My pick this weekend is the 1995 run-and-gun platformer, [Earthworm Jim 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthworm_Jim_2) for the SNES.

It's perhaps even weirder than its predecessor, with strange set-pieces like using heavy pigs to weigh down switches and open doors, rescuing puppies by bouncing them on a giant marshmallow, and being turned into a blind cave-salamander who takes part in a bizarre quiz-show!

I've been meaning to revisit this one for a while, and I'm quite looking forward to it. :smile:

You recommend the SNES version over the Mega Drive version???........

I had the PC version back in the day though I never finished it....... But it always stuck with me cause of how strange it was......

Ive also been meaning to revisit both games for ages....... I really need to do that soon.......

They are interesting characters....... Its amazing how emotive they are considering they dont have mouths........

Quoting: PenglingDoes this game have lots of polygonal emotions? :tongue:

Well..... I sure did feel lots of "emotions" during the polygonal interactive sex scenes........ Yes...... You read that right...... The first sex scene in the game is "interactive"....... Flick the right stick in time to make him thrust...... And the better you do the more "emotions" he gets.......

Please note that the sex scenes are only in the EU version..... The US version which is called "Indigo Prophecy" does not have sex scenes.......

David Cage is a very....... Ummmmm...... "Special" kind of person....... He very clearly wants to make movies but for some reason is making video games instead.......

For example in this game on the main menu it doesnt say "New Game"....... It says "New Movie"....... And the auto save icon is a red "REC" button........ The tutorial has studio lights and movie cameras and director chairs setup........

Quoting: PenglingHAHAHA! :grin:

Tis the season....... More Christmas jokes all through December......

This weekend:

STALKER 2
80 hours played. Still not completed the main story. Doing loads of side missions also ofc.

Warhammer Online
Some RvR Action with my goblin shaman healer.

Farlight 84
Few beers and some Battle Royale matches with a friend. Since Apex Legends doesn't work on linux anymore

Played some Virtua Fighter 3TB on an original Dreamcast this past Saturday at Barcade with my wife and some friends. My new main is Lion Rafale. Played about 16 rounds and got some drink tickets as prizes.

I know have a original working Dreamcast (custom paint job) with 4 controllers. Disc-wise I own 3 games - Virtua Fighter 3TB, Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 and Soulcalibur.

Sunday I attended the 30th anniversary to Big Kaiju Battel with some friends. So on the ride over I reinstalled the RPG on my phone and laptop. Played it for a few minutes but maybe this time around I will end it.

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderYou recommend the SNES version over the Mega Drive version???........

Yes. :smile: For the first game the Mega Drive version is the best one, but for the second the SNES is the way to go - you can't switch weapons in the Mega Drive version because there aren't enough buttons!

Yeah, it has that effect on people. :tongue:

They basically used to be seen as the face of Japanese baseball games. :smile:
