Hack description

Earthworm Jim 2 hack on the Sega Genesis, which adds new weapon control capabilities to the game. It's no secret that the Sega version of the game does not have the ability to choose any weapon from the arsenal, unlike the same SNES version. So this hack allows you to choose any weapon that was picked up on the level. This will undoubtedly give the game flexibility in management and play will become even more interesting. To switch weapons, use the X, Y, Z, Mode buttons.

The configuration of the buttons is as follows:
-X-select the next weapon.
-Y-select the base weapon-Jim's Red Gun.
-Z-select the previous weapon.

Mode-choose your favorite weapon.

The default favorite weapon is the Red Gun. But you can assign it yourself. To do this, switch to your favorite weapon and hold down the Mode button for 1.5-2 seconds. The next time you want to choose a weapon, just press Mode.

A good way to play Earthworm Jim 2 on Mega Drive/Sega Genesis, than the originalHunk6662023-08-09Version 1.0

How this hack improves the gameplay,leaving it "similar" to the Super Nintendo and Playstation versions, is incredible!!!Despiting the fact that break the game when you shoot and change weapons at the same time, and you need to restart it.I think this is a good way to play Earthworm Jim 2, if you don't want (or can't, for whatever reason), play the 32-bit version...

As it should've beenPresidentLeever2021-03-23Version 1.0

Been enjoying this since the russian version of it years ago, so it's nice to see it added here and even improved upon.
