Games to Try Before You Die: Earthworm Jim (Genesis/SNES)

Cartoons back in the 90's were just awesome...I try watching them today and think to myself, "How the hell did I watch this?!" But when your a kid, you really don't give a crap man. A cartoon character could be made from pretty much anything! Turtles, monsters, babies, Inspectors, so why not toss an Earthworm in the mix

What: Earthworm Jim is a typical game where you try to save "Princess Whats-Her-Name." (Yes, that was her actual name) Your basically a Space Suit that fell from space, landed on a worm, and now your Earthworm Jim! Blasting away crows, launching cows, shooting rabid dogs, and whipping your worm like a whip! Who comes up with this stuff? GENIUSES! That's who...

Why: It's just a fun platforming game. All the stellar gameplay aside though, it's just a crazy game. I can kinda figure either the guy who created this game is really creative, or was really doped up and told his friends, "Dude, I have this idea..." Sometimes, the best ideas come from that scenario alone! This game is pure 90's at its finest...you just don't find games like this today. Realism sucks...
