Welcome
In 1994 the first ever incarnation of Earthworm Jim was released published by PIE playmates interactive, and created by fresh faced company Shiny Entertainment. In time Shiny would become one of the biggest games developers around, creating some of the most cutting edge and novel titles around (well at least for more than half a decade.)
As a school leaver I had no idea what to do with my life, there was nothing really appealing and I probably would have ended up flipping burgers and having a quiet life (well I guess it wouldn’t have been all bad apart from the smell of grease fat)
Then I looked at what I really enjoyed, the list at the time was pretty short and I am glad I didn’t take most of it up as a career. In the end I decided I enjoyed technology and videogames and this game called Earthworm Jim, I knew all the secrets backwards, the cheat codes the hidden easter eggs.
At the time there where no games colleges and I still didn’t feel right with the big old world, so I studied at a local college where I upped my IT skills and learned how to code HTML (badly) The first public site I did was a fansite for EWJ - this fansite! of course when I say this fansite it was probably four versions back or more and as I said a HTML Designers nightmare.
