Quick App: Earthworm Jim Blasts its Way Onto the iPhone
Earthworm Jim [$4.99 - iTunes link], an iPhone and iPod touch remake of the classic Sega and Nintendo game of the same name, has just landed in the App Store.
Confession: I was a huge Earthworm Jim fan back in the day. The animation sold me instantly, and that animation looks just as good on the iPhone. I’m downloading it now. If anyone else gives it a try, especially old-school fans, let us know what you think.

I bought it and I like it a lot. Haven’t really had time to sit down and play it, but the control work reasonably well. Looks like they added an autoaim feature which makes things a whole lot easier. Graphics look to be completely redone as well.

Loved this game and will install eventually.
Having noticed that this was done by Interplay, which I’m hoping is still ‘in the game’, I’m REEEEEALLYY hoping for a Descent port to iPhone.
That was one of my favorite games on PC and would be so much fun with the accelerometer!

Descent would be awesome.
