The board members sit back down and say carry on and voila Earthworm Jim is born.Įarthworm Jim was released to critical acclaim with some of the best graphics to grace the Megadrive at the time a combination of action, puzzle solving and humour was delivered in such a way it was almost impossible not to enjoy. So your name is Doug TenNapels and you have an idea for a video game character which you present to a company called Shiny Entertainment the idea is a worm, I would imagine as that was announced the board members probably started to close their folders and put away their cheque books until the words ‘in a space suit with a machine pistol’ were added to the sentence.
