Yo! Joe! Amiga Scipio 1993


Yo! Joe!



Scipio of Germany released Yo! Joe! for the Amiga in 1993. Yo! Joe! is a top-tier platform game that features single-player or 2-player simultaneous action.

In Yoe! Joe! players assume the role of either Joe Maroni or Nat Gonzales as they seek to rid the hood of Black-Sect forces led by Professor X. The object of Yo! Joe! is to collect goodies and kill baddies en route to the exit, which is usually blocked by a big baddie, culminating in Professor X.

Yo! Joe! scrolls multi-directionally at 50 FPS in 32-color 320x256. Overall, the audiovisuals are rock-solid and the stages feature enough variation.

Joe and Nat can walk left and right, crouch, crawl, slide, swim, jump low and high, jump-kick, climb onto platforms and pick up objects. Once collected, Joe and Nat can wield nunchaku, shuriken, crowbar, chainsaw and petrol bomb against the baddies.

Yo! Joe! was programmed by Harald Hoeppner, Alexander Kurth and Jens Meggars, drawn and designed by Harald Kuhn and composed by Michael Bialas.
