G.I. Joe

About

G.I. Joe is a 1992 arcade shooter where up to four players team up as iconic characters from the cartoon series. You control third-person view action figures like Snake Eyes and Scarlett, blasting through levels with guns, grenades, and limited special moves. The gameplay is fast and chaotic, focused on wave after wave of enemy encounters. Co-op play requires coordination since respawns are rare and deaths pause the action. The game stood out for its colorful, cartoonish visuals that matched the source material. It ran smoothly for an arcade title of the era and let players customize loadouts with different weapons per character. While the single player campaign is short, the co-op mode kept players coming back for high scores. Some fans still cite it as one of the better early ’90s arcade conversions of a licensed property.
