To answer the original post's qustion - the game you are thinking of is Earthworm Jim. I used to love that game.
My earliest gaming experience? I can't remember how old I was, but the earliest games I remember playing were:
Manic Miner
Wonderboy
Kickstart
Dizzy
Gauntlet
Some other game, side-scrolling, Wonderboy-style but I think the main character was a girl (or long-haired guy) and you could go underground by clearing the floor blocks etc. It was a preodminantly dark-coloured game, with yellow/whitish floor blocks. I know that's incredibly vague, but I'll never remember any more than that, and it's a shame because I really want to see that game again.
Good times, really good times...

I started off with a BBC Master. Repton games, play it again sam collections etc.
I had a C64 with all the Dizzy games and a load of other rathher crappy games. I never even came close to completing any of the Dizzy's, stupid little eggman kept frying himself on the torches.

Worms? We had BattleTanx mate! Not to mention all the best PC and amiga games were ported over and then we had quality exclusives like Chocks Away and Stunt Racer 2000.
Plus you had the best OS and games with pretty much no copy protection, I think for every legit game I had I had at least 10 copied ones and of course schools were full of them which meant parents got them for thier kids and games were traded and copied en masse. Then there was the public domain and a system that actually let programmers do a lot of cool things very easily so we were spoilt for choice for games, humourous stuff and cool little demo thingies
A golden age of green acorns.

Yeah, games in general are easier than they used to be. You get the occasional exception though, Driv3r seriously tested my patience with one of it's missions.

As did I. Hard hard hard game, those were the days where you would actually play the same level around 100 times. Never happens with modern games.

got a spectrum when I was 10 or 11 I think, tape-loader 128k!
back 2 skool[sic] rocked so much, especially as you could name all the teachers and keep sitting on the school nerd so he feel off his seat and never managed to finish his telling the teacher that I punched him.
seriouly great game needs a remake, lets hope bully from Rockstar can copy a few ideas.
also Chaos a game about wizards and spells was brillant
Rupert the bear had my mother in tears of laughter, she could never jump onto the platforms.
other than that, remember getting an old school game boy (big chunky original) and thinking how powerfull it seemed as the logo came up, got that with batman, another bloody difficult game.
I idolised my mates Amiga with worms and a crappy bike racing game, all we got was an Acorn(RIP) with 2mb RAM!!
those were the days, nothing beat 4 up on Goldeneye during rainy days or arguing over shortcuts in mario kart 64
who had rich enough parents who bought them a sega gamegear? swallowed batteries like no-ones buisiness yet no one complained about the poor battery life worth it for mortal kombat though
