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.

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.

You can see how it plays in the following video.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. Get it now, and you won't be disappointed if the price changes. It's also worth noting that Super Mega Worm is currently priced at 99c, €0.79 or 59p compared to the original $2.99, €2.39 or £1.79.

Still, I hoping the new update will fix some of the things I didn't like. I enjoyed playing old skool destructoid game Super Mega Worm but in its original state didn't quite think it deserved a Pocket Gamer award.
