Konami, for a bit in the 90's, was one of the members of retrogaming arcade game royalty...they seriously could do no wrong! The Simpsons Arcade, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...you name it, they nailed it! But what about G.I. Joe? A game that ISNT a beat em up?

Hello and welcome to "The Unported Playlist"

So we decided to extend this playlist from 10 games to does it even matter what the count is anymore? lol it's a lot! But doesn't retro gaming deserve it?

On this episode of Unported Playlist we are taking a look at GI Joe by Konami. It's a legit amazing pseudo 3D run and gun game for the arcades and has some awesome super scaler style graphics ala Sega and their System 16 / System 32 boards. It's definitely a more obscure game compared to the rest of what Konami did...but that doesn't mean its now awesome! No surprise...they did make Contra after all!

It’s like OutRun except with GI Joe lol

Played via MAME, which has a few emulation issues. Been looking for an original arcade PCB for this for awhile now!

Questions? Comments? Just leave them below and I will do my best to answer each and every one of them!
