So I bought Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 on GOG. Here are my thoughts...
220I would recommend you pick this up from GOG if you’re a fan of the series and you’re looking for a nostalgia fix. Earthworm Jim 2 could stand on its own and plays alright when compared to modern platformers. You can use modern controllers thanks to DOSbox (I played this with both a DualShock 4 and a Steam Controller), and there are few technical hurdles to clear.

Common questions:
What distro do you use?
On my office PC I use Ubuntu 17.10 with the stylish Pop! theme by System76.
On my Steam Machine I now run Ubuntu 16.04 with the Steam Compositor and nomodeswitch packages installed. (This is because later versions of Ubuntu have PIE enabled by default which prevents me from using Dolphin)
