Welcome to Gaia! ::

I dunno, I guess I wasn't ever into any 2D platformer hardcore like. I do think Earthworm Jim needs a serious revival. Too bad the PSP version got canceled.

No idea. I never got into that game either.

From what I've seen, with the new Castlevania games, they overcomplicated it with magic spells and stuff like that. I'd rather play a straight forward 2D platformer without having to have a skill managing system equivalent of Final Fantasy 8.

I heard of it, but I don't really keep up with Castlevania. That's one Konami franchise I never got into...

Come to think of it, aside from that... Contra, Silent Hill, Metal Gear... Konami's been good to me in the past.

I.... love Earthworm Jim. xd Both of them are just utterly insane. What the Heck's premise as a level is hilarious. Where else can you have this happen:

Running through this insanity... dark, brooding music playing... and then a record scratching sounds, and the music changes to some elevator music accompanied with agonized screams while you fight the lawyers from hell, followed by some fireball-puking snowmen. rofl

I just watched that level on Utoob...Funny as all hell, pun intended. But, it doesn't look like a game I would get into.

That's not even half as weird as the first level. At least the lawyers from hell made sense (afterall, lawyers are evil), but... New Junk City... wtf. The very first thing you do in the game is climb across this chain while you get your a** chewed (literally) by a rabid dog before you reach the other side and smack this big refrigerator with your head acting as a whip before it drops and hits this tree branch which launches a cow into the atmosphere. xd

You go through and you can teleport to this little area via toilet to get an extra life and plasma shots (of which Jim screams in redneck voice "PLAYS-MAH!" each time you grab one), then you fight this miniboss which is a trash can with tires for arms and legs that spits out anvils and tubas (I think, it's been a while since I've played it). After that, you fight the boss. A A fat guy riding on this ski chair thing. A magnet drops crates down to you, which you must smack with your head like a whip onto this spring, which shoots it up and hits the fatty, 'causing him to puke up like 10 entire fish each time you do it. And when you win, Jim pulls this portable rocket-bike thing from his pocket and shoots off, then he shouts "Groovy!" rofl

Seriously. Earthworm Jim is just the weirdest, zaniest platformer I've ever played. And its sequel is amazing too. xd I prefer the first on Genesis and the second on SNES for some reason... But if you have an emulator for either, download them. They are just amazing fun. And plain random insanity at its funniest.
