GI Joe is a simple but pretty fun rail shooter. Unlike Space Harrier, you're bound to the ground and can only move left or right; you can aim up and down from there, but you're otherwise stuck aiming forward from the spot you're facing. I kind of wonder why they didn't go the Space Harrier route, since the GI Joes have jetpacks, but it may have gotten too hectic with multiplayer. You can pick up missiles as you continue, which due a lot more damage than your There are three stages, each composed of different areas within them—you're running towards cobra's base, then inside, or through a cave base etc. The sprites are right out of the comics/cartoon and are fun to see, especially the boss sprites.

Konami rail shooter based on G.I. Joe. Run through the stage playing as Duke, Snake Eyes, Scarlett, or Roadblock, with the only difference being shot and reticle design for each character, as you shoot ground and air enemies and blow up most of the set pieces. Simple design with just a move left and right, shot, and rocket attack. Nice vehicle destruction. Gun is unfortunately only rapid fire with a powerup that you lose when hit. Weird that soldiers mainly attack by trying to walk into you.
