What a super-solid NES game. The sprites and portraits are very true to the base material and the gameplay is tight and varied. I love how each Joe is different and needed in different areas. Very similar to the first TMNT game except the enemies are actual GI Joe enemies.

We kept trying to rent it when it first came out for weeks with no luck. One night we were leaving the store and the clerk checks the drop box and held it up "Were you looking for G.I. Joe? Here it is." The youth of today will never know the QUEST! The search for that game or movie over a period of days- sometimes weeks, the hurt of not finding it, and the joy of when it suddenly appears in the drop box!

FYI, the 2 in the right hand corner just above the completed time means that this is his second speed run attempt of this game (pretty durn impressive). The golds/glods are the best (lowest) times he’s ever gotten when completing each level. Those best times then are added up in the “Sum of Best Segments”-this is the best possible run you can get if you put together all the gold splits you have gotten throughout your speed run attempts into a single run (though this number can also be improved). So getting gold all the way down means his Personal Best is his Sum of Best. 👍🏾
