The hole is a bit too big though, and the interior looks ike something out of Life Force or X-Multiply.

Man, good times.

Also have to agree with OP as how the 'inside the chicken' level was really weird and unexpected, considering all the other levels were references to standard movie genres.

Earthworm Jim games in general have a creepy vibe to the.
>>
>>4022016
Is this a meme or something?
>>
>>4024642
But it is though.

I mean its different from a design standpoint and lacks some of the cheesy charm so I can see how someone might prefer the original.

If you fail to defend the barn from the aliens, Romani gets abducted. She's returned the next day, wandering around the ranch confused. Later you can find her sitting on a crate, grimacing and holding her head in discomfort. Thinking about what the aliens did to her to cause that state really bugged me as a kid.

(i'm probably considered young by this board's standards) this is my one memory of earthworm jim and it was so horrifying it burned its way into my mind and i still can't bring myself to play any of the games

In Ardy Lightfoot on the SNES, one of the villains steals a gem from you at the end of a stage, then is promptly eaten by a giant worm that pops up out of a lake. Ardy tries to go after her, and is also eaten.

The next stage takes place inside of the worm's digestive system, and a few minutes in, you find her skeletal remains sitting under one of the acid drips in the stage. In the beta release of the game, her corpse was still in the process of decomposing. Really out of place for such a lighthearted game.

The acid drip was removed from the US version, and she was just knocked unconscious instead.

How? They're some of the funniest platformers ever. I've thought so ever since I was in kindergarten. Even Peter Puppys transformation made me crack up as a kid.

Honestly, the big thing that kills REmake for me is the implementation of the crimson heads. Being obligated to waste inventory slots on the oil and lighter was crap.

Are you sure that is in middle of decomposing? That looks like a skull and bones to me,

That Villi People stage in Earthworm Jim 2. But that was probably intetional.

And that Mickey Mouse Capades game for the NES something about that whole game just seems off and kinda creepy.

Villi People was a little unsettling, but pretty comfy.

Playing the genesis version of the first game, I had an idea of what to expect. The sub race, the giant eyeballs, For Pete's Sake... ...but 'Intestinal Distress' caught me with my pants down. Especially the music...

The glowing eyes were unsettling with the music
