Earthworm Jim is an action game that was also released in 8-bit form on the Sega Master System in 1997.
+ Includes several stages and bosses that were omitted from the SMS port, each being fundamental to the experience.
+ Although the frame-rate is variable, it's still miles ahead of its 8-bit big brother and features smoother gameplay.
- Even though your shots will land, enemies can walk straight through them to attack you, resulting in many cheap hits.
- Simple tasks like grabbing a ledge, or whipping a hook can often be infuriatingly tough due to the sloppy collision detection.
- The three Snots a Problem levels are butchered due to your opponent being able to take a ridiculous amount of hits.
- The drastically cut-down animation and lack of voice clips mean that a lot of Jim's charm and personality is lost.
