ToeJam and Earl, two funky aliens from the planet Funkotron, are flying through space busting out funky beats in their Righteous Rapmaster Rocketship when Earl is given the driver's seat. Flying the rocketship recklessly, Earl crashes into an asteroid, causing the ship to make a crash landing on Earth, a planet filled with incredibly dangerous lifeforms, especially humans. Now, ToeJam and Earl must explore the planet and find all 10 pieces of their rocketship so they can return home.

This was my dad’s favorite game. I played it all the time with him when they released it on the Wii shop. Before I went off to college I made sure we beat the game before I left. Definitely a classic I like going back to when I visit my dad.

TOEJAM AND EARL! Funk yeah! This was my jam growing up, easily in my top 10 favourite games of all time (although I do confess that nostalgia definitely plays a factor there). The only other game that comes close on the Genesis is Shadowrun.

@kieranstark7213 2 жыл бұрын

As great as ToeJam & Earl is, it’s a shame that even obscure (well, I’m sure these games are popular in their own right, but underrated when compared to Sonic & Nintendo, mainly Mario) games like the TJ&E games have more recognition than games that were SUPPOSED to be main Pac-Man games when there really hasn’t been a lot (the Pac-Man World games). Yep, that’s right. Pac-Man is a video game that while some people are aware that it is a franchise, people normally only think of the franchise as Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (to a lesser extent), Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures and that’s pretty much it. I guess you can say that like Jr. Pac-Man, Pac-Man World 1 & 2, while under-popularized in general, have their (avid) viewers (I’m one of them so if TJ&E could get a new game as of recently, then I can’t wait for an N-Sane/Reignited Trilogy-esque remaster of the PMW franchise including a complete version of Pac-Man Adventures/Pac-Man World 3!), but as for every other Pac-Man game, on the other hand, they really, REALLY deserve a lot more popularity.

I remember playing this when I was much younger, and by goodness, I NEVER reached the end. I had no idea it was randomly generated, so I guess as a kid I kept trying to look for familiar things that didn't exist, every time I replayed it, until it ended up frustrating my youthful brain, and I eventually gave up. Good to know I wasn't COMPLETELY insane, in hindsight! Never would of thought ToeJam and Earl of all things would be one of the progenitors of Roguelikes, but neat to know! Looking forward to the next episode, keep up the great work, Jirard.

This game is indeed an excellent chill experience. I played this game so much with my brothers growing up. Finding “Present Island” and Level 0 as a kid was a cool experience. I remember after getting a few levels up accidentally falling back down to the first level. Out of curiosity, we tried using our newly found presents to explore the vast waters (and also drowning, checking the top left and bottom right corners). Such a great reward for exploration. Still one of my favorites for the system.

Then they dance with Hula girls, get drunk off rootbeer, and find mystery boxes that can insta-kill if you don't pay money to a guy dressed in a carrot suit who can tell you what's inside.

My sister and I played the heck out of this and TJ&E2 when we were kids. The sequel is very different from the first game, but just as fun… and yeah, you’ve gotta play either or both of them in co-op one of these days. Such amazing games. I haven’t tried the XBox TJ&E cause I heard it was bad, but I might just try and find it for the heck of it. Oh, and it’s easy to tell ToeJam and Earl apart. ToeJam has a “TJ” on the medallion around his neck. Also, Earl just looks like an Earl. Or maybe I’ve just played these games too much. Probably a little of everything. Anyway, awesome video. That was a great adrenaline shot of nostalgia.
