ToeJam & Earl
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.

About This Game
Two extraterrestrial musicians find themselves stranded on Earth after a catastrophic collision sends their ship plummeting toward the planet's surface. Discovering that this strange world poses far greater dangers than they anticipated, the alien duo must navigate through hostile terrain while contending with the planet's unpredictable and often aggressive denizens. Armed with assistance from sympathetic locals and scattered power-ups they discover along the way, the pair embark on a sprawling journey across twenty-five distinct environments to recover the scattered components of their vessel. Reuniting these crucial pieces is their only path back to Funkotron, their peaceful home world, and safety from the constant threats that surround them at every turn.
