Inside Earthworm Jim 2

What it is

Earthworm Jim 2 was developed for the Sega Genesis and then ported over to the Super NES. They were released virtually simultaneously and were largely the same game, the only differences being that the Super NES version had alternate background art, and the ability to switch weapons.
