I played the original on Genesis for the first time recently, since I had always heard that this was one of the best games on the system. The visual style is incredible, everything looks like it jumped right out of a 90s Saturday morning cartoon and it just oozes character, but the gameplay leaves much to be desired. It can be difficult to tell which parts of a level are actual level geometry, or just a background or foreground. Enemies, even early on, are very unforgiving, and can stun-lock the player or keep them stuck for a few seconds while an animation plays of the enemy tearing Jim to pieces. Controls don't feel very responsive, especially when ropes are involved, but I do like the way you aim the blaster with the d-pad. The blaster itself feels great to use, it's powerful and snappy, but Jim's whip attack (what you'll mostly be using) is extremely inconsistent and takes like half a second to actually use. All of these combined results in a game that looks incredible for the Genesis, but feels like you have very little control over, which makes for a frustrating experience.
