It’s interesting to note that, despite the pathetic (and hilarious) nature of the Bob the Goldfish fights in both Earthworm Jim 1 and 2, I actually consider both of those games to be quite difficult overall.
It’s like they decided to give you a reprieve from the oppressive difficulty, and make a joke all at the same time.
Also worth noting is the fact that this clip was captured from the Genesis version of the game, as is clearly evident from the ratty sound quality.
Maybe it’s just because I grew up with an NES and Super NES in the house, but for whatever reason I seem to have a stigma against most Sega products…

I definitely appreciated both the reprieve and the joke. The aesthetics and je ne se qua of Earthworm Jim always appealed to me, but as someone who isn’t actually good at video-games I was never able to beat either (even using cheat-codes I only got to the last level in 1)
