Developed by Realtime Associates and published by Bandai Namco, Toxic Crusaders arrived on the Game Boy in 1992 as a platformer.
It landed about 3 years into the Game Boy's life. Other notable Game Boy releases from 1992 include Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Kirby's Dream Land and Mega Man III.
It is part of the Toxic Crusaders series. The series also appears on other systems with Toxic Crusaders (NES) and Toxic Crusaders (Genesis). Realtime Associates also made Out of Gas, Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and WWF Raw for the Game Boy.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the Game Boy hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Toxic Crusaders is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
