That's the beginning of a funny and hooking story where you'll control Earthworm Jim and do the attractive movements offered by the game, such as use the head (actually the whole body of the earthworm) as a whip or fire all kind of weapons. When Jim saw the suit, he managed to land within the collar, and it ended up mutating him into a new and fantastic Super Earthworm. Jim is a friendly earthworm that occasionally find a ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit built and lost by Professor Monkey-For-A-Head. As of 2020, none of the game's files, nor has a demo of the game resurfaced.For sure you know Earthworm Jim, a classic arcade game originally designed for Sega Megadrive that is now available on PC for free. AvalabilityĪ test demo was never released for the PlayStation Portable port. Also new was a crouch feature that would have allowed players to crawl into smaller places. Earthworm Jim would have also allowed for players to collect different parts for powerups on Jim's suit. One referred to as 'The Birds and the Bees' would have seen Jim caught in a war between birds and bees. The port would have classic levels like 'New Junk City', but also would have added new levels. Released gameplay footage shows that the port was using 3D graphics, but with 2D gameplay.

Due to failed renegotiations, Atari ultimately shelved the project by mid-2007. Atari had noticed the financial troubles and tried to renegotiate the contract between Atari, Interplay, and Shiny Entertainment, but failed to strike a new deal on royalty payments. By this time, Interplay was facing financial trouble as they were also working on a Fallout MMO and had to pay royalties to Shiny Entertainment. This port of Earthworm Jim was being developed by Interplay. By August of 2006, it was reported that the game was 80% complete and would be ready for an early 2007 release. At E3 2006, Atari had announced that they had acquired the rights for Earthworm Jim and were planning to port the game to the PlayStation Portable.
