Moonlight Sonata, equally creepy in both Earthworm Jim and Resident Evil
August 2nd marked the 20th anniversary of theEarthworm Jimfranchise. I remember just yesterday being a small child and having terrible nightmares from the hellish surreal scenes that make up the levels of the variousEarthworm Jimgames. And then I grew up and reveled in them. I love surrealism.
What better way to relive some of the weirdest moments in gaming than with a viewing of the SGDQ 2014speedrun of the originalEarthworm Jim, or you could view the intro to the 1995 cartoon series. If text is more your thing,Hardcore Gaming 101has a delightful in-depth look at the series.
Although my memories are still haunted by the nonsensical level design and utter feeling of loneliness that permeates every fiber of my being when I play the games, you can bet I will be picking upEarthworm Jim,Earthworm Jim 2, andEarthworm Jim 3D,which are available now onSteamandGOG.com.
This year marks the Earthworm Jim series’ 20th Guh-roovy Anniversary[NeoGAF]
