G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and The Atlantis Factor
For much of the NES’s lifespan, The Goonies was the system’s definitive example of a Japanese-developed game based on a distincly American property. Four years later, however, it was finally eclipsed by an even more intrinsically American brand: G.I. Joe. Despite being created by the code ninjas at a Japanese stealth developer, G.I. Joe for NES (and to a lesser extent, its sequel The Atlantis Factor) did the best job of capturing the essence of the western franchise upon which it was based.*

Great article. Growing up G.I. Joes were always my favorite toys. I remember how excited I was when I found out there was a game based on that universe. Good times.
