Janitor Joe is a DOS game by Kevin Bales in which the player must gather keys and escape from a NASA station. Bales released the free game as a teenager via BBSs in Atlanta, and later said "I only spent five days on the programming part. I didn't write it to sell - I was only experimenting.[1]" Nonetheless, the game was widely distributed and played.
The primary dangers are falls, mad robots, and a limited supply of oxygen. Each level features a different type of device to aid Joe in escaping:
- Level 1 - (none)
- Level 2 - Slides
- Level 3 - Elevators
- Level 4 - Invisible ladders
- Level 5 - Moving platforms
