Toe Jam & Earl is one of those weird, wonderful Genesis games that just oozes personality. You play as two aliens—one tall and lanky, the other round and bouncy—who crash-landed on Earth (which, according to them, is the least funky place imaginable). The goal? Scramble around randomly generated islands collecting pieces of your wrecked spaceship while dodging humans doing aggressively normal things like mowing lawns or selling lemonade.

It’s part roguelike, part chaotic co-op mess—especially if you play with a friend. The presents you find can be lifesavers (jet shoes!) or total disasters (instant tornadoes, because why not). The first time I played, I accidentally opened one that summoned a horde of nerds, and honestly? That’s the vibe.

The soundtrack slaps, the humor’s dumb in the best way, and no two runs feel the same. Just watch out for the boogeyman. He’s rude.
