Toxic Crusaders

Review

Battle through six levels using punches and a mop to rescue your captured teammates.

Toxic Crusaders for NES was released in 1992 by Bandai. The original game, Toxic Crusaders, was released for NES in 1992, but the franchise originated from the 1991 arcade game? Actually, the original Toxic Crusaders game was released for NES in 1992, and there was also a Genesis version in 1992. However, the earliest commercial release of the original game on any platform is the NES version in 1992? Wait, the arcade game? No, Toxic Crusaders was not an arcade game. The first game was for NES and Genesis in 1992. But the original release year should be 1992 as well. However, the legacy year is 1992, and the original release year is also 1992. But the instruction says original_release_year must be <= release_year. So both 1992. But I need to verify. Actually, Toxic Crusaders was released for NES in 1992, and for Genesis in 1992. The NES version was developed by Tose and published by Bandai. So release_year 1992 is correct. original_release_year is also 1992 because it's the same game? But the original game on any platform: the NES version is the original? There was no earlier version. So original_release_year = 1992. But the legacy year is 1992, so it matches. However, I recall that Toxic Crusaders was also released for Game Boy in 1992. So the earliest release is 1992. So confident true. But wait, the original game might be the arcade game? No, there was no arcade game. So original_release_year = 1992. But the instruction says original_release_year must be <= release_year, so 1992 <= 1992 is fine. So I'll set both to 1992. But is there any earlier release? I think the game was released in 1992 only. So confident true. However, I should double-check: Toxic Crusaders is based on the cartoon, and the NES game was released in 1992. So yes. So final answer: release_year 1992, original_release_year 1992, confident true. But wait, the legacy year is 1992, so it's correct. But the instruction says do not blindly copy legacy year. I have verified. So I'll return that. But note: the original game might be considered the Genesis version? But both are 1992. So it's fine. So I'll output JSON.
