The leading role in Earthworm Eddie is played by an Earthworm named Eddie ( who said we had to be original ). Strange enough he has an enormous appetite for apples. He has them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And in-between he eats even more apples. He tries to stay away from most of the other stuff that crosses his path.
Eddie is a bit of a loner and he doesn’t like to be near other worms. Sadly for Eddie two worms don’t seem to care and are always looking for his company.
Dave, his annoying nephew is never serious and always want’s to play games. Tina the Tapeworm thinks she knows what’s good for him and visits him whenever she can. It’s very obvious that Tina is in love with Eddie and she scatters hearts around like candy.
Eddie thinks nothing of it. He’s only interested in eating apples and nothing or nobody will stop him. He would even travel to Mars for them. Well! It’s his lucky day because NASA just planned a trip to the red planet. Besides on the surface of Mars you will also find Eddie on the lawn near the golf court, underground between the drainpipes and cables, and on the rooftop of a New York skyscraper. Eddie will have to overcome many strange things and puzzles. On Mars he has to deal with the highly fiery and self-destructing Martians. On top of the skyscraper he has to stay clear from Boris Big Head.
The game offers 200 levels and four different themes. Each theme has some unique twists. On Mars you have to deal with laser beams and force field’s. Collecting balls on the lawn will make you rich. Underground, it’s better not to eat the carrot’s. And, drinking a cop-of-coffee on top of the skyscraper will not make you sleepy.
Earthworm Eddie is a game for everyone. It offers action and without fast reflexes you will not get far. Earthworm Eddie also has a lot to do with careful planning. Using your head is sometimes necessary to complete a level.
If the game is too tough or too easy for you, simply grab the editor and make your own levels. The original game levels don’t include all the jokes and cranks possible. You can create a level where Eddie has to eat his way through concrete walls. You can also create a level, filled with apples from which only 15 are save to eat.
If you are really, really good you will earn a place in Eddie’s high-fliers. The ten highest scores are included. You can determine the difficulty and the speed of the game play. Using the original level editor you can make levels and even put together a whole new game.
To make a long story short, Earthworm Eddie is a great game you love to play over and over!
