Toejam & Earl is an action game developed by Johnson Voorsanger Productions and published by Sega for the Mega Drive (Genesis) in 1991. The game allowed for single-player or two-player co-operative play.

Plot

Toejam and Earl are, in their own words, "two highly funky aliens" who cruising along in their "highly funky, ultra-cool, righteous Rapmaster Rocket Ship" when Earl decided that he wanted a "shot in the driving seat". Earl's aweful driving led them to hit a comet which damaged the ship and caused them to crash land on "the most insane planet in the galaxy, planet Earth". The rocketship is broken up into ten pieces which are scattered amongst the many levels of the planet. They must search each level for the rocketship pieces, and the elevator to the next level. On their way they must struggle against all kinds of Earthlings with no help other than a number of presents that are conveniently scattered around.

Once they have collected all of the pieces they put the ship back together and fly back to their home planet Funkotron. After walking through crowds of cheering spectators they are at last reunited with their families.
