Play G.I. Joe - A Real American Hero Online
Pick 3 G.I. Joe soldiers, fight through side-scrolling levels, and navigate maze-like missions to plant bombs. Starts simple, gets brutal fast.
I remember picking up G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero for the NES back in 1991. It was developed by KID and published by Taxan, and it felt like a solid attempt to bring the action figure line and cartoon to the console. At the time, side-scrollers were everywhere, but this one had a specific military team vibe that set it apart from the usual platformers.
You control a squad of three Joes, switching between them on the fly as you move through levels. Each character has a unique weapon, like Duke's rifle or Snake Eyes' sword, and you use them to clear rooms of Cobra troops. The main goal is to navigate these maze-like bases, find the exit, and often plant explosives before a timer runs out. The pacing is relentless; enemies pour in from both sides, and the screen-by-screen exploration means you never know what's waiting. It feels tense and chaotic, like you're barely holding the line against an overwhelming force.
