An excellent game. I remember this fondly when I was a writer for Micro Mart magazine
Holy hell - this is a great game - could not believe how long had passed when I finished the video - a true classic and a time sink.
Here is my tribute...
Wow, that’s great stuff :) I like how you persevere through the start and keep going. I see you struggling with the controls a bit, esp. the jump: The basic idea is to press the button, keep it pressed, and only then move left/right/up/down. Joe doesn’t move freely, he is confined to char sized steps. In case you want to explore, there is an infinite lives mode (one of the F keys, it shows in the title scroller)
Have fun!
It's the same old version, nothing new there :)
Thanks for the info, link to the manual is fixed.
