[Zarana]

I can't wait to down load this tonight! Also I demand a sequel.

[A.C.T.]

Downloading it now so me and my son can play...shit looks bonkers with a side butter biscuits i.e, I Like It!

[angelofdeath69]

It's for Mac too? hope so! looks cool!

[Crazy Legs]

What is it, a fighter?

[Jettfire]

Congratulations and thanks, many times over!

[crock master]

good stuff

[luigi]

cool

[80sKid]

Awesome! This looks so great I can't wait to get home to play! Thanks to you and everyone involved in making it!

[hantei40]

thank you for making this. Can't wait to play.

[Range Viper]

I'm not sure about Mac. The OpenBOR engine can run on other systems, but you'd have to do some research at the Lavalit website.

[Range Viper]

If you want to run the game on other platforms besides PC, you can read up about OpenBOR here:
http://lavalit.com:8080/index.php

PSP, Dreamcast, Wii, and Mac all seem to be doable.

[fireflyguy]

This looks cool! I hope it does work on mac, because I'm gonna try it when I get home.

[gyrapados]

I will definitely have to look at downloading it really soon. Gonna be awesome!!

[SmokedPorter]

I haven't played video games in years. And definitely not on my computer. Is there a simple joystick I can buy instead of using the keyboard?

Fantastic job with this game! I am very grateful.

[07GT500 COBRA]

Just in time as I was trying to decide what game to play.

[The Commander]

Thank you SO much for this! You guys are awesome!

[poddie]

Would LOVE ot have this, but can't for the life of me get this SendSpace CRAP to work. Ugh.

Glad I only installed it in a virtual mahcine.

And chace of a regualr link for people that don't want tond of spyware installe don their computer? I hate to complain about a free game, but this is some frustrating stuff.

[Range Viper]

Hi poddie, yes originally the game was on Mediafire but Hasbro took it down. Someone else uploaded it to Sendspace. The link works, but Sendspace has 3 links which say Download, 1 is the correct link and the others are spam ads. If you go back to my first post you'll see I attached a photo showing which link to click to download the game.

[Scoop]

Will this play on an arcade emulator such as MAME?

I see that on the LavaLit website it mentions that some games can be played on the following platforms...

Dreamcast
Dingoo
Gp2x
Linux (32 Bit)
Linux (64 Bit)
PSP
Wii
Windows
Wiz

I have a GP2X Wiz so I would like to see if I can get this G.I. Joe game to run on one of the emulators for it.

[Range Viper]

I also have a Wiz, but I don't think the latest version of OpenBOR has been ported to Wiz. You can get the older OpenBOR games to run on Wiz but when I tried loading GI JOE it freezes on the loading screen.

[sudelaya]

Such a great game we've been playing it alot here too.

[EduardimusPrime]

cool. I'l check it out!

[MeLikeJinx]

Trying it out now... pretty trippy. Getting my a** kicked by the Cobra blueshirts though. LOL. Worth it just too hear the old school Joe sound effects and music though. Pretty damn cool.

[Range Viper]

SmokedPorter, yes you can use joysticks or gamepads with OpenBOR. Under Options there's a way to configure them (and be sure to enable Gamepad).

MeLikeJinx, just keep at it, you'll get the hang of it. If you're playing as Snake Eyes, don't forget you can summon Timber to help you out.

[BsainNWO]

Amazing job Range Viper! You captured all the elements nicely.

[80sKid]

Maybe I am doing something wrong but I downloaded it and when I run the EXE file I get a small window that pops up showing various game consoles and when you put the cursor over top of the window it disappears and I can't click anything except the X to close the window. I have never used an emulator or anything before. I have Windows XP how can I actually play this game? I appreciate the help and very excited to play it!

It took me awhile to get it going to...


After downloading...

This is from Range Viper:

"....You should see the folder. Open the folder and you'll see a yellow icon that says GI JOE - PLAY. Just double click that to launch the game. The game auto-saves. Every time you reach a new level it saves, so you can quit and Load Saved Game anytime to continue where you left off."

Cool thank you! I'll try that when I get home.

No prob. Hope it helps...

Ive been playing this game for hours! It is SO awesome!! :D

[Woo-Dig-It]

thanks for your hard work and for sharing with us! downloading now.....

[80sKid]

No prob. Hope it helps...

Ive been playing this game for hours! It is SO awesome!! :D

I have no yellow icon. There is an exe file called "GI Joe - Play" I run that and still just gety a small window that says "open beats of rage" and then I cannot do anything.

[2pacnacho]

Going to give it a try.

[Range Viper]

Make sure you're unzipping the game with Winzip (or 7-zip works well too). You should have a folder with the "GI Joe - Play" exe in it, as well as sub folders such as 'data', 'paks' etc. If anything is missing it won't run.

[80sKid]

Dang man all I want to do is play this game...

[Range Viper]

The other option is go to lavalit.com and download OpenBOR from there. On their site if you go to the downloads section you'll see the PAK for GI JOE. Download it too and put it in the pak's folder in OpenBOR and you're good to go.

[Indiana Joe]

It's for Mac too? hope so! looks cool!

I'm a MAC. so... did it work for mac?

[Azzurro21]

Mac here also...tried everything with OpenBOR...no luck. Anyone figure out how to run it on a mac?

[Cobra Terrorist]

I was just wondering if this game ran on a Mac (I'm on one too.). No Joe game goodness for me!

[troublemagnet]

Could u please tell me how to configure a standard USB game controller to the game so I can use it/ Game plays great otherwise...

Okay cool I will try that. Man I have been trying to play this game for days and getting quite antsy that I cannot get it to work!

[Beckley]

That's amazing, awesome work!

[Clobbertron]

I'm finally checking this out now. Thumbs up

[King Kahn]

heard about this on the joe podcast. Can't wait to try it out on my Mac.

[Rasstis]

Troblemat try "joy to key". Awesome, I am going to try this out later. I need to remeber you range viper. COBRA!

[blackbarn]

Thanks for making this available. If they won't give us a classic Joe game then it's up to fans to do it. Nice work!

[Range Viper]

I did an interview about the making of the game with the awesome folks at What's On Joe Mind. You can hear the podcast here:
Episode 54: What’s on JOE Mind? » What's on JOE Mind? (http://whatsonjoemind.podbean.com/2012/05/13/episode-54-whats-on-joe-mind/#comments)

I actually preferred playing with General Hawk since he has the super fast short punch just like Guile. Fun game... just like Final Fight. The best part though was just seeing all the Joe cameos in the background like Falcon and Mutt and the rest... so cool.

Neato.

[RuckusJr]

I found a little glitch I think. I got killed in the forest by the cargo truck and I regenerated covered up by the truck. The game is DOPE, though!

[Range Viper]

Someone posted videos of themselves playing through the whole game on YouTube. They unlocked the secret bonus mission in one of them. Funny enough, they didn't complete the game (there's a fail ending if you don't stop the missile launch in time).

[Yoo Joe]

would this be able to work on a gaming pad.

[crock master]

would this be able to work on a gaming pad.

they say it works with a pad, but i cant get it to work

[TK1945]

I can't wait to get home and try this out! Thank YOU!

[Yoo Joe]

Great job on the game

[Yoo Joe]

any plans on any new content coming out.

[theprocess]

I'm going to try it at work tomorrow. Thank you. Looks great.

[NSP]

I played this game non-stop for hours over a month ago. Got to Cobra Commander and lost. Game Over..no more lives. I need to try again! haha Great game!

[Mainframe]

Cool, will thy later

[Range Viper]

NSP, here's a 'cheat' so you don't run out of lives. When you die (or fail a mission) pause the game and quit out before it goes to the next screen. Then start the game again, and pick load saved game instead of new game (the game auto-saves to whatever the last stage you were on). It will also add lives this way.

[shdwknt]

damn port this to iPad so I can use the icade with it.. it would make this game 10000% better then it already is.. and its cool as shit now!

[crock master]

ive been stuck on the skystriker stage for some time now

[Range Viper]

Here's a tip for the skystriker stage:

again, if the Flagg is about to sink, pause and quit and load saved him before you get the fail screen.

The key to the later levels is bomb management. When you have 10 left, go rearm and refuel on the Flagg. The best time to rearm is just after you kill a Night Raven or Torpedo (if you're on the final stage).
