ToeJam & Earl was later considered a "cult" success.[13]

Mean Machines found the game addictive and original, but found fault with its slow-paced combat.[4] One of the reviewers said, "Not everyone will like it�it's not normal enough for mass appeal�but I think it's destined to become a massive cult classic".[4] GamePro called the game's originality "incredible", and praised its graphics, music and humor.[17] Entertainment Weekly praised the "absolutely hilarious" sound effects and music.[18] Jeff Csatari of Boys' Life called it a "another hot game" for the Mega Drive, alongside Sonic the Hedgehog.[19] Ed Martinez of Game Informer commended the game's soundtrack and unique concept, but found it to be too easy.[20] A review published in both the Chicago Tribune and Rome News-Tribune likened ToeJam and Earl to "an outer-space, rap version of Abbott and Costello". The reviewers called it "the funniest game we've seen in a long time", and praised its soundtrack, graphics and action.[5][21] The Toronto Star acclaimed the game's "hilariously designed split-screen two-player mode", and said, "If you've got a Sega-Genesis system, you simply must check out [this] awesome rap 'n' roll game".[22] Sega Visions praised the game's "no-repetitive action" and said, "This is the zaniest game that ever rocked Sega's Genesis system."[23] Several months after the game's release, Mega ranked it the 13th best Mega Drive game in its All-Time Top 100 feature. The magazine praised the game's "superbly manic and zany action", and deemed it both "original and insane".[24]

ToeJam & Earl was re-released on the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console in 2006.[9] Official Nintendo Magazine scored the game 85%, and praised its humor, originality and two-player mode. However, the reviewer believed that the game's enjoyability had diminished with time.[25] GameSpot felt that the game's 1990s idioms were dated, but that the gameplay�particularly the two-player mode�was still enjoyable by modern standards.[9] Jeremy Parish of 1UP found the game's two-player co-operative mode more enjoyable than its single-player, and described the graphics and sound as "oddly primitive". Parish considered it "one of the best games to hit VC to date".[12] Eurogamer's reviewer negatively received the game, and believed its gameplay to be unsatisfying and overly slow.[3] IGN called the game's visuals a "mixed bag" and derided the slow pace, but praised its unpredictability and believed that its sound design was "one thing you absolutely can't fault"
ToeJam and Earl became "one of Sega's second tier mascots, alongside Sonic",[27] and one of the Mega Drive's "key exclusive franchises".[28] The characters appeared in a spin-off light gun game, Ready, Aim, Tomatoes, developed by Johnson Voorsanger Productions as one of six mini-games for the Menacer 6-game cartridge.[1] In early 1992, the developers began work on a sequel to ToeJam & Earl, and spent three months expanding on the original game's concept by adding indoor areas and more terrain types.[1] Sega was not impressed by the sequel, and believed it to be unmarketable. The team redesigned it as a platform game, as Sega was inclined to publish games in this genre.[1][13] The game, entitled ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, was highly anticipated, and was a commercial and cri. perceived generic style.[1] Due to poor North American sales of the Sega Saturn, Sega's next generation video game console, the ToeJam & Earl franchise was neglected. A ToeJam & Earl game planned for the Nintendo 64 was cancelled, but a third installment, ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth, was released for the Xbox in 2002. The release returned to the concepts of the original game, but generated mixed reviews and poor sales.
ToeJam & Earl has been called "weird",[9] "strange",[4][12] and "thoroughly odd".[3] Critics have difficulty in determining a genre for the game;[1] it has been called a platform game and Roguelike,[4][10] as well as action and action-adventure.[9][26] While ToeJam & Earl's success did not match that of the Mega Drive's other popular titles, it has been considered a "classic",[9][2] and a "cult" game.[13][16] Prior ToeJam & Earl III's conception, research by its developers found that the original ToeJam & Earl was preferred over its sequel.[29] In an IGN survey, 65% of respondents cited it as their favorite of the three games.[30] The game was set to be re-released on Xbox Live Arcade after winning a poll arranged by Sega,[31] but this is uncertain because Greg Johnson owns the rights to the characters rather than Sega. The notion of a ToeJam & Earl game for the Nintendo DS failed to generate interest from publishers, but Johnson has reiterated the

Rogue is a dungeon crawling video game first developed by Michael Toy and Glenn Wichman. It is generally credited with being the first "graphical" adventure game,[1] and was a favorite on college Unix systems in the early to mid-1980s,[2] in part due to the procedural generation of game content.[3] Rogue popularized dungeon crawling as a video game trope, leading others to develop a class of derivatives known collectively as "roguelikes". For example, it directly inspired Hack,[4][5] which in turn led to NetHack.[6] Roguelikes have since influenced commercial games outside the genre, such as Diablo.[7]
