Story Breakdown: ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron (Genesis)

One of the best parts of a video game is the ending, but who has the time to go back and play through every game? Let me introduce you to Game Over: The Early Years, the weekly show where we dive into classic games and spoil both their stories and endings. From the biggest hits to obscure classics, we're taking a look at some of the best and most memorable conclusions in video game history.

Aliens can be scary, friendly and even gross, but no aliens are funkier than ToeJam and Earl, a couple of guys who are about to get Back in the Groove this week with their first sequel in 17 years. To celebrate this long-awaited fourth installment, I wanted to take a look back at some of the duo's previous games. We've already covered the 1991 original, so it's time to shift perspectives and unearth the largely forgotten sequel from 1993. Turn back now if you don't want to know what happens next, because today we're going to spoil the story and ending for ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron on the Sega Genesis. This is Game Over: The Early Years.
