Joe Blade is the title of a series of budget-price platform games written by Colin Swinbourne and published by Players.
All three titles were flick-screen adventures, in which the player controls the titular character through a number of rooms, dispatching enemies and rescuing innocent people. The manner of this varies between the three games.

Famous quotes containing the words joe and/or blade:
“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchopper’s axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, “By George, I’ll bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that.” These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I would not knock old fellows in the dust
But there lay Captain Carpenter on his back
His weapons were the old heart in his bust
And a blade shook between rotten teeth alack.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
