Earthworm Jim Genesis Rom: How to Install and Run the Game on Your PC



Earthworm Jim is a series of platform games[1] featuring an earthworm named Jim who wears a robotic suit and battles the forces of evil. The series is noted for its platforming and shooting gameplay, surreal humor, and edgy art style.[2] Four games were released in the series: Earthworm Jim, Earthworm Jim 2, Earthworm Jim 3D, and Earthworm Jim: Menace 2 the Galaxy, with the first game released in 1994. The series had lain dormant for almost a decade before Gameloft remade the original game in HD for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in 2010. Interplay announced Earthworm Jim 4 in 2008; little to no information had been surfaced until May 2019 and August 2020.[3][4][5]


Playmates Toys, finding success with the license for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, wanted to start their own franchise.[6] Inspired by the success of the Sonic the Hedgehog series with Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, they decided that they wanted to start the franchise as a video game, a rare approach at the time.[6] From there, the game's design actually started with creator Doug TenNapel's simple sketch of an earthworm that he presented to Shiny Entertainment.[7] Impressed, David Perry and the rest of Shiny bought the rights to Earthworm Jim from TenNapel, and started developing the game.[7] From there, TenNapel would work on doing the game design, creating level ideas, and voicing Jim's character, while Perry and the other programmers created other characters and game mechanics.[7]

Shiny has also made references to Earthworm Jim in its later titles; their game Sacrifice features an earthwormlike god of earth called James, and there were additional references in the game MDK. Earthworm Jim also appears as a secret character in the first Battle Arena Toshinden game for PC.


The story begins with Jim, a common garden earthworm, primitively evading a hungry crow on Earth. Meanwhile, up in space, Psy-Crow pursues a renegade ship that has stolen an ultra high tech super suit and, under orders from Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed, Slug-for-a-Butt, blasts the renegade ship to smithereens. Following the explosion, the suit plummets down to Earth, and lands right on top of Jim as he was checking his surroundings. Through sheer luck, he was enveloped in the neck ring of the suit.


Should the player survive all of this, they'll start to pass under a large segmented ceiling, which when they reach the end of it is revealed to be the game's final boss, Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-filled, Malformed, Slug-for-a-Butt. To fight her, Jim has to stand on the floating Snott platforms that circle her and shoot her at the 3, 6, 9 and 12'o'clock positions, or whip her once, finally defeating the evil queen and meeting her sister, Princess Whats-Her-Name (who clearly got the more attractive end of the gene pool, as Jim discovers). However, the rather bitter-sweet ending has one final surprise in store for the gallant earthworm...


In the United States, television advertisements featuring an old lady eating (plastic) earthworms garnered some controversy, with complaints forcing the advert to be pulled from television network in Portland (Oregon), Spokane (Washington) and Sacramento (California)[20]. 2ff7e9595c
