I was surprised to find so many subtle differences when researching Earthworm Jim 2's Definitive Version. It was a close race, but the Sega Saturn barely edged out the competition here with it's upgrades over the original 16-bit releases, in combination with its minor advantages in load times and parallax backgrounds when compared to its PS1 counterpart.

Some would say the original PC/DOS version is truly the definitive version of Earthworm Jim 2 however its omission of the "Lorenzo's Soil" level makes it a no from me dawg.
