''[=ToeJam=] & Earl'' is a series of video games known mainly for the titular first entry, released in 1991 on the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Sega Mega Drive/Genesis]]. The first game is an exploration-oriented ActionAdventure game with an overhead perspective and (the option of) randomly-generated [[GameLevel levels]], giving it a {{roguelike}} feel.
The sequels include ''[=ToeJam=] & Earl in Panic on Funkotron'', a two-dimensional PlatformGame released on the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1993, where the duo has made it back home, only to find that several Earthlings have stowed onboard, and are now causing [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Panic on Funkotron]]. ''[=ToeJam=] & Earl III: Mission to Earth'' was a three-dimensional platformer released on Microsoft's UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} in 2002 (the game had been intended for the UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast, but after Sega went third-party, it was ported over to the Xbox as part of Sega's quasi-alliance with them at the time). [=ToeJam=] and Earl were also featured in ''Ready, Aim, Tomatoes!'', a pack-in game with the Genesis's Menacer light-gun peripheral.
