Toxic Crusaders (1992 video game)
Toxic Crusaders refers to a series of side-scrolling, beat 'em up, shoot 'em up platform video games based on the American cartoon series Toxic Crusaders (1991), and Troma Entertainment's 1984 film The Toxic Avenger. The games were developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy and Sega Genesis, respectively by TOSE, Realtime Associates, and Infogrames, and released in 1992. Bandai released the NES and Game Boy games, while Sega handled the Genesis game. A Super NES version was planned by Bandai around at the same time with the NES and Game Boy versions but it was never released for unknown reasons. The Game Boy version is a rare collector's item, fetching prices of up to US$500 on auction sites for a complete copy. On April 30, 2013, Lloyd Kaufman, the director of the film that the game was based on, appeared on an episode of Angry Video Game Nerd, reviewing the various Toxic Crusaders game releases. A new Toxic Crusaders game, unrelated to the 1992 releases, is scheduled for release in 2023. References
