G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor is an action-platformer released for the NES in 1991. Following the events of the original G.I. Joe game, Cobra Commander has resurfaced and raised the lost continent of Atlantis. You begin the mission as General Hawk and must fight through Cobra’s forces, rescuing fellow Joes like Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Duke along the way. Each character you unlock brings unique weapons and skills to the team, allowing you to swap between them to overcome different obstacles.
How to Play
Your objective is to navigate the branching paths of Atlantis, defeat Cobra’s forces, and stop Cobra Commander. Use the D-pad (Arrow Keys) to move, press A (Z key) to jump, and press B (X key) to attack or fire your weapon. Start (Enter) pauses the game, while Select (Shift) allows you to switch between your rescued team members on the fly.
Tips for Success
- Use the right Joe for the job: Characters have distinct advantages. For example, Snake Eyes has high jump capabilities and strong melee attacks, making him ideal for tight platforming sections.
- Explore alternate routes: The game features a map screen with branching paths. Replaying completed levels or taking different routes can help you uncover hidden power-ups and rescue missing teammates earlier.
