  • Export saves: export the savegame files from your browser, so you can switch to another browser or computer. You can also use them in an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Import saves: import savegames that you exported before with the Export saves button.
  • Download disk: export the whole game from your browser, with all your savegames. Useful to switch to an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Reset game files: if you somehow messed up the game files, you can reset them to an exact copy of the original.
  • Reset saves: delete all savegames from your browser. We recommend that you export them first: there is no turning back!
Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

Janitor Joe - Play Online

DOS - 1984

For small DOS games like Janitor Joe, you can play online immediately with your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera...). This feature is experimental, the game may not work properly.

Warning: game save should work, but you should try it early! Also, be careful to select the right game executable in the list above.

It boots (type dir to see and run janitorjoe.exe or janito~2.exe or whatever), but after hitting "P" it just kinda freezes.

Hey guys and girls, you just have to put janito~2.exe intsead of janito~1.exe. Remember that you can make "~" symbol presing ALT + 146 (ascii command), later in the game you have to put keyboard instead of joystick. I was like 6 years old when I played this, good old memories. Enjoy fellow gamers!

Didn't work in Safari. Gave the illegal command, but I was able to figure out how to start it anyway. However, the arrow keys don't work, so Joe just runs left and gets stuck against the wall. No jumping or anything.

No Workie - "Illegal Command: JANITOR" Can someone please fix. This it needs a hyphen or something. Would love to play this again.
