      I only saw this in person once, in Atlantic City a
      When my Dad dropped me off in the arcade with $20 while he and my brother went to play blackjack. I think spent $15 of it on Gi Joe.

      I've never heard of this game. My arcades weren't cool enough I guess

      I'd forgotten about this. Total ape of Space Harrier, but you can't go up. It didn't hold my interest after the 3rd stage.

      Never heard of it either, but I did have the Commodore 64 GI Joe game, which had crazy long load times but a much bigger selection of characters you could use.

      Two basic gameplay modes, a top-down shooter where you drive a tank or a helicopter. And then the character VS. character scenarios where the Joes meet Cobra at snow, desert, street, and Cobra Command kocations.

      (And it was hard as hell).

      Snake Eyes would never say "yo Joe" , or anything else.
