- A playthrough of Taxan's 1991 license-based run-and-gun shooter for the NES, G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero.
This video shows the entire first loop of the game. The ending changes slightly when you beat it a second and third time, so I included those endings directly after the first.
Since it's the fourth of July today, I figured a game to suit the holiday would be appropriate, and what could be more appropriate than a game bearing the subtitle, "A Real American Hero"? If you're old enough to remember it, just try to read that title without instantly flashing back to the cartoon's theme song.
G.I. Joe was released by Taxan, who was always a bit of an underdog despite the amazing quality of their NES games - well, at least those released after 1989 - Taxan's earlier titles aren't really worth talking about. But once they start publishing games developed by KID, like 8 Eyes, Burai Fighter, Low G. Man, Kick Master, and Magician - they had a line of superstars on hand! How many of you guys remember that message from Ken Lobb buried in those games' endings, goading you to play it again to prove you're a master?
G.I. Joe is (surprise!) a run-and-gun shooter that gives you control of Duke, Snake Eyes, Blizzard, Cpt. Grid-Iron, Rock 'n Roll, and Hawk through six different areas in their fight against the Cobra commander. The game play will instantly be familiar to fans of Low G. Man and Kick Master: the controls, jumping physics, and graphics/music style are all quite similar between the games. That is to say, just about everything about this game rocks.
You level up each character over the course of the game to give him health and weapon improvements, and the choices you make provide a neat way to change the game up between each playthrough. The game has a good amount of variety to it. In addition to the differences between characters, you get ride around all sorts of fun vehicles that can blow stuff up, and the levels switch up the formula fairly often: the first area of a stage is always a "left-to-run while holding the B button" type of affair, while the second area will be an open area that you have to search for the spots to place the explosives. After successfully completing both of those areas, you get to face off against one of the bosses before moving on to the next place to repeat the cycle.
I really loved G.I. Joe as a kid, and the game always felt me feel like I was playing out the action from the cartoon. It's still amazing now.
If you're searching for an NES-style way to celebrate the birth of the world's most powerful nation, you could do a whole lot worse than G.I. Joe!

I had this as a kid as I was a G.I. Joe fanatic. I like how each Joe had a specialty- Duke's weapon had the widest spread, Blizzard could fire through walls (came in handy in later levels), Snake Eyes had his sword and his weapon didn't consume ammo, Captain Gird-Iron could take the most damage, Rock N Roll's weapon was the most powerful and General Hawk had his rocket pack. Plus fans of the toys, cartoon and comic could easily identify the enemies such as Alley Vipers, Rock Vipers, Night Creepers and even Cobra-La Royal Guardsmen. You can tell the bosses off the bat. They did a hell of a job being faithful to the source material and this game is an overlooked gem.
I never knew about Blizzard’s weapon specialty
Fun fact the Blizzard action figures sold so badly that they ended up carnival prizes
For only being 8 bit, this game looked and played pretty good too.
If you are looking for an NES-style way to celebrate the birth of the world's most powerful nation, I've got two words for you:
YO JOE!
Wouldn't that be Werewolf: The Last Warrior instead? :D This made me remember the truly amazing ending that game had; another great candidate would be Bad Dudes, of course. What screams "American" more than eating a burger with the prez himself? ;)
Marius Amber True. Or, you know, Captain America :) I guess the NES just loves America. It should for what the territory did for its sales.
NintendoComplete YO JOE!!!!
@@NintendoComplete have you played Capcom's 1992 edition (sequel, I know.) of this game?
and now we got a Joe in office as bonus!!
I love the g.i. joe nes games. After watching this I'm going to play them tonight! Thanks for the upload!
You should join the army after watching these
This game is absolutely brutal near the end. Having to plant 8 bombs while those insufferable missle launching wire soldiers constantly blast you is the worse. That topped with the horrible hit detection during the cobra fight makes it that much worse.
Very memorable game! A favorite! Taxan had some gems. :)
This is my nostalgia Game 😊 when I was kid
I remember you could always cheese the aircraft fight in Antarctica by standing in one spot and throwing grenades above you
What a lot of people didn't know back then is if you destroy the portion of the ceiling right above the DANGER sign during the stage 2-2 fight, a usable Buzz Boar would fall from it.
haha Watching you fight Destro almost gave me a stroke. You were just catching those edges there, man. Takes me back to when I used to play this as a kid. I'm going to bust it out tonight.
i loved this game back in the day! not sure there were a lot of good taxan games. but this was pretty great.
Well, this one was from KID, both NES games were from them. Seems Taxan, or Naxat, picked up other companies games, and released them for them.
"Yo, Joe!" is a familiar yell to those that observe Saturday morning television with any regularity or have younger siblings that run about screaming toy weapons. Taxan's G.I. Joe cart is based on upon the cartoon series that has been running for some time now.
I never played this game as a kid but I just recently discovered it on my retropie. It’s pretty challenging and fun.
É o melhor jogo de todos. Saudades. Parabéns ao jogador.
This was definitely cool to see. I actually have the old issue of Nintendo Power that covers this game, but it was never one I had a chance to pick up. It looked like a lot of fun, and I love the music when you pick up a vehicle. That said though, I felt bad for poor Blizzard. The guy never got a chance to show what he could do.
Seeing this again makes me feel like a kid again
all those vehicles were actual toys too
43:57 Golobulus from G.I.Joe: The Movie. "The last sound you will hear is the cracking of your vertebrae one by one!!"
Go, Joe!! ^^ Oh, man, there's no better way to celebrate my 2nd favorite country than this!!
Happy forth of July to my southern neibours. I'm a huge Snake Eyes fan
i loved this game pity storm shadow was not in it but snake eyes was :)
Storm Shadow was in GI Joe: The Alantis Factor.
Rock & roll and snake eyes were always my favorites
Cool music!
12:20 If you shoot straight up at the DANGER sign a Buzz Boar will drop down to help you even the odds.
No kidding? I had no idea, thanks!
You're welcome. :-)
Glad someone know this secret
Wow, such a neat game but unfortunately I never played it 😲 Have an awesome 4th of July dude! 🇺🇸 👋👽👍
You too man
Have you played the Capcom game Atlantis Factor? I did and it was to me, AMAZING! Surprise, the same development team KID, who also made this incredible game, also made that other game! (:
Both are great but I honestly like this one better over Atlantis factor. Each character has unique rifles, have more life, characters can SHOOT UP, and they have visible stats.
The unique abilities for each character and multiple weapons in Atlantis factor somehow feels like it is not enough to improve the gameplay over this one.
Have you ever played Konamis arcade G.I Joe game? It's pretty great
Octopuswithcorn there was an arcade game too? Cool
Yeah, it's amazing. We had it next to pool tables in one of our school lunchrooms, sometime around 94-95 lol. Damn it's been a long time since I thought about that!
Ever played the old pc games? Those were also cool. There were vehicle and 1 on 1 battles.
55:39 Easter Egg / nod to the DIC G.I.Joe miniseries where Cobra Commander was restored to human form by the mystical Dragonfire after the events of G.I. Joe The Movie.
Rock & Roll maxed out was legit.
No Sgt. Slaughter, Quick Kick, Shipwreck, Alpine, Mainframe, Roadblock, Flint, Lady Jaye, Cross Country, Sci-Fi, Deep 6, Bazooka, Beach-head, Gung-Ho, Wet Suit, Lift-Ticket, Mutt, Low-Light, or Wild Bill?
Not even Steeler, Tripwire, & Breaker?
You play Hawk for the final stage
David Samuel Blain Half of Those would have been hard to implement, or just was too hard for an nes to handle a large roster, someone could always make a new gi Joe game.
The closest thing in the olden days you could get with a decent-sized roster was the GI Joe game for the Commodore 64.
David Samuel Blain how could you forget stormshadow. Shame....
This game was made in 1990 and the characters in it were based on action figures that were released in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Duke is wearing his Tiger Force uniform from 1988. Snake Eyes and Rock & Roll look like their 1989 redesigns. Blizzard was released in 1988. Capt. Grid-Iron was released in 1990. Hawk's outfit resembles the one worn by his 1991 figure. Hasbro probably wanted the game to promote newer toys instead of featuring older characters whose figures were no longer available in stores.
One of use best nes game
Great graphics for the era
YO JOE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i had an old nintendo power for this game .... man i feel old now lol
Range Viper was a disgrace to his Classified figure counterpart
I always wondered why there had to be people on raised platforms watching the giant screen in the control room.
Snake Eyes is throwing a Hadouken!
For the real ending, do you need complete this game 3 times
3rd lap of this game is really a hard difficult
FortunaChan Yeah, you get a special congratulations screen. I included it at the end.
👍
Recuerdaso😊😊😊
Como lo puedo bajar en play story buen juego soy de perú
Flying a helicopter indoors through narrow corridors? Seems legit.
1:00:45 I remember ! I completed this game 3x !
Yo Joe! I've beaten it on emulation (the first two quests, but not the third), but I've yet to win on the legit hardware.
GI Joe: The Atlantis Factor was the better of the 2 GI Joe games on NES.
Wish this was on Sega Genesis
Do you plan on doing the sequel to this game next year?
I'll definitely be uploading it at some point.
NintendoComplete thanks
I can't wait - The Atlantis Factor is pretty damn awesome!
vgaoct91 what is the difference between the 2 NES games? Sorry but I never played the GI Joe games when I had the nes back in the day!
bill johnson I don’t think he will do that! He does console games! Not arcade stuff.
You never grabbed the helicopter/plane at 6min mark with snake eyes...
AVGN was supposed to do an Episode on these games
But they were not shitty enough

If only the recent "The Rise Of Cobra" movie-based game was about as good as this Game, the Capcom one, or the arcade game.
