*recently*
Been playing the SNES version (yeah, I know the sound effects suck in that version, but the graphics and music make up for it, so fuck you) of the first game rather casually lately, and have got a decent handle on the controls, to the point where I think I might be able to record a playthrough of it or something soon (idklol). But, yeah, groovy game, with groovy humor, and overall general grooviness (though the whip's latency is fucking annoying).
I also tried out the HD remake, and I'm rather disappointed with it. Aside from fucking up the sound completely (the voice samples...ugh), many of the animation frames have been either completely excluded or sequenced in such a way where various actions appear either too fast or too slow, but always in a way that makes them look unnatural. The controls also feel somewhat stiffer than before, probably due to latency that exists in the new code. Overall, it's just...well, in the words of Earthworm Jim, not "groooovy."
Also, Doug TenNapel is a raving homophobic asshole. Who knew?
Eh, well, David Perry's still awesome.

I like most of the music in the game quite a bit, save the New Junk City theme.
