A strange encounter... but fun none-the-less...
I first encountered this game, after ordering the Sega Channel through Paragon Cable (now comcast). Since it's conception, I would play it randomly and exceedingly well, until I beat it at least 10 times. After the Sega Channel was discontinued. I decided it was one of the games I MUST have, and decided to buy it, a good buy too (at $2.00 used) at a local game store. I still have the cardridge and its case and manual, a good buy for entertainment and loads of laughs. YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!!!

The First and Best Toejam and Earl game
This is the best one in the short series of Toejam and Earl. You go through 25 levels of pure fun. Collect presents and sneak past sleeping earthlings but don't drink that Rootbeer or you may wake them up. This game was THE original and best game though after Toejam and Earl 2 Panic on Funkatron it goes down hill. I dont know what the creator's were thinking when they came out with Toejam and Earl 3 which is really annoying and really not worth any ones time. The first one was the best video game in this genre. It was one best to play at the time for people who liked this game. Sadly Toejam and Earl 3 is nothing more than rap and stupid annoying characters and a boring final boss. Sadly this game is really rare now but it is worth finding. This game will most likely have you hooked till the end. In my opinion it is the best video game in the series of course, Toejam and Earl 3 was more show than playable. You download crappy songs and have the stupid funkapanumus or whatever it is talk in his annoying voice. This may be the only game worth playing in the entire series.

Stands the test of time
Many people lavish their favorite games with phrases like "best game ever" and "truly a classic".
ToeJam&Earl is one of the rare games that absolutely deserves it. TJ&E is not simply a piece of nostalgia that has lost it's shine over the years. Returning to old games that you have fond memories of is sometimes a disappointment -- as you grow older, they're not quite what you remembered.
But TJ&E does not suffer from such depreciation. After dusting off the old Genesis and trying a few games, I was getting ready to put the system back into the closet. I found TJ&E near the back wall, and set the Genesis back up again to try it out.
While the other games were moderately interesting, and some for sheer nostalgia factor alone, TJ&E blew me away again. It was actually BETTER than I'd remembered! Incredibly enough, the graphics still appear great, even compared to the next-gen systems that we have today. Their vibrant colors and absolutely hilarious animation make up for the fact that this is a 16bit system. TJ&E actually looks good. Don't believe me? Type "ToeJam & Earl Genesis" into google-images, and see for yourself. (Note: it's the top-down, isometric view, not the side-scroller. The side-scroller is the sequel, which was nowhere near as good as the original).
The best part of ToeJam&Earl, however, is not it's graphics. The sheer fun factor is what has always, and what continues, to drive this game. TJ&E is best experienced as a two player game. When being chased down by a phantom ice cream truck, and then your buddy walks onto the screen and opens a rocket skates present to blast the two of you to safety (or off the edge of a cliff!), I guarantee you will shout and laugh. It's that fun.
If you have a Sega Genesis, buy this game. You will not be disappointed.

One of the Best games for Sega Genesis
Toejam and Earl is a classic game that is unlike any other. You are aliens from the planet Funk-o-tron, and as you are getting down to funky beats, your ship crashes and you must collect the pieces to re-assemble your ship while avoiding enemies like Ice Cream Trucks, Lawn-mower men, and Nerds.
This game provides hours and hours of fun, the only bad thing about it is you can't save it. Other than that, this game is a blast, and I am very surprised that they haven't come out with something like this again. This game DOES have sequels, but they are nothing like this game and really aren't any good at all. If you own a Sega Genesis and you're looking for a good 1- or 2-player game, this is it!
