ToeJam & Earl

released on Mar 12, 1991

ToeJam & Earl is an early 1990s dungeon crawler. The game features two alien rappers, who have crash-landed on Earth and parodies 1980s urban culture. The game'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. Played from a 2D-top-down perspective the game contains both single-player and two-player cooperative modes. The latter displays a single screen when both characters are near each other, but splits it apart when they are not. Playing the game with two players reveals dialogue and jokes between the characters not heard in the single player game.

Even when it came out I could tell this was made by a bored room of old people trying to be young and hip.

Played the sequel a lot more, and preferred that side-scrolling platformer style. This is interesting in hindsight though, was trying some weird adventure game stuff

It feels a sluggish collectathon. I wanna appreciate it more but I can't.

Impressive and good ass game considering it came out 1991, enemies get so FUCKING annoying some times but still fun.
