- 'G I - Joe' was a conversion for Genco's 1941 'Jungle'.
The name of this game is displayed on the backglass and on the Instruction Card as 'G I - Joe' while advertisements use the more expected spelling of 'G.I. Joe'.
The earliest mention we have found for this conversion kit is in Victory Game's ad in Billboard 07/01/1944 p72. Their last Billboard ad for this kit was 10/05/1946 p123, when prices were raised for all of their kits from $9.50 each to $12.50 each.
