Description

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero is a 2D action game with two different game types.

In the first mode, you have to destroy enemy tanks, radar stations and Cobra HQ in a top-down view. There are different geographical locations like wood, desert and Arctic tundra. The available characters in this mode are Ace (jet fighter), Steeler (tank), Wild Bill (helicopter) and Clutch (Jeep).

In the second mode, various Joe characters ("Joes") face off against Cobra characters in one-on-one battles, using their unique weapons that all vary in weight and reloading speed. Battles can be fought against backdrops like city, Cobra HQ, Arctic tundra, desert, or the woods.The loser of each battle goes to prison and becomes unavailable for future battles. 

There are sixteen available Joe characters in this mode: Duke, Scarlett, Recondo, Torpedo, Snake Eyes, Roadblock, Spirit, Zap, Gung-Ho, Snow Job, Blowtorch, and Stalker. On the Cobra side, the available characters to battle are Destro, Baroness, Zartan, Firefly, Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow, Major Bludd, and Scrap-Iron.

On May 26, 1987, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero was put on the infamous German index by the BPjS.

Description from the packaging:

Designed by Ray Carpenter and Jeff Johannigman.
Imagine seeing G.I. Joe come to life on your computer screen, fighting COBRA on battlefields all over the world... and you in control of their every move. Imagine acting out real battles with sound effects and explosions. Imagine tracking down and destroying fully-animated COBRA enemy tanks in true-to-life action settings. Now you can do it all.

It's easy because G.I. Joe is now a Computer Activity Toy. Epyx gives you new ways to play and choices you've never had before. Start your mission by checking the computerized World Hot-Spot map for areas of COBRA activity. Then pick the area that needs you help, and select the G.I. Joe who's best suited for the mission. The heat-loving jungle trooper Recondo is your best choice for battling Destro in the Amazon, but Wild Bill with his Assault Copter Dragonfly is your best bet if you're headed for the bush country. In all there are sixteen G.I. Joes to choose from, including the popular Duke and Stalker. No matter who you choose, you better dodge the enemy fire, pinpoint COBRA headquarters, then take aim and fire. This is your chance to become a Real American Hero, right on your computer screen.
