![]() The original resolution of the game is 320×224. All in all, there is quite an amount of extra content in the Windows-based Special Edition. They are not common, and appear mostly in specific levels – for example, What The Heck and Big Bruty. Zapping those annoying devils and wasps is easy and super-fun with these. The Special Edition also includes a unique weapon – homing rockets (similar to those seen in Earthworm Jim 2). Intestinal Distress – Not in SNES/DOS Versions These are further elaborated on the tips page. Some have potentially significant impact, such as in the Pod Race level, where the secrets are completely different, or the final boss fight in Buttville which is much easier in the DOS version. There are many differences in other levels. The second part of the Mecha-Chicken battle (“Chicken Plummet”) at the end of Level 5 was removed from the DOS version, even though it was not a “Special Edition” exclusive and was present in both SNES and Genesis versions.The mid-level boss fight with Snowman in What The Heck has been extended to include an actual sub-level, and not just the arena.There are also new secrets and bonuses throughout the level. New Junk City has a whole new section featuring Jim as a naked worm (like in Level 5), and the boss battle (with Chuck) takes place at the end of this second section.The Special Edition content also includes a few extra sections in existing levels: The Windows version contains two levels omitted entirely from the DOS release – the Sega-exclusive Intestinal Distress and the Special Edition-exclusive Big Bruty. For a more detailed comparison of all other releases (including the sequels and the 2009 Earthworm Jim HD remake, I recommend this excellent Hardcore Gaming 101 article and this video showing the game played, in parallel, on various consoles and the PC. I’ve played the DOS version many years ago, and having heard much about how the Windows port is superior, recently decided to give it a try, and do a head-to-head of the two. It was actually released after the Windows version, but was based on the earlier console versions, and does not include any of the Special Edition stuff. ![]() ![]() The DOS version, as far as I know, was never released separately, but only in a bundle with Earthworm Jim 2, sometimes known as The Whole Can O’ Worms. The Windows version was ported from the Sega CD “Special Edition”, and includes all of its extras. Both DOS and Windows versions were released, which in itself was common for the time, but as they were ported from different console versions (rather than from each other), interesting differences exist. I guess it kind of is how a lot of journalism works though, lets be honest.Originally released for the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo (SNES), Earthworm Jim has been ported to other systems, such as the Sega CD ( Earthworm Jim: Special Edition) and PC. Earlier this year they decided to make up fake news about Earthworm Jim 4 from practically nothing.Īnyone who creeps around screen-shooting random conversations and taking them out of context to make completely fake articles is usually up to no good, just a word of advice. These people only deal in fake news and spite. If you see people saying horrible stuff about Tommy, they are lying. I’ve never met him in person, but I loved his enthusiasm and energy. I still like to listen to the tracks sometimes, when I’m drawing, because it brings back those good memories. The Music that Tommy Tallarico created for Earthworm Jim has a quality to it. I remember playing Earthworm Jim back in 1996 for the first time, and when that beat in New Junk City first dropped, I was hooked by the game. The show is heralded and enjoyed by the entire family.įor tour venues and dates, visit the official Video Games Live Tour dates Page. Video Games Live bridges a gap for entertainment by exposing new generations of music lovers and fans to the symphonic orchestral experience while also providing a completely new and unique experience for families and/or non-gamers. This is a concert event put on by the video game industry to help encourage and support the culture and art that video games have become. Music is something I think is essential in this world – it brings people together, inspires and helps bring back fond memories and experiences for many people. I would have loved to go see one, they always look fantastic. Video Games Live has been touring again! I’ve always loved the concept of this show, and supported it in my own way here on Rocket Worm! over the years.
