[edit] Psycrow or Psy-Crow?

Is the proper spelling Psycrow or Psy-Crow? Or are both of them correct? Is there any official source to confirm the proper spelling? --Boredalot 17:01, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I think they are both the same, but most use the hyphenated one.--User:Animedude360 12:381, 10 February 2006

[edit] Composer

Some versions credit this to Mark Miller, others credit this to Tommy Tallarico. Who composed for the first Earthworm Jim game? I know Tallarico did it for the second... -TonicBH 09:07, 21 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Soundtrack

I deleted this section as it was way too excesive, as it stood it was only a soundtrack listing which wouold serve little use to anyone. Deathawk 20:44, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image alignment issues

Does "Image:Earthworm Jim Nintendo.gif" look messed up for anyone else viewing this page? Left-aligned as it is, it crashes into the text and makes it look jittery. After I aligned it to the right, it looked fine on my browser, but User:Ace of Sevens left an edit summary saying it left a large blank space in the article.

To compare: [1] (right-aligned) and [2] (left-aligned).

Should we move it to a place where it might cause less problems, or just remove it altogether? --GUTTERTAHAH 21:34, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

What OS/browser/resolution are you suing? I'm on XP/Explorer/1280x960. When right aligned, the image has to start after the right-aligned infobox, as must all text that comes after it. This meant there was a large blank space to the left of the lower part of the info box. The image crashing into the text sounds more like a browser issue than a problem with the page. Ace of Sevens 22:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm also using XP, but I'm using Firefox and my resolution is 1024x768. Perhaps like I said before; it might be better to move it elsewhere in the article, such as how I made it look in my development page. Alternatively, we could just exclude it altogether and avoid the headache, as it's not really a neccessary image. --GUTTERTAHAH 22:51, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
I right-aligned it and put it at the end of the levels section. It's not quite as appropriate, but hopefully it will draw correctly for everyone. Ace of Sevens 22:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ported

"The game was developed by Shiny Entertainment, released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994, and subsequently ported to the SNES" The SNES version came out two weeks after the Sega version, so was it really ported to SNES or was it also released for SNES? JayKeaton 03:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

If there's no difference in the credits, I think it's reasonable to say that it was developed for both. But if there was an additional party that handled the SNES translation, then it's debatable. Ham Pastrami 06:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] removed stray sentence

Removed this sentence because of the overall poor quality of the sentence: "It has been roumerd that the first earthworm jim team will make a come back to make a new Earthworm jim Game." While it has been stated the the original Earthworm Jim team was reassembled and interested in making a new Jim game on a next-gen console - meaning that this is technically not a rumor - whether or not that game will actually happen now depends on other factors; if all that deserves mention on this page is a decision I'll leave to someone else. --Justyn7 02:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)




[edit] MS-DOS only version

I am pretty sure that there was a PC MS-DOS version of this game, impossible to find these days i see. I remember have played it, nevertheless, I see that isn't mentioned nowhere. Somebody knows something about this matter? greetings

The standalone PC version was for Windows 95 only. You might be confusing it with EWJ2, which was for DOS. Both games were bundled in the "Whole Can o' Worms" box, which was for DOS. Ham Pastrami 06:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Any confirmation of the cancellation of the PSP game?

Is there any reliable source that states that the PSP port was cancelled? 12.205.224.183 (talk) 08:03, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Not of full cancellation, but until further notice it is on hiatus. It may be brought back into production in the future. Or it could be "replaced" by EWJ4. Either way Atari is doing pretty badly lately, so it depends if Atari gets back up or if someone else picks up on EWJ PSP from where they left off. SuperLink9 (talk) 10:42, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Earthworm Jim 4, Earthworm Jim animated series, Earthworm Jim feature film announced.

"BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interplay Entertainment Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: IPLY) announced today that the company signed a partnership arrangement with Earthworm Jim creator Douglas TenNapel to relaunch the videogame icon.

TenNapel will serve as a creative consultant on Earthworm Jim 4, and will simultaneously develop an animated series and feature film to expand the well known brand."[3]

  • Why does the article list it as a DS game? There is no confirmation of any platforms yet. Going to re-word this.--70.160.177.68 (talk) 04:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
It keeps being reverted to EWJ DS again, for some reason. I think a page needs to be created detailing what is known about the game so far, the revival etc. I also think the TV Series page should be updated, and maybe mention the film on the TV Series page.
