Play Toxic Crusaders on nes Online

I remember picking up Toxic Crusaders for the NES back in 1992, published by Bandai. It was one of those licensed games that came out during the console's later years, trying to cash in on the weird, gross-out humor of the cartoon. The box art was loud and colorful, promising something a little different from the usual platformers and RPGs crowding the rental store shelves.

You control Toxie, the mop-wielding hero, through side-scrolling levels filled with mutants and toxic waste. Your main goal is to rescue your fellow Crusaders from Dr. Killemoff's minions. The gameplay involves straightforward combat; you swing your mop or throw punches at enemies, and occasionally pick up special weapons like a radioactive slingshot. Levels are linear but packed with enemies, requiring constant movement and quick attacks. The difficulty can spike unexpectedly, especially with some cheap enemy placements. It feels chaotic and a little messy, just like the show it's based on.
