Though it rarely gets the attention it deserves, Toejam and Earl is positively the best game I've played for Genises. The graphics, though of course nothing like modern graphics, still hold up well. but the game play and the characters are what make it great. the two are aliens from funkotron, a very funky planet far away. however, earl crashes into an asteroid, and as fate would have it, they crash land on the most insane planet in the universe- earth. your job is to navigate them through different levels with roads, ponds, and islands in the middle of space picking up presents (power-ups) in order to find pieces of your spaceship and then the elevater up to the next level. the game is best played with two players, which is what the creators had in mind when making the game (go to their site, www.tjande.com to read up on them). anyway, the two-player mode is even more fun, and the split screen works surprisingly well. also, as i mentioned, the characters are hilariously, from the chickens with mortars to the herd of nerds to the wiseman in the carrot suit. if you have a genises, buy this game. best of all, everything is randomly generated, so it never gets old!

I've played a lot of games in my time, but all have paled in comparisson to the genious of a game! Me and my brother have spent countless hours wasting away in front of the telly playing this game and enjoying every minute. It's basically about two aliens that get stuck on earth and have to find pieces of their spaceship to get back to their planet. If you're one for the quality of the graphics and the latest technology, you may not like this game at first, but if you start to play it I assure that you'll like it. This game is definatly funner if you play it with a partner, and this is one of the only game that a split screen dosn't subtract from the enjoyment of the game. I highly HIGHLY recommed this game to anyone! It's sure to make you have a fun time!

I've looked for this game for so long. When I was little my older neighbor Jeff would bring it over and we'd play and play. It was always so fun. I have so many memories with that game. I have never played a game better or more beautiful that this one.

Quit exposing the pitifullness of yourself for the lack analytcal prowess within the concept of "groove and move." Grow your Weiner through the ranks to Lord of Funk, and layout trademark skidmarks of your powerful knowledge upon the green grass of planet Earth. Wit funk so sweetly stank it will make your boogers run South for the winter and drive the maggots from your brain. Try to play the basslines yourself and your fingers will hurt and smell like a long night of love. This training becomes necessary, however, because wiffout proper education, the boogieman will rip your face off, moles will shake you down for your SantaClaus bestowals, mailboxes will rise up to feast upon your third leg, or perhaps your pants will fall down in front of a Hula-Girl. Such ricoculosity will demand shouts of "what you means" at your poor television set, unless you pay the solid wisdom of the Galatic repository to identify boom-boxes and slingshots for a mere $2 a pop. Whence this fortune originates lies deeply concealed in the fruit of the carrot, and is not made for even a Rapmaster to contemplate... however, with this knowledge you may go forth and bludgeon Dental Malpracticionators, Geekus Dorkia, and hordes of Satanic fatbodies whilst they slither and slather helplessly to the beautiful funky -all about the ol' style- beats.

Don't go back to Funkotron. This is a word of warning: Funkotron is full of a Panic, and is not worth your troubles once you commandeer Earf. Instead, fly your ship down to level 0 and live out your lives in the hot tub with Hula Babies, drinking lemonade and eating imported foods. Word to the (extremely wise): any earthling opened at the bottom of the world is a chaste polynesian long black haired booty shakin lover of Dufusses, Homies and the alien like.

Toejam and Earl III is all about love, so go for it by all means. Just remember to ground you self firmly in the Relaxed Atmosphere of this Genesistical Perfection.

If this review wasn't helpful to you, you never knew -and you'll probably end up as undignified roadkill of a phantom Ice Cream Truck.

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!

Toejam and Earl is great fun, and, best of all, the two player mode is cooperate, not competative. I have spent hours and hours with my husband playing this game. It is not particularly violent - your best weapon is a tomato, and your best survival strategy is avaoidance.

Bad guys include a guy with a lawn-mower, a phantom ice-cream truck, and a woman with a baby in a shopping cart.

Really a great game!

It took me nearly 17 years, but I only just finished Toejam and Earl for the first time last night. What a game! And such a simple concept too.

The titular characters (a three-legged eyeball type dude and a fat dude) from the planet Funkotron are jammin' through the cosmos in their space ship when they are marooned on Earth. With their ship in pieces we must guide them through 25 madcap levels avoiding loony Earthlings and the danger of early 90s pop culture.

Set to a series of hip tunes Toejam and Earl is a very colourful, funny, imaginative and addictive experience that might seem a little dated in the 21st century but has certainly lost none of its charm. Two sequels followed but neither were as highly regarded as this one. There might still be room for a new incarnation of the funky aliens but if you believe the original is the best then download this for your Nintendo Wii immediately.

It's also worthwhile hunting down the Sega Tunes: ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron soundtrack CD. It's rare, but brilliant.

what can i say about this game that has not already been said. i played it about 11 years ago and complete forgot about it till recently....i actually went on amazon to buy a sega genesis just to play this game and of course your looking to buy it at 40 bucks or higher for good quality and i did. im so excited i cant wait for it to come in...it is by far the best game ever. and at these prices only proves it.

This is the best game every. I have had it for 7 years and i still enjoy playing it.

This game is easily in the top 10 or top 5 of Genesis games ever made, I would even rate it up there as one of the best games of all time!

That's a pretty heavy statement; but this game was a true leader in a lot of aspects. The graphics were great and colorful back then, and to this day still aren't laughably bad. What really separated this game from a lot of the others out there was the unique and innovative gameplay.

The whole mess starts where TJ and E were cruising through space where their spaceship was struck by an asteroid (courtesy of Earl's crazy driving!) Now on planet Earth the most wacky insane dangerous planet in the galaxy you have to collect the pieces and rebuild your spaceship. You have to do this while dodging boogie men, spellbinding hula girls, devils, crazy ice cream truck drivers, warrior Chickens with mortars, angry moms with shopping carts, tattoo sporting cigar smoking lawnmower men, herds of nerds! But you've got the ammo to deal with these punks sling shots! Boombox! Tomatoe Bombs! Icarus wings. You read all that right their are so many different power ups and styles of playing this game it just doesn't get old!

I highly recommend this game and gotta give this the badge of a true classic.
