30 Classic SNES Games You Must Play Before You Die

10. Earthworm Jim

Sometimes a game goes above and beyond to demand attention - Earthworm Jim definitely falls into this category. A 2D platformer with run and gun elements, Earthworm Jim's most notable feature is the crazy design and story.

The gameplay might not have aged gracefully (not being able to jump and shoot is irritating) but Earthworm Jim is all about the madcap characters and world.

This is a game that features a boss called Professor Monkey-For-A-Head... A guy who literally has a monkey for a head. If that doesn't sell you on this classic game, then sadly, nothing will.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
