Story:The game's Special Edition was released for the Sega Genesis add-on, the Sega CD. It was based on the Genesis version, contained all of its levels, plus some extended section to the levels and a single completely new level, titled "Big Bruty", a new remixed CD audio soundtrack, as well as around 1,000 more frames of in-game animation. These versions were also the only ones to contain alternate endings when winning on the "Easy" or "Difficult" difficulties, in which a narrator rambles on about many (false) facts about worms or congratulates the player in a similar absurd manner respectively. The Special Edition was later ported to Windows 95 by Activision.Show more

This was one of the best platforms games ever made, funny, long, with a great soundtrack, it would be great have back the Special Edition, because it was the best version of the game.

I am still an Earthworm Jim fan, and unfortunately, I didn't get to play this particular version. This was a unique game who's humor bordered that of an adult. This game should be preserved because of the uniqueness that it brought into the gaming genre
