Earthworm Jim 3D

Avialable for PC and N64.

3D adventure/platform game. Bizarrely, the game takes place inside Earthworm Jim's head. His old adversary Psycrow is attempting to make him insane and you must control Jim as he explores the inner recesses of his brain trying to regain control. This he does by defeating enemies in the various areas of his brain whilst gathering up his marbles that are scattered around!

There are four main areas of the brain, each with its own theme (Happiness, Fear, Memories and Fantasy) and there are 4-5 mission to be completed in each area. New weapons and characters are included in the game, although many of the characters from the earlier incarnations of the game are featured.

The gameplay consists of standard platform fodder - exploration, combat and some puzzle solving. In-game you view Jim from a third-person perspective. He has a good selection of moves at his disposal including rolls, jumps and attacks.

The game boasts impressive 3D graphics, both character animation and environment rendering are good. An extensive range of amusing sound effects and jolly tunes accompany play.
