Earthworm Jim

Post by Spyder »

Anyone remember the game and the subsequant cartoon?

I'm trying to find somewhere where I can grab episodes of the said cartoon, for I find it funny.

Kazaa lite refuses to yield, so does WinMX, and I'm not having a lot of luck with hubs in DC++ either. Anyone here have any suggestions?

As too helping you find it, sorry can't do. But I am with you on how much I liked it.

"I will not fear, fear is the mind killer-"

"International House of Haggas."

Good shit.

It was brilliant. I know it's out on VHS but not locally and well...VHS...

Mental note, get better VCD/DVD authoring gear...

Anyway, if anyone wants to assist on my crusade to track down EWJ episodes it would be appreciated.

Check every video store or rental place you can get to and look for their used movies, I see them for sale used all over.

they re releaased the toys too, check Kay Bee.

Video games, theres lotsa them al over, those are EZ to find.

Getting VHS copies probably wouldn't be too difficult but I'd want to convert the lot over to either DivX or VCD, and my vhs gear isn't really good enough for doing that.

Managed to get a couple off Kazaa.

I thought the cartoon came first since I watched the cartoon first before I found the game.
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.

This and Sam and Max were two cartoons that went before their time.

At least I got some Earthworm Jim action figures out of it.

But damn it, where are the Sam and Max ones.

Ok, so far I have found Great secret of the Universe - which if memory serves is the one with the snow globes, and hyper psy-crow which is one I haven't actually seen.

Seems to be the same 2 showing up on kazaa, not having a hell of a lot of luck finding bit torrent links.

Oh well... perserverance.

The problem you're going to run into is that there were only 4 VHS tapes released of EWJ. Any other episodes are probably going to be TV rips.

Good luck finding some decent quality TV rips. I know there's RealMedia rips out there... *shudder* what a godawful abortion of a format.

Its one of my favorite cartoons ever .... they'll probably release every eppisode to DVD like they do with every other show .... for god sakes, they did it with " forever knight " .... maybe you should check FYE.com

Probably not actually. Or not for a very long while.

Unless there is a massive fan outcry for it to be released it probably won't.

That's why you see the Tick and Firefly released so quick after cancellation.

Just to add another cartoon to that list, but the Tick died too young as well, and that show was fan-fucking-tastic. But I agree, I *loved* Earthworm Jim and Sam and Max (I still occasionally go through Sam and Max hit the road because the game is so funny).

The Tick was great. How long did it last?

I think that two or three seasons were made, but that wasn't nearly enough in my opinion.
