Joe is the Janitor on an automated space station. Unfortunatly, the Robots have gone Berzerk!!! And after Joe, the only Human they know of. What more of a story do you need. In this cute little game, you have to make it through 5 different levels on board the space station.

It was written in five days by Kevin Bales in basic, then compiled and released as freeware on a BBS. It is also known as Jump Joe. The game was widely distributed and played when it spread out on other BBSs. For a game Kevin Bales didn't intend to sell, Janitor Joe is surprisingly complete and fun to play.

While playing through all the rooms, many obstacles are on Joe's way: The Mad Robots, Long Jumps and Falls and also Low Oxygen. Special devices like slides and lifts will help Joe.

It is also worth it to look for the 'Special room', a secret corridor between rooms. Here you may get many extra men and points. It also contains a hint on how to play any room you want!
