Great Find! A Possible Wallpaper?
Can you show a pic of the Earthworm Jim poster? If it is special, maybe a nice large JPG with a decent camera as an attached zip file?

That!

man, I still remember when I got that game for my 11th birthday. About a week prior my mom comes in and suggests we flip through a Game Informer and we're looking at the Earthworm Jim review and she's all "this looks cool, you think it looks cool?" and then on my birthday I unwrapped a shiny (heh heh) brand new copy of EARTHWORM JIM! I had no idea really what I was in for but it quickly became legendary for me and my cousin, one of the greatest games ever I think.

Any of you had the pleasure of playing the Sega CD Earthworm Jim Special Edition? That's awesome too... the new level is cool. And there's new bonuses too.

Went back to Goodwill, as I wasn't able to buy everything I wanted last time. I got, for $3 apiece:

Alien (2600)
Fantastic Voyage (2600)
Game Genie (NES)
Standard controller (NES)

I'm loving the Game Genie so far. I discovered a great use for it: playing finicky games that have a hard time booting up, without cheating. It grips the carts so hard that it has a much better chance of reading it than the NES does alone.

That's because it is wrecking your cart slot. Have fun getting anything to work without it if you use it too much. Your pins will need rebending even worse then they already do.

THIS. I tried my Game Genie just one time and almost ruined my toaster NES. After the NES died, inserting a couple of different game carts a few times without the Genie got it to work again. Lucky the NES pins retained the old "memory" before the Genie did a permanent damaging bend.
