The sound of the music of the game, your voice, plus the sounds of the buttons.... awesome feelings!

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.

Ive just turned 40, and this was my game as a kid, and this is 1st time ive ever watched playtrough/speed run. Congrats, Cowboy Guy, youre someones first ;)

My god I needed this channel in my life

I’ve discovered that watching Arcus totally melts my anxiety away I really appreciate you dude I hope you don’t have a 9-5 job and that playing video games is your only occupation Likable guy playing all of my childhood favorite games, that’s a winning combination for me Genuinely grateful for all of your content sir KLUNK

My son and I love watching your vids. Always a good time! Btw, this game's soundtrack has to be in the top 10 NES games of all time.

Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

G. I. Arcus: A Real American Gamer.

The Best game of Gi-Joe. Saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Oh, clunk yeah.

I used to like renting this game back in the day. Anyone out there still remember Blockbuster?

I remember renting this back between 91 and 92 thought it was great back then

How did I not own this game as a kid? This is right up my alley. Mega Man/Bionic Commando vibes.

I rented this thing for a weekend.. Alcohol and NES go together like a hand in glove! Didn't get to the end but it was a drunken good time!

You're a real American Hero, Arcus.

Unreal athleticism displayed by Mister Arcus.

Ha! I was just thinking about this game earlier today, and how I used to play it as kid. What a coincidence I come across this.

This was one of my favorites as a kid, wow u play all the old favorites lol chill vids, great skills too 👍

I have started saying... "annnnd clunk" in real life when doing jobs... no one gets it 😐

The "roomba" vehicle is called the Buzz Boar. One of my favorite vehicles I had as a kid.

Arcus: A true American speedrunner!

Where was this game when I was a kid. I never even knew there was a GIJoe game on NES, let alone 2 until much later.

Been waiting for this one

Thanks Arcus. Man. I love this game 👍

This was such an awesome game. Loved how many toys were included.

Wow I really like the music in this game

If I want to see NES runs, then I shall go to thee, Arcus.

I've never seen this game but it looks fun.

Музыка в этой игре прям доставляет. Тот кто её писал, явно любит своё дело.

I'd play GI-JOJO, The Real American Cat Bros

I have always loved this game! It's one of the best licensed games on the NES!

PORKCHOP SANDWICHES

Very solid action game. One of the best on the NES

That spring-legged vehicle should have got its own riding music.

Great game, one of the best on the NES.

Arcus is the real American hero.

If I saw Arcus in public and didn't know who he was, I would not think he's a world record holding speedrunner. Farmer would be at the top of my guesses honestly.

Nobody beats G.I. Joe! A Real American Hero! To Joe! Man I grew up with G.I. Joe and I have this game. Time to go and finish this game.

Mashmashmash, aaaand.. clunk!

🤣 No matter how many times I see it, it looks like Prince Adam is whackin' it.

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. 👍🏾

im an anarchist and this is one ov my top 4 favorite games. !MER!KA! LOCAL SPORTSBALL!

Snake Eyes death at the end is sad

I LOVE THIS GAME

That music though. Kinda competes with mega man.

its formally called a "trouble-bubble" but rhumba works.

Good gawd man, that's alot gold!

Awesome game.

ofcourse we all know arcus will chooose ninja

what an amazing over achievement

The G in G.I. Joe stands for Glod apparently arcusGold 😉

U are a genius! Burrito speed run 2.0 please

I would love to see you speed run all Castlevania games.

how is there not 1,000 different cool GI Joe games these days?..COD or Battlefield like GI Joe games. i remember a Commodore 64 GI Joe game that was actually alot of fun...this NES game was also kind of fun (though limited) but seems like theres nothing out there, especially old school GI Joe (80's style)

I wonder if Arcus says mash mash mash when he is making potatoes

Rock and Roll deserves a promotion

Never even seen this game. It looks awesome. I played G.I.Joe on C64 and it was not anything like this.

Always got stuck on mission 2-2 as a kid! Could never find the last detonation site

One of my favorite NES games. So underrated with an awesome soundtrack!! It would've been perfect if you could play as the Baroness (or maybe that's just my bias showing....) LOL.☺ Awesome run as always, Arcus. Say "Hi" to Jojo for me!😸

There used to be a GI glod toy but it exploded when kids played with it.

Second built up Joe, with strong gun helps if main Joe goes down. But good speedrun :)

I always used duke, and never used rock and roll… I think I will try him next time

GI Joe cowboy 🤠

Hi I want to be a speed runner just like u😁

I would like to learn more about this game. It looks awesome. Unfortunately the cart is pretty expensive and I’m not big on emulators

Yeah dude I am now practicing speed runs...I have to do it with a Sega genesis mini until I can afford to get Nintendo...it's actually quite fun

Kickmaster with guns

Also, weird you posted this today because John Riggs did a vid about Taxan games

What is your setup? Trying to upgrade mine but hear all sorts of stuff about latency when upgrading. Figured I’d copy this legends TV/console (does he use a clone), since obviously he’s able to perform incredibly. Anyone know? Or does Arcus himself mind sharing?

Clunking in

getttttttttttttttttttttt em...!!!!

For some reason, when Arcus gets the helicopter, the music makes me think of him wearing a**less chaps and dancing funny. When will he play 8 Eyes?

do another burrito speedrun

I thought that was the dude from nickleback in the thumbnail

Automaton must sync with time device before commencing scripted actions. Passionless automatons, unite!

I haven't played this in 30 years or so, but doesn't on of them have a dive kick that's faster than anything else?

Smash...Smash...anndd....Glob

Arcus would be the king acting in X-rated industry. "Mash mash maash.. Aaaand clunk!"

What is the story behind clunk? or is it pure randomness?

Hello

Do you know why did'nt second part of this game?...- Regards from Nicaragua?.

Hey Arcus, consider creating an account at RetroAchievements and then record your speedruns while playing with achievements! That would be cool!

Would you consider doing "Cyber Shadow"?

Amazonia fish party

good clunk

What emulators do you use arcus?

Speedrun Tetris!

My man Arcus why do you never respond to your you tube but you talk to your stream are they better than us?

U r Legenadary.👍

ArcuSMR)

Porkchop Sandwiches!

catJAM

Welp... I've watched every single video now, and all I have to say is this: knew I found the love of my life when I tried to speed run a date, and during the climax of getting lucky, I mash-mash-mashed, and at the end of the climax, gave a good, "...and clunk." I knew she would be my wife when she turned back and whispered under her breath, "ohhhh stop it."

And...Clunk!

A very strange looking game.

47 minutes off of your PB I don't think it can get much better than that can it

Parabéns pelo novo governo e que tenha sucesso na em suas intervenções militares que acompanho dez do golfo percico

Amazonia is 3 spice
