man, you can't imagine how watching this video completely changed my day, very good to see you guys playing in this room again, [it's like I'm watching the first video of mario (rambo mario) again, ten years ago
Love to see James & Mike back in the nerd room playing an old game and talking! Made my day, thanks! Ps, hope to see you guys still doing this type of stuff on occasion when you're 50
It's so awesome to see the team back together again. Mike and James are my favorite UA-cam sites and Twitch channel. It would be so amazing to game with you both.
I DIDN'T REALISE THIS IS NEW! I am so happy you two are together. My smile is off the roof! I literally thought this was old😅. This is from this year 2022. WOW!!!!!!!
You and James are a great duo. It was great to see you guys together again. And I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for all of James and Mike Mondays being released on Blu-Ray, just as James did with AVGN.
James is like his old self around Mike. It's crazy how you two just have that sort of chemistry. I ain't heard an umm all episode. Also wow beating this game is pretty hard imo just due to having no patience as a kid when I would fall multiple levels.
I love watching James and Mike just chilling and playing games. You both should do it more often. You guys made my day. This video made me play Toe Jam and Earl for the first time and other genesis games, thanks to the sega collection. I have been watching you both since early youtube.
I been a constant viewer of cinemassacre since 2009. When the original J&M Monday 'Toe Jam and Earl' episode came out about 4 years later, it instantly became my favourite video on the whole channel. The fact it was 45 minutes long made it feel like christmas to me, time to give the game real focus, time for shit talk, conversations that branches off in random directions mingled in with team work about the current game ("you take that pizza! you need it more! get in the elevator! oh shit the bee's!") I was alone, but yeah it did make me feel like I was hanging out with a friend in my youth again playing co-op. I liked that in general about the show too, some obscure or forgotten games from yesteryear getting a moment in the spotlight decades later, and not some playthrough or speed run, not some quick 5 minute review, Like 2 people chatting throughout the game, a decent 40+ minute video for it Anyway I was really happy to see you go back to this particular game as it was my favourite J&M Monday episode, and when I saw it was double the length of the last one I was thrilled to bits! 😁
Aww this was just really nice to see. James & Mike Mondays were always a favorite of mine, and its nice to see that back again, for however breif amount of time that may be. 👍
Definitely a welcome surprise to wake up too! Keep the great content coming Mike and James! This just makes me so happy to see you two back in the nerd room together. I don’t know if possible but I hope you guys make more content together again soon! Thanks for all the great videos! Hope to see that Top 10 annoying enemies!
Mike Matei I don’t watch a lot of ur content but I’m a big fan. Checked in and saw u did this video w james a few days ago. Glad to see both of u making content together like this again. Always looked foward to all of ur guys content and I especially loved watching james and mike Monday’s. U guys had great chemistry and the videos just chilled me out and made me feel like I was chilling with u. Reminded me of how I used to chyl with my friends. Please bring that type of concern back. keep doing u and enjoy life man, keep up all the content
I decided a few years back that I mainly just want to do live streams. That doesn't mean I still won't do other things here and there. But live streaming is what I enjoy doing the most, so that's what I'm focusing on. For the podcast that I do, the only reason that works is because I discuss the games that I've been playing on my streams. I may still do lets plays, reviews and other types of content on occasion. Just far less often than I used to since my focus is streaming. Hope that makes sense.
@@mikematei Makes sense, Mike. You should always follow your passion, and do what makes you feel happy and fulfilled. I really enjoy your live streams as well, and your commitment to retro gaming. It was just a nice treat to see you guys and your undeniable chemistry on a Monday morning one more time. Speaking of other projects, I'd love to see more of your artwork on the channel! Anyhoo, keep up the great work man!!
James and Mike made me want to pick this up. Made it to the third elevator before just switching to something else. Watching this makes me want to play again.
While not having the name, is like good old James and Mike's Mondays (once again), gotta love how the RNG can screw you (Mike almost survived the last part of the game if it wasn't for the RNG screwed with the food when he needed to recover health) but regardless, congrats on winning the game (around 90% co-op), I hope you can do this again with a TMNT redux (especially since Cowabunga Collection is going to be a thing soon).
"Holy shit, it's the chicken army with the tomato launcher". No other time would those words ever leave your mouth unless you're playing this game. I'd love to try some of the drugs that the developers were on while making this game.
With all the rumors and garbo around them, I am always super excited to see my boys sitting in the nerd room playing together. Not the content we deserve, but the content we want!
James and Mike Monday. Last weekend, I reunited with my cousin to get him into playing D&D with our group, I helped my friend move into his new apartment, AND I was able to clean up a lot of my house. I know its not much by most peoples' standards, but seeing you and James together for this video, however brief it is, validates all my work with a reward, bud. Thanks Mike.
I watched a ton of Tom and Jerry and most or all episodes were from 10-30 years before I was born. I was born in 83. In the 90's I used to always watch Happy Days after school.
This great, feels classic and has the playing games with a bud vibe. I would love to see more couch co-op play (is once a month too much to ask?) Great vid!
Toejames & Mike! Haha. TJ&E is still my #1 very favorite game of all time, for a 91 release, it was just way ahead of its time. Two player, randomly generated world, split-screen. With an iconic soundtrack and so many items & enemies. I think about...last year, maybe X-mas, my buddy got a Genesis mini, and on our second 2 player, random world attempt, we played so coordinated and well, it felt like we flew through the game! Such a good experience, no matter how many players. Now, Im one of those weirdos that kind of prefers Panic on Funkotron because of its even better soundtrack, and crazy parallax background...and overall graphcs, really...and I think Back in the Groove is just a downright improvement on the original; now, some people may have overlooked it because of the art style, but its literally og TJ&E with elements from Panic on Funkotron and TJ&E3(og Xbox), as well as original content, and not only that, it takes most of the enemies from TJ&E, and gives them an even stronger counterpart, like the black phantom ice-cream truck that constantly drops old cabbage on the ground. Mr Culkin really did wonder with that game! I was never around for TJ&E3, but I hear mixed results, and wouldnt mind trying that too one day. As a series, TJ&E really is amazing, highly recommended. Tmv~
Mike you need to comeback more. I like that your videos are different now and not always the same but you 2 working together give off a certain vibe and it's fun
We will do another at some point. But as I am mainly streaming, these will only be from here and there. If you missed it, we did another one a few months ago. Two-player contra.
It was just great seeing you guys together again in a video and it encouraged me to call a old friend of mine that I stopped talking some time ago. It was great and we realized that there was no reason at all to stop talk to each other and we couldn't even remember the reason why we did it. We were just being stupid after all. 😂
Oh, "Last Blood"! Rambo's final hurrah. And what a hurrah it is! As for the girl dying, well it's The Punisher Trope. She kinda _had_ to die for Rambo to go into Rage Mode. It's like 'They took my family. I will take their lives.'
They're back together! I've missed James and Mike Mondays!
Even if this is just a one-off, I'm very grateful! Thanks, guys!
👏👏👏👏
They did Contra a few months ago. They said they'll continue to do these once in a while.

Even if they only play games together once or twice a year, I'm all for it. It's great to see how excited everyone is.
this is awesome ! 😀😀
Yeees !
It's magical.
Man I’ve missed videos like this. Seeing you two together again puts a smile on my face.
Same name?
@@harperfunderburg Harper is my surname 😎
@@Harperlarp Damn! So close!
It's awesome to see you guys playing Toejam & Earl together for really long time.

We are already almost 50
@@mikematei Gaming will forever be with us. I am turning 33 this year and still in love with it.
@@mikematei Is this really true? Like .. really? :O
It's so awesome to see the team back together again. Mike and James are my favorite UA-cam sites and Twitch channel. It would be so amazing to game with you both.
Mike, you have no idea how happy this makes me. Thank you for coming together (at least for one video). Please do more.
THIS IS WHAT WE NEED love to see the dynamic duo back together
I missed this so much. 🥲
YEESS! I miss Mondays 😊! Love you dudes!!!
Earl is slower but he has a bigger life bar
Well said, TJ
I DIDN'T REALISE THIS IS NEW! I am so happy you two are together. My smile is off the roof! I literally thought this was old😅. This is from this year 2022. WOW!!!!!!!
Omg it’s so cool to have the both of you back together!
I needed James and Mike back in my Monday.
Awesome upload! Good to see you guys colabing again! Love T & E! Brings back good memories of being a kid.
The best Cinemassacre video in years and it’s not even on Cinemassacre
You and James are a great duo. It was great to see you guys together again. And I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for all of James and Mike Mondays being released on Blu-Ray, just as James did with AVGN.

Whatever the opposite of click-bait is what this video title is. Great to see y'all back together having fun.
Nice to see Mike and James in the same room together again. Could be a nice once in awhile treat for fans. Thank you both
It’s always great seeing you two together ❤️❤️❤️
You guys are the best! So glad to see you back doing this! It fills my heart with joy!
Hell yeah! Been watching a lot of old James and Mike Mondays lately, so I'm glad they made a second one of these!

Two of my favorite humans back in the same room together! 😍😍
So fucking happy to see you two fools together again. Miss this shit.
Loved Six Million Dollar Man as I grew up watching the reruns

When Mike said ,"Oh! Pulled your controller out!", my heart sunk. I remember that happening when I'd play a competitive game against a sore loser...
If only it were logistically possible to make this a regular series again. Even once a month would be awesome. Still, this was a treat. Thanks fellas!

I do some drawing during my streams. My last stream, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, I did some drawings for the chat live.
@@mikematei Sweet, I'll check out that stream! Always a fan of your artwork. Btw, that TMNT intro on Mario Paint still blows my mind 🐢🤯
Classic nick at night. I loved get smart. Also glad to see you guys playing together again!
I always remember watching Get Smart reruns on Nick At Night when I was like 6 years old and really liking it. Haven't seen it since.
Always a treat to see a James and Mike video.
James and Mike made me want to pick this up. Made it to the third elevator before just switching to something else. Watching this makes me want to play again.

Great video guys! I really miss James and Mike Mondays, so this was awesome to see
So many thanks Mike, we needed this!!
Please Please Please resurrect James & Mike Mondays! Missed these videos so much!

Fantastic I'm so happy to see this. Too awesome. Welcome back time moves so fast
epic reunion of an epic duo, this feels like if we got a Lethal Weapon 5
This is awesome. Missed you guys playing games together and just hanging out. Good stuff hope to see many more mondays
Loves you guys together. Keep posting entertainment that rocks!
We need more of this!
With all the rumors and garbo around them, I am always super excited to see my boys sitting in the nerd room playing together. Not the content we deserve, but the content we want!
James and Mike Monday.

Duuuuude!!! This brings back a smile to my face
I watched a ton of Tom and Jerry and most or all episodes were from 10-30 years before I was born. I was born in 83.
In the 90's I used to always watch Happy Days after school.
Feels like James and Mike Mondays and today is Monday.
Warms my heart😢 Love you guys
Im glad to see you 2 playing games together again. :)
The 2 of u together is what we all want!
So great that you guys are still playing games ❤️ ❤️ Miss James and Mike Mondays
Good to see another James and Mike episode!
This great, feels classic and has the playing games with a bud vibe. I would love to see more couch co-op play (is once a month too much to ask?) Great vid!
Great seeing you both together for a special video. 🙂

The good old days. Thanks guys. HYAHHH

James waking up.... finally.. back to basics
25 random levels , enemies placements , enemies killed , items collection or not.
all stored to memory. Kind of Impressive , really.
This make me happy to see you both together😁😁😁
Fuck yeah man, Toejam and Earl was my favorite episode!
The Stooges had the Ice block, Laurel and Hardy had the piano. Love Jack Benny!
Aw man, please bring back James & Mike Mondays!
Wow - I can’t believe you guys actually beat it. Nice work!
Spoiler alert
That was awesome. WTG James
This was really enjoyable, just like old times
James escaped from his Psycho Wife for 90 minutes!
Opera singer costs 3 bucks but kills all onscreen enemies.. very useful in later levels.
I hope James brings him back more for avgn
Damn I miss James & Mike Monday's!
This is the most tense let's play ever haha
I really hope they keep this up.
We will do another at some point. But as I am mainly streaming, these will only be from here and there. If you missed it, we did another one a few months ago. Two-player contra.
A good strat for this game is to open random presents for the first 10 levels or so. The rest of the levels use identified ones.
It was just great seeing you guys together again in a video and it encouraged me to call a old friend of mine that I stopped talking some time ago. It was great and we realized that there was no reason at all to stop talk to each other and we couldn't even remember the reason why we did it. We were just being stupid after all. 😂
