Joe Blade was a rather fun game in which you searched all over this military compound looking for hostages. As a side-scrolling shooter it wasn't that violent as you only ever encountered a bad guy once in a while. Bizarrely, when you shot them they instantly became a pile of skull and bones that looked like a small white chicken to me. But I was about 8 when I played it.
But a few minutes in (you had exactly 30 minutes and counting to complete it) the game got so difficult that I never got any further. I'm talking about the bomb you had to defuse by breaking some kind of code. It was impossible and you only got sixty seconds to do it in. If it weren't for that I'm sure I would have played Joe Blade for much longer.
The Commodore Amiga version had much, much better graphics btw.
