June 9th, 1994--- Earthworm Jim made its debut on the Sega Genesis, introducing players to a truly unique hero: an earthworm in a robotic super suit. Developed by Shiny Entertainment, the game stood out for its quirky humor, inventive level design, and fluid animation, quickly becoming a cult classic. The success of Earthworm Jim led to sequels, a TV series, and a lasting legacy as one of the most memorable platformers of the 16-bit era. If you ever swung from a grappling hook made of your own worm body, you know why this game is still celebrated today!
