A side-scrolling shooting game for the Sega Mega Drive, that was part of the Menacer 6-game compilation cartridge (an obvious and largely dire competitor to the equally useless SNES Super Scope). The game starred Toejam & Earl. The player took the role of Toejam, using the Menacer light gun to fire tomatoes at Earthlings (mostly taken from the first TJ&E game). Shooting whirlwinds would cause them to hurl your fruit back at you. On later levels the game became considerably more difficult and wierd new stuff started to appear (such as flying grandfather clocks). Earl sits at the base of the screen keeping score.

Annoyingly, this game is impossible to find in ROM form and would be useless on most emulators as they fail to support the Menacer (which only had two other games made for it anyway: T2: The Arcade Game and Body Count). I sold my Mega Drive years ago (and using the Menacer requires finding half a dozen AAA batteries for approximately 10 picoseconds of playing time). This really is a shame, because this was one of the best light gun games ever, and I reckon I could probably complete it with a bit of persistence.
