the way, I am going to discuss the controls. Whatever, I had a lot of time to read the manual cover to cover… Twenty-five times. It took me forever but finally I had the money together for the game I saved pennies off the ground, quarters from in the couch, I even took the money out of the change cup they have next to the cash register at the convenience store. I had to have a copy of my own and started saving. ![]() For me it all began when I played the Genesis version at my friend’s house and fell in love.

Article taken from : Platformer Developer: Shiny Publisher: Interplay Players: 1 Released: 1995 I still love the fact that GOG keep classic games alive like this, it's vitally important we don't lose access to some true classics. They worked perfectly, super smooth as expected from a classic title. This sure brought back some memories! For those that never played it, it's a run and gun action platformer that was originally released in 1994, with the sequel releasing in 1995.Īfter testing both, I couldn't find any issues. I actually played the original on the Sega Megadrive at a friends house when I was younger, I remember being mesmerised by it at the time. Naturally, they come with DOSBox pre-configured so playing these classics is easy on Linux. They come as seperate downloads, but each has the GOG installer powered by MojoSetup. They come as part of a bundle " Earthworm Jim 1+2: The Whole Can 'O Worms".Īs usual, our friendly GOG contacts sent over a copy for me to test out. Thanks to the magic of DOSBox, Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 are now available for Linux direct from game store GOG. ![]()
