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 were, in their own words, "two highly funky aliens" who were 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 was broken up into ten pieces which were scattered amongst the many levels of the planet. They had to search each level for the rocketship pieces, and the elevator to the next level. On their way they had to struggle against all kinds of Earthlings with no help other than a number of presents that were conveniently scattered around.

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

Ship pieces are well marked. Finding them is the hard part.
