As much as I loved Sega and the Genesis as a whole, I never played any of the Toejam & Earl games, I was on a limited budget around this time and side jobs for a high schooler were few and far between (I mainly got work during the summer at a nearby farm, bailing and stacking hay). Some interesting titles had to slip between the cracks for me and Toejam & Earl was one of them.

I always thought it looked interesting but I just never pulled the trigger to buy a copy. That has left me admiring the game from afar for decades, wondering if I made the right choice picking up a couple of used games instead of Toejam & Earl brand new (never seeing it for sale used should have been a tip off that no one was trading it in so it had to be a good game).
