Story Breakdown: Earthworm Jim (Sega CD)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

Sonic the Hedgehog, M. Bison and Bubsy the Bobcat. These are a few of the iconic characters to come out of the 1990s. But for my money, one of my favorite video game stars is none other than Earthworm Jim, the unlikely hero that cemented David Perry's place as one of the greatest developers of the 16-bit era. To help celebrate the game's 25th anniversary, I thought it might be fun to take a trip back to Buttville and launch a cow or two. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and endings for Earthworm Jim: Special Edition on the Sega CD. This is Game Over: The Early Years.


Still want more endings? Then I recommend you discover 23 Endings: The Early Years, the holiday series that ran during the 2017 holiday season. We cover Ninja Gaiden, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Bros. 2, Ghostbusters, Golden Axe, Metroid, Double Dragon, Flashback, Final Fight and many more!
