ToeJam and Earl in Panic on Funkotron (Wii)
I’ve never really give this game much time before. I have it for the Megadrive, but having spent five minutes with it and realising it’s a platformer and not a proper sequel to the original, I didn’t play it again. But, apparently, it’s still great. According to lots of people on t’t’t’tinternet anyway. So I bought it. And they’re right. It’s different, but the humour from the original is still there. It is, however, waaaay harder, as I only reached …
ToeJam and Earl (Wii): COMPLETED!
Just squeezing in at the end of the year is this, my 45th completed title of 2006. I got as far as Level 24, and was knocked down accidentally to Level 23, so I decided to keep falling until I reached 17 to see if there was a ship piece I’d missed – and there was. Found that, then dropped all the way to Level 1, used an innertube to swim to the island in the bottom left, dropped to …
ToeJam and Earl (Wii)
Pressed on from Level 7-ish all the way up to Level 20 today. I’m down to three lives (and not a lot of energy), and it’s actually getting quite hard. I’m pretty sure I’ve missed a ship piece on Level 17 too, so I’ll have to drop back down and check at some point. I only have two ship pieces left, though. Can’t remember how many levels there are – 26? 27?
ToeJam and Earl (Wii)
Friday is “New Games on the Wii Virtual Console Day” (rather like Wednesday is “New Games on Xbox Live Arcade Day”), and in today’s batch of new old titles was ToeJam and Earl for the Megadrive. So of course, I bought and downloaded it. And it’s still great, even though I played with the Wii Remote, which really doesn’t work well. The most used button is A, which when you use the remote sideways is next to the d-pad, so …
ToeJam & Earl: Panic on Funkotron (Switch): COMPLETED!
I never got on with this previously. I think the main issue was that it didn’t feel like a proper sequel to the original ToeJam and Earl, which was one of my favourite Mega Drive games. It had the same funk, but it was a totally different experience. Ditching the roguelike trappings of the first game, which was set on Earth (sort of), Panic on Funkotron instead became a platformer set on ToeJam & Earl’s home planet. The Mega Drive …
104 Game Challenge
Just like last year, this year I took part in the RetroCollect 52 Game Challenge. The idea was to complete, uh, 52 games in a single year. Back in June, I successfully became the first person taking part to hit the 52 game barrier. But I wasn’t going to stop there. With the challenge over before the year was half done, I aimed for 104 games. The 104 Game Challenge, if you will. For the less mathematical of my readers, …
