Janky Joe in Retro Hell - ZX Spectrum Version
A downloadable game
Janky Joe in Retro Hell
For reasons unknown, Janky Joe is about to jump out of a helicopter and into a whole world of trouble.
Join our hero as he enters the haunted ANTcade to play through janky interpretations of retro classics and rescue the trapped souls of those who have dared entered before.
Featuring a superb soundtrack by the AWARD WINNING DJ h0ffman*.
The game was made using Jonathan Cauldwell's MPAGD, with special thanks to Bruce Groves and a wonderful online community for all their help.
Feedback edition: removes the need for pressing a key between each level, makes Janky Joust level more playable & removes the janky animation of the main character.
Coffee cup edition: retains the improvements of the Feedback Edition, but restores Nate's janky animations.

Excellent Game. Mix of great gameplay, music and nostalgia
Wow thank you very much. That's exactly what we were aiming for, so this review is really appreciated. 😃👍
Our internet is playing up here so no Streaming Services or online gaming so I have spent all evening playing this. Managed to beat the game after a solid 2 hours of play. Edging on a few screens each time. Those later levels are genius. Cheers.
That's awesome! Great going. 👍
I just played Janky Joe. Love it! Made me swear... often! hahaha Here is my video of my play.
Amazing! That was a lot of fun to watch. 😂
Might have to show it to my son with the sound turned down though! 😂😂
yeh, I like to swear a tad. hah
Fun and surprising game :)
My gameplay here
Thank you so much for playing our game.
The sound seems to be a bit off, not sure if it's an issue with the settings, it should have 4:3 aspect ratio.
Brilliant run though & I really appreciate you checking out our game & putting out a video, thanks so much.
It was pleasure
Muy adictivo y toda una oda a los grandes videojuegos de toda nuestra vida. La música es sencillamente salvaje! Felicidades
¡Muchas gracias!
Nos divertimos creando el juego.
