newfiebangaa plays G.I. Joe (Arcade) - Part 2 of 4


It's time to take down Cobra's weapons plant and bring an end to their ICBMs! Yo Joe!

Level 3: Cobra's Weapons Plant


During this level, you'll be on an elevator. You'll have a lot of flying enemies around here, and you'll get the occasional Cobra Commando and the guy with a laser cannon strapped to his back.

Be prepared to lose some lives and spend some quarters here, as it's harder to avoid some of the firepower around here.

The boss here is the Cobra Intelligence Officer...The Baroness! She'll jump in the plane and take off. She sends not only her flunkies at you, but also robots. The green ones just move around and try to run into you, but the red ones can shoot. Take as many enemies down as you can, and avoid all the bombs that get tossed. When the planes shows up, clip the wings. Using your bombs on the wings works well, as you'll get some substantial damage in.

For the second part of the battle, shoot down the plane while avoiding both the machines guns at the sides as well as the Baroness's gunfire. If you can get some shots on the Baroness, you can stop her from attacking for a little while.

Once you take down the plane, the first mission is complete!

Mission 2

Level 4: Jungle


Cobra Commander threatens to fire missiles at targets all over the world, but G.I. Joe finds the secret jungle base in the nick of time! Yo Joe!

Throughout this level, you'll be dealing with men in white that run around everywhere as well as men in red that shoot at you with flamethrowers! You'll also see a lot of planes and tanks, and the trees and shrubs make it harder to get to where you want to go.

If you find a first-aid kit, grab it. It will refill your health and also give you three points for your score.

The boss here is the Weapons and Tactics Specialist, Major Bludd. He'll come after you with a bevy of tanks and planes, and he also flies around on a jetpack. Avoid Major Bludd's attack, such as the multi-shot flamethrower, and stay out of the center when the rockets fire from the base in the background. The thing to shoot here is not Bludd, but the base in the background itself.

When you destroy the Base, you'll also destroy Major Bludd. Of course, it will be replaced with a rotating tower of death that tries to track your whereabouts with a laser. When it turns red, it's about to fire a huge fireballs at you. Keep on the move, and shoot at the tower while avoiding the fireballs as well as the missiles from the tower and the machine gun fire from the numerous planes that take off and fly at you from the background. Once you destroy the tower, it's over.

You'll then open up the entrance to a cavern base, and take an elevator as you get the chance to destroy a bunch of soldiers and planes on your way down to...

Level 5: Canyon Base

You'll have a whole bunch of soldiers and planes to shoot down here. You can also shoot down the rock columns if they get in your way.

All the enemies (and most of the destroyable scenery) aren't anything you've seen before. Since the waves of enemies are getting more varied and more versatile, you'll constantly be on the move as you take down everything that you possibly can.
