  An amazing game slaughtered on the PC. It's basicaly a direct port of Earthworm jim on the PC and DOS. From that you can expect all the problems that come with a port like this. No controller support, complicated keyboard settings, audio issues, slow down and many other things. Personally, you are MUCH..MUCH better off playing the Super Nintendo and Genesis originals, or the Wii virtual console version. If you can't get those then I would suggest Earthworm jim HD for the Xbox live arcade and Playstation network. Even if you're a hardcore PC gamer, you deserve alot better ports for a game like Earthworm jim. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

  An awfull port of an awesome game. Waste of money, this version is barely playable. Avoid at all costs. Would still recommend to check out the original game though, if you havent already done so.

  The game is great however this steam port really is just embarrassing. The only reason I’m recommending this is because of a patch that allows it to run at a smooth 60fps and a with no black bars on the top and bottom of the screen, you’ll still have to put up with black bars on the sides but at least it’s better than what it was.

  Earthworm Jim is a great series. EWJ is a great game. However, as to why this is the version on Steam, and not the better EWJ port done a few years later for 95, I haven't got a clue. I do not recommend the DOS version, sorry.

  Earthworm Jim but anytime you release the jump button he drops faster than Gordon Freeman at sv_gravity 1000.

  Cmon, everyone fooled around with sv_gravity command in Half-Life 2, I can't be the only one, can I? Obviously it's a hyperbole but boy, it's like they lost the code for original game controls and had to recreate a much worse version of it. You will be suffering in daily activities such as failing to whip fast enough after a small jump or just getting annoyed at your Jim's unwormly stiffness. I actually wanted to put some time into this Jim and analyse it for myself, wanting to see if Jim has aged well as a game. I mean, I doubt, maybe it wasn't much a good game to begin with in our post-scarity world. But as soon as I came across the situation where I was not able to grab on the ledge in order to grab 1 Life-Up in underground section in the middle of the first level, it became clear as a day to me: This version is illegal. It doesn't count. But if you still want some details outside of playability like some kind of earthworms nerd, have at you! This is a DOS version of a game. You can install the fan patch which fixes up sounds. It's missing some sounds, like Plasma gun shot. Compared to SNES and Genesis it looks the best, making usage of richer color palette and having few small details, albeit missing the SNES special effects like lens flare. Well, backgrounds are based on Genesis version. It has same levels amount as SNES, so it doesn't have that boring looking level from Genesis. Well, actually, the second mecha chicken boss fight is missing as well. Sega CD (or maybe Win95) are still definite versions. Never tried HD version, so maybe it's the best one. DOS uses passwords to track your progress. Music is CD quality. This game is actually legal. But not in my book. PS: Actually went and beat the game. Mmmmm, yea. Turns out that you have easier time grabbing some ledges in this version when Jim is doing the standing jump animation instead of a running jump. I don't really like the game itself. Half of it is based on toughnut gimmicks. Like, Jim, get some normal action platforming, stop making me rage in underwater moondlanding section. And most of the game challenge depends on memorization, because camera sure often isn't there to show what is coming. Jim still controls too sluggish here as well so that ruins the mood. Otherwise eh, actually playable but get better versions.

  I bought this Collection a long time ago before the though of refunds even be a thing,this trilogy is a compilation from the worst EWJ ports for PC. The first 2 games are butchered and lack the most basic levels that appear on every single version on the consols (including some of them that are on the pics show case leading to false advertisement) and uses an "outdated" DOSBOX emulation to play . And the third game is just the cherry on the bitter cake since it universally sucked on both platforms that released. If you want a modern port to EWJ look for EWJ HD on 360 or PS3 or just look for that Special Edition released on Windows 95/Sega CD that is better than this "thing",

  Earthworm Jim is the amazing game (and series), no doubts, but there is one very important thing you need to know: DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ON STEAM It is a horrible port, seriously, its bad on so many levels -Horribly emulated and you will have problems with controls -Horribly cut comparing to the SEGA and NES versions - music and levels are missing, and there is NO info about that on the steam page. -20$ for 3 bad ports is a rip-off If you want to play this game, simply get SEGA or NES emulator and ROMs, so you could actually enjoy the game. I wish I could refund this game, but I bought the pack years ago before that new refund system and support refused to return my money when I bought it. I wrote a money back ticket half an hour after I bought the game, and they closed the ticket like a month later with something like *bad port is not our problem - no refund* Join my curator group http://steamcommunity.com/groups/garbage_games_challenge#curation

  I can't recommend this version of the game. This is the DOS port which is basicly a weird combantion of the SNES and Genesis versions Being that it is a child of the SNES and Genesis versions, it sadly takes after the SNES. Which is missing a level from the Genesis version. This version also does not have any of the levels from the special edition. If you are going to buy this game I recommend the special edition on Sega CD or the PC port (Which doesn't work on modern systems without mods) One thing to note, the Steam page uses screenshots from the Sega Genesis (or Sega CD) version, which is misrepresentative of the product that is being sold.

  As a fan of Earthworm Jim growing up this is an interesting case of nostalgia hitting up with what amounts to a lousy port. Back in the SNES days Earthworm Jim was considered a fun game due to it's unique charm. Excellent gameplay, responsive controls, outrageous humor, terrific song and music, and fair difficulty. It's everything you want in a game, something that doesn't take itself too seriously and if you screwed up it wasn't the game's fault it's because you weren't good enough. Some are present here, however the port wasn't a clean one. Hit detection can be dodgy, missing levels, sounds that just aren't plumb there. Even among the poor ports out there this is probably the worst of the bunch. If you want to get Earthworm Jim, I'd recommend the SNES/Sega/SegaCD ports. You're missing out by getting this even if you are a fan of Earthworm Jim.

  I wish they had a refund policy. The sound and music do not work correctly. There are keys that you absolutely cannot assign when redoing the key bindings, and from what I've read getting a gamepad to work is a small miracle in and of itself. Save yourself some money and frustration and pass on this broken port of a sweet, but extremely difficult, game. GROOVY!
