Earthworm Jim (Machine type: Game Boy Advance)
Earthworm Jim is a run-and-gun platformer that was originally released in 1994 and later ported to the Game Boy Advance (GBA) in 2001. The game follows Jim, an ordinary earthworm who gains extraordinary abilities after discovering a robotic super suit. Players navigate through various levels, using Jim’s gun and whip-like worm body to combat enemies and overcome obstacles.
The GBA version retains the quirky humor and unique level design of the original, including memorable stages like “For Pete’s Sake,” where players must protect Peter Puppy, and the “Andy Asteroids” racing segments. However, some players have noted that the graphics and sound are a step below the 16-bit versions, and the control scheme can feel slightly awkward due to the GBA’s button layout.
