Earthworm Jim 3D

Earthworm Jim 3D

Earthworm Jim 3D is a platform game and the third part of the Earthworm Jim series. It is a sequel to Earthworm Jim and Earthworm Jim 2, and the first game in the series not developed by Shiny Entertainment, which had recently adopted a strict "no sequels" policy. Interplay Entertainment, which had recently acquired the rights to Earthworm Jim, handed the franchise over to VIS Interactive. Development of the game dragged on and was repeatedly delayed until it was released for the Nintendo 64 and Microsoft Windows in 1999. The game was not well received. Critics claimed that the charm of the originals was lost and that despite the long development time, the game still felt sloppy and lacked previously advertised features.

Story

Jim the earthworm is hit by a flying cow that puts him in a coma. Jim wakes up in his own subconscious and finds that he has gone insane. His past bad guys have invaded his subconscious and if something doesn't happen soon, Jim will be in a coma forever. His super self has been unleashed in his subconscious to stop the madness. To restore his sanity, he must find the Golden Udder of Clarity. When Jim enters his subconscious, he finds that his four mind chambers have been taken over by his worst fears. He must collect Golden Udders to unlock the other three chambers, and Green Marbles to unlock the levels within the chamber. Jim defeats four villains that have taken over his mind chambers and finally faces the embodiment of his trauma: Earthworm Kim.
