I remember seeing TJ & Earl 1 at a retro shop awhile ago. I'm really kicking myself for not picking it up because this game is one of the best co-op games on the genesis imo. Love both 1 and 2 games equally.
I played the first ToeJam and Earl for the first time a couple years back and...well, maybe I need to give it another chance but I don't think it's fair to say it's aged well. I enjoyed the overview though.
@SilverMongooseVideos Dude,I still pull out 2 controllers and its gives me a hell of a challenge trying to beat it again with my son..The game is still amazing to this day!
great review man!!!! i never new they had a toejam&earl for xbox .... i only have planet on funkotron i cant wait to play & add the frist 1 of the series to my collection
Great review! I never have played any of the games but after this, it looks like the kind of game Id really like to try out! When I was younger, the SNES was the only system my family had so I missed out on a bunch of the Sega titles. I would have to say the game that looks most interesting to me would be the original. Maybe one day they will come out with a 4th but untfortunatley it has been 10 years since there last game so its not lookg good. Great vid bro!
I'm a little ashamed to have to admit I haven't played any of them, no other reason that they just seemed to pass me by! I may have to see if I can pick up either a Genesis or Jap MD version and sort this out. How reliant is the first games based on text? Great video by the way Josh!
Great review on an indeed classic series. You are 100% correct, I still haven't played anything comparable to date. Check my channel out, looking for subs! I'd be honored brother!
I'm surprised the didn't release the first two T&E on XBLA. How sweet would that be to play online. I tried to like the first one, hell I had a 3 day rental with it. lol I was young and I gravitated more towards the second one, it being a platformer and having great graphic animations. I played very little of the third, I agree the dialogue was beyond cheesy, but the graphics were freakin great. Another great video bro, maybe you should do a hack and ........LOL
yes man! u always pick the dopest games lol. good review. u really know ur stuff man. either that or ur an amazing reader lol. but shit man keep it up!
ive always wanted to get these games, but have yet to run across them in the wild for some strange reason. they look fun though, and your review just made me want to find them more. great video bud!
Excellent job man, you really did the series justice. I would also love to see a new Toejam & Earl game come out. Fingers crossed for Sega to do the right thing huh? =P
The original was one of the best 2 player games ever created and the developer wanted to keep the same formula for the sequel but Sega insisted that it wouldn't have sold.I think i read that the only reason Toe Jam and Earl were not in Allstars racing was because the creators didn't receive any royalties from the sales of the virtual console releases.
Shame they didn't make it into All-Stars Racing, but there were intentions at least. They depict everything SEGA was in the early 90's, attitude, pick-up-and-play, low brow humour and overall coolness.
By the way, do you plan on talking about Fantasy Zone? It's a shame they dropped those games.
Great review. I always wondered what these games were like and you def did a thorough explanation for each game. I'd like to pick these games up someday for my Genesis and try them out.
Really interesting video, Josh. I didn't know much about the series so its really cool to see it get some attention. You said you hope we don't have to wait 10 years for a new installment but damn, its been pretty darn close. 9 and 2/3 years, eh. I really loved that you used a CRT TV for the capture as well. Classic stuff!
LOL my plan worked! You did a review! Just kidding, great review man, I think you did a great job showing how different the two games are, the series is definitely a treasure among the genesis library...still like the 2nd one more though :p. To be honest I was surprised neither title popped up on the genesis collection for 360/ps3
ToeJam & Earl is one of my Fav games.. When I was younger I had a SNES and my buddy had a Gensis.. I use to go to his house everyday and play it.. I always had to be Earl and I hate being Earl.. Now I have my own Genesis and the Game and nobody can make me be Earl.
