Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Wayne's World
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Gray Matter/TH*Q
RELEASED:         1993
TYPE:             Platform
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          Wayne is just your average overage teenager who lives in
                  Aurora, Illinois (USA) and just happens to run a cable TV
                  show out of the basement of his parent's home.  He and
                  his friend Garth, the show's co-host, were playing the
                  games at Noah's Arcade when they were suddenly sucked
                  inside one and Garth was hauled away by the Purple People
                  Eater.  It's up to a superdeformed Wayne and his acoustic
                  guitar to save his friend from the digital menace.  Can
                  he do it?  Inspired by the short subjects and feature
                  film derived from the NBC television series Saturday
                  Night Live, created by and starring comedian Michael
                  Myers as Wayne and fellow comedian Dana Carvey as Garth.

IMPRESSIONS:      If they had stayed away from the digitized graphics and
                  focused more on the game itself, then this might have
                  been pretty decent.  As it stands, it sucks, and is quite
                  forgettable - ranking right down there with Zantar the
                  Gelatinous Cube.  Go watch the movie instead.

The film was great and now is a little cringeworthy, yet that is a little bit like Abba as you have to reach those depths to rise again in a cult sort of way- the game by the way is a little bit cheesy but has good playability.
