Play G.I.Joe Online

G.I. Joe on NES is one of those games that makes you feel like you're actually leading a squad of elite soldiers—if those soldiers occasionally got stuck on pixelated terrain. You pick three Joes from a roster that includes classics like Duke and Snake Eyes, each with their own strengths (though let's be real, everyone picks Snake Eyes first). The levels throw you into Cobra bases where you shoot, dodge, and sometimes hop into weird vehicles like the Buzz Boar—which handles about as well as you'd expect a mechanical boar to.

The real tension comes in the bomb-planting sections, where you're racing against the clock while enemies swarm you. Mess up, and you'll watch your carefully chosen team get whittled down fast. The power-ups help—grabbing K-rations feels like finding gold when your health's low—but some upgrades are sneaky, like the red-flashing icons that give bigger boosts. And yeah, the bosses are all Cobra villains you'd recognize from the toys, though Metal-Head's sprite looks more confused than menacing.

It's got that classic NES mix of clunky charm and "how was this ever fair?" difficulty. You'll memorize passwords just to avoid replaying the early levels.
