''[=ToeJam=] & Earl'' is a series of video games known mainly for its first entry, released in 1991 on the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Sega Mega Drive/Genesis]], although two more games exist. The first game, with the same name as the series, is an exploration-oriented ActionAdventure game with an overhead perspective and (the option of) randomly-generated [[GameLevel levels]].
The sequels are ''[=ToeJam=] & Earl in Panic on Funkotron'', an extremely different 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 somehow stowed aboard, and are now causing [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Panic on Funkotron]], and ''[=ToeJam=] & Earl III: Mission to Earth'', a three-dimensional PlatformGame released on the Microsoft Xbox in 2002. They were also featured in ''Ready, Aim, Tomatoes!'', a pack-in game with the Genesis's Menacer light-gun peripheral.
A beta of the third game [[http://www.geek.com/games/dreamcast-just-got-a-new-game-and-its-toejam-earl-3-1580775/ was released,]] bearing many more similarities to the first game than the finished product.
In late February 2015, it was announced a new game in the series would be made called ''Back in the Groove'', with Website/{{Kickstarter}} [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1578116861/toejam-and-earl-back-in-the-groove/ funding]] to allow added features, by the game creator Greg Johnson, which as of March 25th has successfully been funded. In August 2016, the development team announced Creator/AdultSwim as a major funding partner. A release date of Fall 2017 was being aimed for, but it eventually had to be pushed back, first into 2018 and later into the first quarter of 2019. It did eventually see release in March of 2019.
