Some games continue to shine years after their release, some fail to hold up, and some land squarely in the middle. We're exploring the latter territory on this week's episode of Replay, where we tackle Earthworm Jim, a wonderfully quirky platformer that has fantastic animation and tons of charm with some slightly less-than-ideal actual platforming.

Join me, Tim Turi, Dan Ryckert, and Andrew Reiner in playing through multiple levels of this Shiny classic, including the infamous "For Pete's Sake." And stay tuned after the cow drops for another edition of Replay Roulette, where we grab a random SNES game from our vault and see how long it holds our attention.
