G.I. Joe Arcade - 4 players Playthrough [1/3]

[MasterZebulin]

It's like the Jurassic Park arcade, but with a shit ton of more explosions!

[Mr523cbg]

some of the game reminds me of the 1990's g.i.joe cartoon

[NashTheBlade]

Typical Dumbass Question: I know Tomax and Xamot were the first bosses obviously, but who was the 2nd one...It couldn't be Destro or could it, but could it be Major Bludd instead?

[Nz0x]

I believe his name is Metal Head.

[SincereAgape]

@Nz0x Yep. It was Metal Head. In the ladder stages of the cartoon he was a comic relief villain.

[MrNicMachiavelli]

Dude, these graphics are the best I have ever seen, even better than my nintendo! Probably even better than the Super Nintendo will be!

[adie84esp]

its crowded -_-

[AmbassadorJediSpock]

This is based off the 90's G.I. Joe cartoon, the whole "Got to get tough, Yo Joe!" is from the 90's intro. But both the 80's and 90's cartoon never said why Snake Eyes never spoke

[Warblefly41]

why do the four players start with less than 3 lives

[AntiBrock]

so much blue and explosion...

[kisser83]

Snakeyes saying yo joe. He never spoke

[adie84esp]

@kisser83

it is a hawk who was dressed like a snake eyes

[txrich80]

LMAO!!!! did yall see that?! Even in a video game, the black dude dies first. You just cant catch a break :p

[Bigman2326]

One of my favorite childhood memories was to go with your friends on a saturday to the arcade with a pocket full of quarters and playing 4player arcade games. Good times

[FlameAdder]

Tsk. Snake Eyes shouldn't say anything.

[kmayo05]

Another classic game! YO JOE!

[whatznewimbord]

thumps up if you played this game in chuckEcheese

[kmayo05]

@whatznewimbord YO JOE!

[hawwy1987]

I thought knowing was half the battle! Not getting people to run and fire at explosive enemies!

[lostinseganet]

Man the joes never killed like this in the cartoon. I like it.

[funh3ll]

This was one of my favorite video arcade games, sooo much fun. I wish I had this one my playstation lol.

[jsinh5kw]

The music with the first stage and four players - this is how the movie should have been.

[shinugami333]

COBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[ChicoEdge]

These four troops are so badass that they can jog in a straight line and take out an entire army! Oh well, at least you can actually kill the Cobra soldiers who always managed to escape death in the cartoon...

[pachinko1972]

iPhone port would kick ass.

[freddypickle]

Are the four characters different at all? Do they shoot different or something?

[Nz0x]

The crosshairs are really the only difference between each char. That and the color of their bullets.

[LezardMan002]

so you that means that you can play favorites?

kewl then i will take snake eyes

[THEBURNINGPUNCHX]

gameplay similar to contra somewhat

[freakyfornash]

This game kicks ass, and I have it for the arcade, as I have the PCB to it to use in my Jamma cabinet. It's too bad that it never got ported though, and it probably ever won't either, due to annoying licensing issues, and all.

[daytimesky]

You playing this online using Kaillera, or do you know the people you're playing with in person?

[Nz0x]

Both actually.

[daytimesky]

@Nz0x I can't help but envy that. So that's how you're able to set it up.

[Nz0x]

Nah, don't be envious...its just a matter of being lucky really. These are the only people that are willing to play the type of games I play, and it was just something to sorta remember by really. Usually online everyone plays nothing but fighting games and stuff, so its VERY RARE to find anyone now these days that is willing to play tons of these types of games, so its my way of saying thanks to them by recording.

[powerkeep]

me and a friend, about ten years ago, spent over 15$, like all of our tokens at chuck E cheese, just to beat the game. It was fricken hard!

[CrimsonGuardJay]

This would have been just as awesome if it was made in 1986 (with the 16 bit graphics and sound) and featured all the 1985/1986 cobra troops and vehicles...

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

If I ever played this game, I'd have to go with Snake Eyes.

[PresidentBagel]

I'd be all over a next gen remake of this like a fat man at a buffet.

[figment1988]

one thing that most people might notice is that unlike the cartoons, the bullets actually hit.

[allstar720]

I wasn't a gamer in high school but I spent many days of my senior year skipping school and playing this game with my friends at the mall.

[ghostface888]

@allstar720 good times bro...damn good times.

[Richterbelmont365]

YO JOE

YO JOE

YO

YO JOE

[bryanmej]

g.i joe rocks

[alfok]

OMFG!! HUNDREDS OF ENEMIES AND ONLY FEW BULLETS!!! cobra's money is not enough

[CineRecon]

the grunts and moans sound like dudes having violent climaxes

[Gamelvl84]

Hey GI: This is the plan, first you infliltrat..

GI Joe: Never mind guys, we all attack at once!

"but thats crazy?"

GI Joe: Lets attack, and do not spread around, either we win, or ONE fucking bullet kills us all!

And who would refuse to follow his orders...

Fun part is that I watched this thing every single day during my childhood, but I officially remember NOTHING about GI now...

But I somewhat know I still like it, (and hate the movie, without having watched it)

[Gamelvl84]

No idea who the red-head is, but she sure has a nice butt!

(the guy that made transformers 1 and 2 should have been killed before he reached to mutilate the GI`s)

[Wisebrother78]

The red head is Scarlett...

[THEARIESGAMER]

What game consoles is this game for ?.

[Nz0x]

This is for the arcade, ran off of a program for the P.C. that allows you to play arcade and other console based games.

[TakkatoDarkGamer]

YO JOE

[BrentUMD]

lol i fell in love with this at the arcade in 1992.

[internetotaku]

Four players seems almost unfair to the computer enemies o.o

[TruDru1978]

G.I. Joe The Movie in Theatres soon, and I hope the put Sigma 6 back on the Air, or at least update the G.I. Joe Series.

[raymkkkk]

you and me both i actually liked the sigma 6 show

[TruDru1978]

G.I Joe Extreme Sucked though.

[ColorsBright]

How the f*ck is ROADBLOCK NOT IN THE MOVIE.. TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!

Wheres Lady Jay?

[TruDru1978]

I agree with everything u said did u know that those 2 are the most forgotten characters in the series, but Redhead Scarlett, and the others they seem to remember greatly which is why the original did it the best!!

[CruiseCntr]

2 players, maybe. But 4 is out of controL!

[Duvmasta]

Man,. they should release this on the Wii. That would be so awesome! I mean, using the wiimote to aim and shoot, whilst using the nunchuck to move! Man,. O Man!

[Bulletproofninja09]

The days hell came to Cobra lol

[heardofrvb]

I love how things get crazy in 3 or 4 players.

[termiblaster]

what version of mame do you use?, ´cause the version i have crashes when i try to go through the elevator

[Nz0x]

I use many different versions. For this game in particular, i used mame32 0.64, it was the only one i could find that supported a 4 player G.I. Joe game.

[manuntd2009]

yeah i had the same problem man you ever get it fixed i thought it was the rom.

[Nz0x]

When you load the game, at the start, press the F2 button and it will take you the options menu, go to game options and turn loop settings to end the game at the final stage. This is the best idea i think that there is as far as the upgraded version of mame( as in 0.117, 0.129 etc etc). Versions like 0.64 can run the game throughout with no problems.

[manuntd2009]

great thanks man i have MAME+ v.0.117.0.0 i will just upgrade i hope they still have the + version looked cooler.

[chrisgamefan]

Good playthroughs. These are ok, i just dont care for this one or the Moonwalker one. I used to have them on my emulator but i took them off.

[Pooper724]

This game is awesome!
