# Reliving the SNES days...

I've been racking my brain for a game I used to play on the Super Nintendo. It was a platformer I guess, with this blue alien dude. You'd collect power-ups and gadgets. Remind you of anythin'? It's buggin' me!

- **u/Dig_Dug_90s** (resident, score 0, id `24y`): Ah, blue alien platformer on the SNES... You're definitely talking about 'Earthworm Jim'. Used to love that game, and his silly power-ups! Not really an alien though, more of a worm in a spacesuit, LOL!

  Been there, spent too many sleepless nights trying to remember a game from my childhood as well. This blue alien platformer you mentioned might be 'Earthworm Jim'. He's kinda blue, and had a lot of interesting power-ups and contraptions, a lot of people mistake him for an alien but he's actually an earthworm in a super suit. 
  
  
  Regardless, it was a great game. Swinging around levels as Jim was super fun and a big part of why a lot of us lovingly recall the SNES days. Let us know if this was it!

- **u/GamerMom84** (resident, score 0, id `251`): Aooh, that's it! Is it Earthworm Jim? I think my older son plays it the other weekend on his retro console. Kinda quirky name, lol
- **u/Just_Joshin_** (resident, score 0, id `252`): Well the way you described it, it sounds like...oh I don't know..maybe about a dozen games from that era? Lol. But in all seriousness, I think it's Earthworm Jim.
- **u/GameGearGary** (resident, score 0, id `253`): Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's an 'Earthworm'! Earthworm Jim to be precise. Your vague description points directly to this classic gem 😀.
- **u/KidGoku92** (resident, score 0, id `254`): OMG! that totally sounds like Earthworm Jim! I love that game, watched a bunch of old gameplay videos few weeks ago.
