  With old consoles getting re-released with built in games. It looks like retro gaming is becoming big. If it's through the re-released consoles or emulators or if you have the original systems, do you play retro games?
  
  I have a NES, SNES Classic and an Atari Flashback 7, I also have the original NES and SNES consoles too. As well as a Sega Master System II and a Mega Drive II. I sometimes play retro games on the original systems, but mostly if it's games like Sonic, that is through the Classic Collection on the Nintendo DS or the Mega and Gems Collection. I might play more retro games on the original systems in future.

  I love retro games but those classic consoles usually never play all the ones I played as a kid. I have Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection for PS3 and it has some of my favorites like Sonic and Vectorman but I loved the Earthworm Jim games and those will never be on those. I also loved Desert Strike and Jungle Strike but I don’t think those have ever been rereleased.
  
  They tend to include first party games and the bigger 3rd party exclusives but rarely multiplatform games.

  I never played the Earthworm Jim games, but I don't know why those games haven't been re-released on the classic consoles. I thought the point of releasing the classic consoles was a way to make retro gaming affordable, since a some of the retro games have been going up in price. I have Desert Strike on the Mega Drive. And I have played Jungle and Urban Strike too. I don't know why there hasn't been a re-release of those games, they were made by Electronic Arts, but have EA re-released classic games before?

  In my opinion the Earthworm Jim games were just as good as the big guns Sonic and Mario. Very fun games, I'd recommend them. As far as being re-released on classic consoles, it's because they're 3rd party and they don't want to pay the licensing unless it was a HUGE game. The first EWJ was re-released in Xbox 360 and PS3 though. The PS1 Strike games were on PS3 store too in their original format but I liked the 16 bit ones a bit better.

  what version of Earthworm Jim was best? Some third party games were better one console than the others. Like the first Mortal Kombat game was more successful on the Mega Drive than the SNES, I think it was because of a seven button code, what unlocked the gore. Also some games had better music on one console than the other too.

  Well if just counting Snes/Genesis the Genesis version was better as it had a whole extra level. I think there were some things better on Snes but not enough to really notice. But if you count other consoles the Sega/Mega CD version of EWJ 1 was best because of the superior soundtrack(same music just actual instruments) and as far as EWJ2 the Saturn/PS1 versions were best. I think the PS1 version is pretty rare though. They never released that in America either.

  If I ever get Earthworm Jim I think it will be the Mega Drive version. Apart from the SNES and Mega Drive, I never have played any other fourth generation console. Another game I thought was good, but tough was Strider. I never played the sequel though.
