Toejam And Earl

ToeJam & Earl is an action video game developed by Johnson Voorsanger Productions and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis video game console. Released in 1991, it centers on the titular ToeJam and Earl—alien rappers who have crash-landed on Earth. As they attempt to escape the planet, players assume the role of either character and collect pieces of their wrecked spacecraft. ToeJam & Earl's design was heavily influenced by the role-playing video game Rogue, and took from it such features as the random generation of levels and items. It references and parodies 1980s and early 90s urban culture and is set to a funk soundtrack.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The game has tons of personality and humor.
 * 2) You can play as Toejam or Earl, and you can grab a friend to play multiplayer.
 * 3) On the subject of multiplayer, the multiplayer in the game is one of the best 90's multiplayer experiences on the Genesis.
 * 4) You can explore the randomly generated map, and you can find secrets and power-ups to help you on your quest. You can also find the rocket pieces (Which you need to win the game) on certain islands.
 * 5) Creative enemies, such as man-eating mailboxes, chickens armed with tomato shooting mortars, and giant hamsters.
 * 6) If you play in multiplayer mode, Toejam and Earl will reveal Dialogue and jokes between the two that you can't find in single player.
 * 7) Unique soundtrack.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) There are only a few songs in the game, and the music can get repetitive.
 * 2) Poor ending.

Game Tip

 * 1) There is a secret area known as Level 0. All you need to do is find a Floatie power up, and fall off the island in a level (Make sure you're on level 2 or 3 if you want to fall down, since the process to getting back to level one will be much faster). Then, equip the Floatie and go into the water. You can use the Floatie as a boat, and you paddle to the southwest of the map. Here, you'll discover another island. Then, fall off the island. This will take you to Level 0. Here, you'll find a Hot Tub and a lemonade stand. Go to lemonade stand, and if this is your first time doing so, you'll obtain an extra life. Then, take a dip in the Hot Tub. This will restore your health free of charge. If you fall from level 0, then you'll be taken to the highest level you reached in the game so far.
