Missing Earthworm Jim

Over the last day or two I have been reminding myself of the games I used to have on Super Nintendo that were amazing, like star wars, indiana jones, f-zero, metroid, mario, etc. But, anyway the other day I was reading some graphic novels by Doug Tennapel including ghostopolis and bad island (Now I can nearly bet most of you are like what the heck is he talking about now?! Trust me, just bear with me it'll be worth it.) once I finished them I liked his style of his graphic novels and recognized something, but I didn't know what until I read the "About the Author" page about Doug Tennapel. Bla bla bla... So what! Then it dawned on me as I read: "and the creator of the popular character: Earthworm Jim... " I was like holy crap! That was him! He is the creator of one of my favorite gaming characters!

Then on the way to school I remembered my awesome Earthworm Jim action figure i used to have... It Was such a simple toy and back then I barely knew who he was, but he had a button on his back(I think that is where it was) that if you pressed a spring would launch out his worm head! I loved it, even though back then the game truly annoyed me, I hated how challenging the game was! But as I think back on it, I would give anything to play that original game again, even just once. Even the old ladies hitting you with their purses on the ride upstairs would seem extremely satisfying again...

I miss the old gaming days where life wasn't focused on it but it was the funnest and most peaceful thing you would probably do that day... I miss Earthworm Jim and the Brick Gun, and everything. If you have no clue what I am talking about I suggest looking it up... now... RIGHT NOW!!!

Hope I find another good Earthworm game soon...

Until then don't lose your head...
