G.I. Joe
特种部队
G.I. Joe is a side-scrolling action game released in 1992 by Konami for arcades. Based on the popular Hasbro toy and cartoon franchise, the game supports up to three players simultaneously, each choosing from a roster of G.I. Joe characters including Duke, Snake Eyes, and Scarlett. Players run, jump, and shoot through multiple stages, battling waves of Cobra enemies and large bosses. Each character carries a primary firearm with unlimited ammo and can collect power-ups dropped by enemies. The game uses an eight-way joystick and two buttons for shooting and jumping. Levels vary in setting, including urban environments and enemy bases, ending with boss encounters. The arcade cabinet's cooperative multiplayer is a central feature.
