Earthworm Jim on iPhone? Wow!
OMG! I used to love this game. Countless hours of sitting there and watching 16 bit colour in all of its glory. Feeling a little nostalgic
I haven’t even seen that game in a while… It would definitely be interesting to play it on the iPhone!
Man that takes me back! I’d love to play that game again.
NOSTALGIA! I remember this game, used to be all about it! I need this, I NEEDS IT! That’s why I comment + retweet! WOOP WOOP!
Totally want it. Kids will try and play it but I won’t let them unless they
clean their room.
SWEEET!
that would be a wonderful addition to any library!
Would love to win this, Thanks
I still have AND use my Super Nintendo! The iPhone game would be a hoot!
I loved this game years ago…and now my kids could do it too. I would love a copy!
Wow I haven’t played that game in years… Would be a great addition to my iPhone retro-game collection!
I say this was one of the best adventure games back when it came out, its a classic. I would love to play it again.
earthworm Jim…that game has taken hours of my life…and I’d love to give it moar!!!
Grooooooooovy!!!
Oh man, I used to LOVE Earthworm Jim on the PC. And I just got an iPhone 3 days ago, so this would be the perfect new app for it!
I’ve been following this ever since it was announced that Sega wouldn’t be releasing Earthworm Jim as part of the Vintage Collection. I’ve been waiting to get my hands on this to see how great a job Gameloft have done. I especially love that they used the Sega CD version as a starting point. I made it a point not to play that version or the PC Special Edition version I own (I didn’t want to spoil myself). My PC Special Edition is still in great condition, original jewel case and manual (Unfortunately the same can’t be said for my Sega CD verision). Now time to save Princess-What’s-Her-Name from Queen Slug-for-a-Butt.
I loved this game since it came out!!!
Damn.
so many memories with it!
Earthworm Jim was my hero… in college.
