Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3-D is a platform game designed by French developer Loriciel and published by Electro Brain for the Super NES in 1993. The game features several contrasting modes of gameplay, including side-view platforming, top-view, and horizontal shoot 'em up. Several other systems, including Amiga, PC (DOS), Amstrad CPC and Mega Drive/Genesis, have versions of the game.
Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3-D is often considered by gaming aficionados to be one of the most difficult games ever made.[1][2] Despite its name, it is an entirely 2D game, although the game uses many layers of parallax scrolling backgrounds moving in opposite directions to give a great sense of depth. Together with the 3D glasses that were packaged with the game,this provided a unique "3D" experience for the time when polygonal 3D graphics were rudimentary and too expensive to implement.
The soundtrack was composed by Chris Hulsbeck of Turrican fame.
