Synopsis

Pogo Joe is a computer game for the Commodore 64 and Atari 8-bit family, written by William F. Denman, Jr. and Oliver Steele. Michael Haire did the artwork and Steven Baumrucker wrote the sound and music routines, designed and named the levels, and wrote the music. It was published by Screenplay in 1983.

Pogo Joe is a Q*Bert clone with several additional features. The player takes on the role of the eponymous Pogo Joe, a boy on a pogo stick. The game takes place across 65 different levels, each made up of a different arrangement of barrels. To complete a level, Pogo Joe must jump on each barrel.

To make Pogo Joe's job more difficult, several enemies inhabit the levels. They first start out as spherical “eggs” of different colors. Colliding with these "eggs" kills the enemy inside them, but if they are left alone for a few seconds, the "eggs" hatch into different kinds of enemies, contact with which is fatal to Pogo Joe.
