In Angry Video Game Nerd episode 208, The Nerd opens up a can of worms and takes a gross out look back at the Earthworm Jim series! Often hailed as classics, The Nerd looks to find out if the original Sega Genesis games (or the 3D one for N64) still hold up, or, if they were simply a flash in the pan of the 90s.
Written and Directed by James Rolfe

Edited by Sean O'Rourke

/ orourkejsean
Gameplay by James and Sean
Note: The music in Earthworm Jim level 2 is actually Night on Bald Mountain, not Ride of the Valkyries.

    Music/sfx, design, and even difficult gameplay (if you enjoy a challenge) are all beyond stellar, which is the only flaw people seem to give this (and a hilariously disappointing ending.) The game is progressively hard because it chooses to be, not because of bad controls from the beginning like Top Gun. It's like people complaining about Resident Evil tank controls. Believe it or not, it just takes practice, but everything is consistent and clear so you can improve, which is why people still do speedruns and aren't complaining about broken controls, but with Earthworm Jim everyone knows how to platform so there's even less of a learning curve but more of a difficulty curve, which more games should have.

    I've been waiting over a decade to hear what avgn had to say on earthworm Jim 3d. it was the most anger I had ever felt towards a video game when I was a kid back when you would rent video games on the weekends. That psychrow boss fight was easily the most frustrating experience I've ever had in a video game.

They're as bizzare as Earthworm Jim and very very creative, holds up very well due to the clay animation.
